New Kurt Cobain death scene photos released

Police in Seattle, Washington have released new images of Kurt Cobain's death scene as Nirvana fans prepare to mark the 20th anniversary of his passing next month (Apr14).

The 35 undeveloped photos were discovered during a recent re-investigation into the rock star's suicide.

Now developed, they show Cobain's suicide note, with a pen stuck directly through the middle of it, his driving license and his heroin kit in a cigar box that was found at the scene.

The Smells Like Teen Spirit rocker was just 27 when he was found dead of a shotgun wound in his home on Lake Washington Boulevard, Seattle on 8 April 1994.

The initial police investigation determined that Cobain had committed suicide three days before.
