Thanks for commenting, Geoff. Yes, I know about the suicide/homicide controversy, but I hadn't read about any defensive wounds. I did read an account that said while the angle, etc., was consistent with self injury, there were no hesitation wounds and he stabbed himself *through* his clothing, which are more indicative of homicide. And despite his frequent talk of suicide, many of his friends refused to believe he'd taken his own life. All I know for certain is that the world lost an amaziing artist.

Just a side note, Elliot Smith's death being labeled as a suicide by local police is highly contested by his family. In case you weren't aware of the facts he was actually sober after a lifetime of drug abuse and was arguing with his girlfriend who locked him out of the house. He was found with stab wounds in his chest and cuts on both hands, like those that would be found on someone trying to defend themself from an attack.
