A Seattle court has ruled that photographs from the scene of Kurt Cobain’s death will remain sealed from the public.

 

In 2014, conspiracy theorist Richard Lee had sued the city over the release of the images, believing them to support his long-held view that Cobain was killed by government officials.

 

Cobain’s death on 5 April 1994 was ruled suicide.

 

Court documents state that the images depict “Cobain’s body as it lay in the family residence after he was shot in the head”.
