Courtney Love Loses What’s Left Of Kurt
Love believes a former friend is responsible for swiping Kurt’s remains, which were stored in a pink bear-shaped handbag and hidden in a wardrobe at her Hollywood home.
She now claims to be suicidal as a result of the theft: “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal. If I don’t get them back I don’t know what I’ll do.”
Most of Cobain’s ashes were originally scattered at a New York Buddhist temple and in the Wishkah river in Washington state. However, Love says she kept some for herself, hidden away in a location that was a closely guarded secret until now.
“They were all I had left of him,” Love said to the News of the World. “Who has their husband’s ashes stolen?”
They wanted to be at a Buddhist temple, Courtney! Not sitting around in a teddy bear in your wardrobe, listening to you scream at people for almost fifteen years. Maybe they got up and left.
