    So, did she kill him or did he kill himself?

    The story of what happened sounds too fishy. If he was threatening to kill himself, why would she just go have a shower? And if she locked herself in the bathroom, did he threaten her? It's all so confusing.

    Also, the worst thing she could have done was take the knife out of his chest, which she did.

    The suicide letter had "elliott" spelled with only one "t" I believe. She definitely did it.

    Who commits suicide by stabbing themselves in the chest?

    Suicide with knife usually doesn't happen by stabs to the chest.

    Either/Or is the essence of Elliott Smith...after that go with XO. Never was a big fan of Basement but to each his/her own. Also, check out http://www.trashtreasury.com/ for some sick live shows (some better quality than others--I recommend shows from 97-00)

    Dude, that is the most romantic and poetic way to kill yourself. When it is all said and done, I almost wish Elliott killed himself this way. It makes his words and music so much more meaningful and poetic.

    I think I read about it on his wiki page. I'm sure there are better resources though.

    The only reason there was a hype surrounding him was because he died a sudden, tragic, controversial death. Other than that, no one really gave him any publicity.
    I think he was a brilliant songwriter who would have remained, for the most part, undiscovered, had he not passed so young.

    I disagree with your opinion of Elliott, but that was funny. Well played.
