Photos Of Grundge Rocker Kurt Cobain Suicide Shotgun Released
In another attempt to quell conspiracy theories about the death of Kurt Cobain, authorities are showing a key piece of evidence from the sad chapter in rock music history.
Cobain, 27, was found dead in his Seattle home on April 8, 1994. His death was ruled a suicide.
This week, investigators released five photos showing a detective holding the apparent suicide weapon, a Remington shotgun.
CBS News asked for the photos in a public records request to “dispel a rumor … that the shotgun had been melted down to hide evidence in a supposed … coverup of a potential murder.”
Two years ago, on the 20th anniversary of Cobain’s death, police released grainy pictures showing evidence collected at the scene — including a box filled with syringes and a tainted spoon, a lighter, cigarette packet and other personal belongings strewn across the floor.
Investigators have not released any graphic crime scene photos. But there is a lawsuit by conspiracy theorist Richard Lee to show the pictures of Cobain’s body.
Cobain’s widow, Courtney Love, and their daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, have been fighting his request, saying in court documents that the pictures “would encourage more disturbed stalkers and fanatical threats.”
Such a tragic ending. Rock In Peace Kurt Cobain.

The Cartel Theory Raised In OJ Simpson Trial
On the latest episode of FX’s American Crime Story, Johnnie Cochran and O.J. Simpson’s defense team mentioned a Colombian drug cartel theory in court.
According to Cochran, the cartel was responsible for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. He also mentioned a technique used by the drug dealers called the Colombian Necktie — which, under any circumstances, you should not Google.The drug cartel theory revolved around Faye Resnick and her reported drug use prior to the time of the murders. The theory was just that — a theory — but has Resnick ever spoken out about it?
In The People v. O.J. Simpson, Cochran and the defense team proposed a “drug theory” as a possible explanation for the murders.
A New York Times article published during the trial detailed what Cochran proposed. According to him, the murders were not a result of an upset ex-husband – O.J. Simpson – but rather, drug dealers.
The theory was dismissed months later.
According to Judge Ito, the defense was “highly speculative” and the team was not allowed to mention Resnick’s alleged drug use to the jurors. This was a pretty big blow to the defense, since Cochran hoped to bring in Resnick’s then-boyfriend, Christian Reichardt, as a witness.
