Seattle police have just released never before seen photographs taken at the scene of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's death in 1994.<br /><br />The images, taken from rolls of film that were left undeveloped until now, show among other things a hat, a wallet, a packet of American Spirit cigarettes, a lighter, and a cigar box. In one photograph, the cigar box is left open and can be seen to contain syringes and a spoon, implements for preparing and consuming heroin.<br /><br />Police said the film was re-examined in anticipation of the 20th anniversary of the musician's death, to dispel rumors of foul play kept alive by conspiracy theorists. <br /><br />Cobain, considered one of the greatest musical artists of his time, was found dead with a gunshot wound to the head and shot gun across his chest in his home on April 8, 1994. A suicide note was discovered near the body and police ruled the death a suicide.<br /><br />Police said the images offer no new information and that Cobain's death will not be reinvestigated.<br /><br />Cobain, who was married to rock singer Courtney Love and had a young daughter at the time, was known to have struggled with drug use and depression before his death. He was 27 when he died.
