Police in Seattle have announced that they have re-opened the case of Kurt Cobain's death after new evidence has emerged. 

Seattle PD say that a cold case officer is reviewing the apparent suicide of the Nirvana frontman, ahead of the 20th anniversary of his death. The new evidence is simply higher quality versions of photos from the scene of his death that were already available to the public. See the photos below. 

One image show a box containing a spoon and what appear to be needles on the floor next to a cigarette and sunglasses, while the other image depicts the paraphernalia box closed, next to cash and a wallet that appears to show Cobain’s identification.

Last night, Seattle’s KIRO TV also shared a video interview with the cold case officer in charge of re-examining the case, with Detective Mike Ciesynsk stating that the photos were backups from the crime scene, saying that they had them developed to put an end to conspiracy theorists.

After reviewing the evidence once more, Det Ciesynsk concluded that Cobain’s death was indeed a suicide, as he found no evidence to make him believe otherwise. Watch the interview below.
