He and Courtney had been separated for 26

, the longest span of their relationship, and he went to the Vatican and stole some large candelabras. Courtney remembered that she also gave me a piece of the coliseum and also bought a dozen. red roses, a Vatican lingerie rosary, and a pair of three-carat diamond earrings.

Love did not return to the hotel until much later than expected. He had been in London during the day doing press for his upcoming album when Courtney and Francis

Kurt was reported to have taken 60 rohypno pills. He was dead. Legally dead. Love was reported later, but after his stomach was pumped. Kurt had a slight pulse even though he was in a coma the doctors told Courtney it was a matter of chance he would recover unharmed he could have brain damage or he could die during a break in his vigil Kurt showed his first signs of life within 20 hours there were tubes in his mouth, so Courtney handed him a pencil and a notebook and he wrote down "you" followed by "get these tubes out of my nose" when he finally spoke he ordered a strawberry milkshake in Seattle on March 12 and March 18, police was called to Cobain. residence on March 12 Seattle police were sent to the Lake Washington home after someone called 9-1-1 but hung up Courtney answered the door and apologized for the call and

explained

that there had been a fight but she was now under control Kurt told the officer there There was a lot of stress in their marriage, he said they should go to therapy on March 18th.

There was an incident where Kurt locked himself in the bedroom. Now Courtney kicked the door but couldn't break it down. Courtney called 9-1-1 and two. Police officers arrived within minutes. Courtney had told the police that Kurt was suicidal, however, Kurt told the police that was not the case, that he did not want to hurt himself and claimed that he had locked himself in the room to stay away from Courtney. The police confiscated three of Cobain's guns and Kurt was taken downtown, but the police did not formally arrest him. Kurt had not been the same since the incident in Rome and his friends and family were worried about him and it was on March 25 that an intervention was carried out.

For Kurt, basically, you had several people from friends, bandmates, Kurt's managers and they were there to help him and get him into drug rehab. Kurt and his friend Dylan had just gotten high and they both came downstairs and were confronted by this intervention and, understandably, Kurt was furious. The people who attended gave him several ultimatums. Pat Smear was the only Nirvana member there. He said that Nirvana would break up and also Kurt's management, Gary Gersh, said that Geffen would drop Nirvana from his label if he didn't leave. in rehab so Kurt was being given all these ultimatums, I mean ultimately these people were just trying to help him, but Courtney Love herself would later say that this whole intervention was a mistake and it was her fault and that The whole tough love thing just doesn't work. it didn't work and that she should never have done it that he was in cahoots to know how you really feel.

I don't know, you feel like his death is your fault in this case. Yes, because since he didn't need to ask for an intervention, he should. I didn't ask for an intervention, I just panicked because you tried to get him off drugs and since he didn't, he couldn't get off drugs even though you were trying to do the right thing, it's your fault, he thought it was a waste. of space, yes, yes, but ultimately they were just trying to help Kurt get him into rehab and get him better because he wasn't doing very well at that stage, so it was a very difficult situation, in fact, Kurt insisted on that no one in the room had the right to do so.

Judge him, he retreated to the basement with a stain saying that all he wanted to do was play guitar for a while. On March 30th, this is where Kurt left Seattle for Los Angeles to receive his drug rehab treatment, however, before leaving for Los Angeles, Kurt got his friend Dylan to buy him a shotgun, Kurt said it was for protection. and because of the marauders the shotgun and box of shells cost 308.37 which

gave to dylan and after buying the shotgun

kurt

went home later that night a limo picked up

from his house in Lake Washington and took him to the airport and on the way to the airport, Kurt realized he still had the box of shotgun shells and asked the limo driver to get rid of them, and said he would smear them and I would give him a pat.

The Gold Mountain Records representative met Kurt in Lax on Wednesday afternoon and took him to the Exodus recovery center. Kurt was assigned room 206 in the 20-bed facility. The next morning, a Thursday, Kurt began his treatment. Gibby Haynes of the band Butthole Surfers went there with Kurt as well for his own drug rehab, Haynes remembered this about Cobain, he seemed sick and tired of being sick and tired. Courtney had apparently called Exodus several times that day and argued with the staff when they told her Kurt was unavailable that day. In the afternoon, Francis's babysitter, Jackie Ferry, and Francis Bean came to visit Kurt.

