MUMBAI: Almost 20 years after Nirvana’s frontman Kurt Cobain was found dead in his Lake Washington home, Seattle police have released never before seen images from the singer’s suicide. According to reports, a police spokesperson revealed that multiple rolls of undeveloped film from the scene were found by a detective who reviewed Cobain’s case files recently.
The spokesperson- Renee Witt revealed that nothing “earth-shattering” was found in the images, and that police were reviewing the case so as to be ready for Cobain’s death anniversary next month. “There’s still a lot of interest in this case,” Witt said. “The detective went into the case files to refresh himself. The outcome of the case has not changed.”
One of the recently revealed images shows a closed box and strewn around it is a cigarette pack, some cash, sunglasses and a wallet, which possibly shows Cobain’s identification. Another image shows an open paraphernalia box that contains what appear to be needles and a spoon on the floor. Lying beside it is half a cigarette.
