New Photos From KURT COBAIN Death Scene Released

March 24, 2014

The Pulse Of Radio reports that Seattle police have released photos to the press that were part of four undeveloped rolls of film taken at the home of NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain on the day he was found dead of a self-inflicted shotgun wound. According to USA Today, the police had Detective Mike Ciesynski revisit the files in anticipation of media interest in the 20th anniversary of Cobain's death, but determined that neither the photos nor any of the existing evidence offered anything new.

Among the things shown in the photos, one displayed a box with a spoon and needles, half a cigarette and sunglasses. Another showed cash, a cigarette pack and a wallet with what looks like Cobain's ID next to the closed box.

Ciesynski wrote on the Seattle Police Department's online blotter that any conspiracy theories still surrounding Cobain's death were "completely inaccurate. It's a suicide. This is a closed case."

The singer/guitarist's body was discovered on April 8, 1994 when an electrician came to his house, three days after police determined that he had shot himself.

Earlier that year, Cobain had tried to kill himself in Rome by taking an overdose of tranquilizers.

NIRVANA will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame on April 10 — five days after the 20th anniversary of his death — alongside KISS, Linda Ronstadt and others.
