A never-before-seen photo from the scene where rocker Kurt Cobain’s body was discovered on April 8, 1994, was obtained Thursday by Seattle’s KIRO TV. The picture depicts a cigar box stuffed with heroin paraphernalia.
Like plaid, public fascination with Kurt Cobain's death never goes out of style.
Seattle police recently developed four rolls of film evidence showing the grisly scene where the Nirvana frontman's body was discovered with a gunshot wound to his head, Seattle's KIRO-TV reported.
A never-before-seen photo released by the Seattle Police Department from the scene where the body of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain was discovered on April 8, 1994.
A separate never-before-seen photo from the police case file — showing a cigar box stuffed with heroin and drug paraphernalia found near the singer's body — was also obtained by the television station and posted late Thursday
Seattle police examine the body of Kurt Cobain, which lies on the floor of a room above the detached garage adjacent to his home.
It was not immediately clear why the 35mm film sat undeveloped in a police vault all this time, but investigators decided not to reopen the case after viewing the photographs.
"No change, no developments, no new leads," a police spokeswoman told the Washington Post.
The body of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain is taken to a medical examiner's van.
News of the photos comes just weeks before the 20th anniversary on April 5 of the 27-year-old grunge icon's passing. Cobain's body was found three days later in what was ruled a suicide by the medical examiner's office.
"I noticed something on the floor and I thought it was a mannequin," electrician Gary Smith, who discovered the body, told KIRO TV at the time. "So I looked a little closer and geez, that's a person. I looked a little closer and I could see blood and an ear and a weapon laying on his chest."
photo will be small for respect only :
A suicide note turned up nearby and was later read publicly at a memorial by Cobain's widow, Courtney Love.
"Please keep going Courtney," he wrote. "For Francis, for her life which will be so much happier without me. I love you, I love you."
Despite the coroner's ruling and the singer's reported history with depression, conspiracy theorists have claimed for the past two decades that Cobain was murdered.
