The K-p {yields} {pi}0{pi}0{sigma}0 reaction is studied within a chiral unitary model. The distribution of {pi}0{sigma}0 states forming the {lambda}(1405) shows, in agreement with a recent experiment, a peak at 1420 MeV and a relatively narrow width of {gamma} = 38 MeV. We use these data in combination with those of the {pi}-p {yields} K0{pi}{sigma} reaction and elements of chiral unitary theory to prove that there are two {lambda}(1405) states instead of one as so far assumed.
