Kurt Cobain Death Scene Photos
Kurt Cobain
On 5 April 1994, Kurt Cobain, the tortured front-man of Nirvana, shot himself in the room above his garage. His body was discovered 3 days later (8 April) by an electrician visiting his property. Over 25 years later, the Seattle Police Department has released some of the death scene photos. I have posted some of them, below. These are not graphic, so no caution is required when viewing the images.