Francis was 19 months old at the time. Kurt played with her, but Ferry noticed that she seemed out of it and assumed it was because of the drugs that the center had given him to help him with withdrawal. Jackie and Francis only stayed a little while but promised to return the next day, Friday the first of April. Jackie Ferry, the babysitter, and Francis returned to see Kurt and noticed a marked improvement in his mood compared to the first visit. He was more physical with francis. and he threw her into the air to make her laugh. The fairy walked down the hall for a moment thinking that he would give the two of them time alone when he returned.

Kurt held Francis on his shoulder, patting him on the back and speaking sweetly in his ear. The fairy gathered Francis and told Kurt that they would see him the next day. He walked them to the door, looked his daughter in the eyes and said goodbye to her. This would be the last time Kurt would see his daughter early in the afternoon. Kurt and Gibby Haynes were. enjoying smoking in the smoking area behind Exodus and they were both joking and laughing about a former patient who had escaped by jumping over the wall and how stupid it was considering that Exodus's front doors opened anyway around 7: 25 p.m.

At night he left through Exodus's back door and scaled the six-foot-high wall he and Gibby had joked about earlier that day. He had left Exodus with only the clothes on his back. Kurt had used his credit card to buy a first class ticket to Seattle on Delta Flight 788 and that Friday night of April 1st when he boarded his plane he ended up sitting next to none other than Duff Mckagan of the band Guns and Roses Las Two heavyweight bands Nirvana and Guns and Roses had certainly had their falling outs in the past, but Kurt was happy to see Duff tonight and they talked the entire plane ride.

It was just before 2 am on Saturday, April 2 when Kurt arrived back at his house in Seattle. If Kurt slept that morning, it was not for long because around six in the morning he appeared in Cali's room, who is the babysitter on the first floor of the house. Callie was there with her girlfriend Jessica Hopper, so that morning Kurt walked into Cali's room and sat on the end of the bed. Jessica woke up. but no kelly hey skinhead girl kurt sang to jessica imitating the lyrics of a punk song jessica implored kurt call Courtney you have to call Courtney she's freaking out he took a number from a table he handed it to her and watched as kurt dialed the peninsula the Hotel operator announced that Courtney was not taking any calls, this is her husband, he let me in.

Kurt demanded that Kurt had forgotten the code name he needed to communicate with his wife, he kept repeating, this is her husband, but the hotel operator wouldn't let him through. Frustrated, he hung up shortly after Kurt called the gray cab and told the driver that he had recently been mugged and that he needed bullets. They drove downtown but said it was 7.30am. on a Saturday morning. Sporting goods stores were closed. Kurt asked the driver. to take him to 145 and Aurora said he was hungry, Kurt most likely checked into the Crest or Quest motels he had stayed at before they were near one of his distributors that day.

He also went to Seattle and bought a box of 20 gauge gun shells. On the night of Sunday, April 3, Kurt went to his local Mexican restaurant, Cactus Restaurant, he was there with at least two friends who remain unidentified and they ate, the group sat outside and started on dessert. Kurt was in a good mood. He enjoyed his food and the group was planning to go see a movie, they asked the owner for the list of movies and decided I'm going to watch the movie. However, as they were getting ready to leave, Kurt's credit card had been declined.

It was because Courtney had closed all of Kurt's credit cards because she didn't want him to go anywhere, so Kurt had to write a check, however, the staff said that he was really out of this and that it was a job. very hard for him. to write that check, he really had a hard time writing it, his writing was everywhere, but the check canceled and Kurt and his classmates went to see the movie. There are scattered sightings of Kurt on Monday, April 4, however, nothing that can really be corroborated. except for this account, this sighting of kurt on capitol hill in seattle at linda's tavern i saw him come in maybe around 11 or 12 at night and i just said oh hi kurt did you come here for my birthday party and he was just nice? de looked at me and said no, victoria said that kurt didn't seem upset or anything out of the ordinary, he just walked back, she never saw kurt leave again, however, she is credited with being the last person to see kurt. kurt
