Seattle Police Department Has Released Images Of The Shotgun Kurt Cobain Used To Kill Himself

Over two decades ago, the world lost Kurt Cobain after he took his own life with a shotgun in his home.

Since then, many conspiracies and theories have been put forward about his suicide but all evidence points to the fact that the Cobain's depression had lead him to shoot himself.

The 20-gauge shotgun the Nirvana front man used has been kept by Seattle Police Department in an evidence room ever since his body was found on April 8th, 1994. Seattle police have now added images of that very gun to the investigation file.

Weirdly, a detective from the Seattle Police Department is posing with the infamous shotgun. However other pictures were released on their website that don't make it look like a middle-aged man's mid-life crisis Facebook profile picture.
