Seattle Police Reopening Investigation Into Kurt Cobain's Death
http://gawker.com/seattle-police…
Police have reportedly reopened the investigation into Kurt Cobain's death, nearly twenty years after the Nirvana frontman was found dead in his Seattle home.
From KIRO 7:
Last month, police developed four rolls of film that had been sitting for years in a Seattle police evidence vault. The 35 mm film was processed by the King County Sheriff's Office photo lab under high security.
Though the pictures have a slight green tint because of deterioration, police say they more clearly show the scene than the earlier Polaroid photos taken by investigators.
The images will not be released to the public, police said, though KIRO claims to have obtained one. That photo, along with more information about the case's new investigation, will be broadcast tonight, according to the station.Cobain was found dead on April 8, 1994 from an (apparently) self-inflicted shotgun wound. An autopsy also revealed a lethal amount of heroin in his bloodstream. His death was ruled a suicide by the Seattle medical examiner.
- Update: Seatle Times reports that they reexamined the evidence, they didn't reopen the case.jtb26
