In 2014, on the 20th anniversary of his death, a cold case detective reviewed Cobain's case files but found no new evidence to suggest that Cobain's death was anything other than a suicide. However, the detective did discover four rolls of undeveloped film from the scene of Cobain's suicide.

Two years later, in 2016, the Seattle Police released photos of the shotgun that Cobain used to end his life. The pictures showed Ciesynski holding the gun at different angles, shedding new light on the tragic event that had rocked the music world.
