Soaked in Bleach Page #4

This stomach pain that he'd

been suffering for years

Was so severe that it made

him wanna kill himself.

He did talk like that,

there's no question,

And once that was

diagnosed, it was treated,

And the pain went away.

How's your stomach?

Have you found anything to...

It's gone.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I finally have been prescribed

the right stomach medicine

After six years of being

in constant pain, finally.

I haven't had a stomach

problem for over a year now.

The stomach pain and the

outlook and his disposition

Seem to be very closely linked.

He had given an interview

to Rolling Stone,

Where he said he was

happier than he'd ever been.

Is this your idea?

When you hear Courtney

spinning this whole

Elaborate timeline about how

he tried to commit suicide

Before and he was talking about suicide

To everybody he knew, that

just seems to be fiction.

Rather chillingly, Love

says that three of Cobain's

Uncles had also committed suicide.

She calls it the Cobain curse.

As far as the suicide

history in the Cobain family,

Leland Cobain's father,

he was a Monte Santo

Police officer, and he

went into a bar one day

And he sat at a bar stool.

This was back in 1938.

His gun somehow dislodged

from its holster,

Hit the ground, and

according to the report,

He looked around in the

bar and asked if everybody

Was okay, and then

immediately collapsed.

He just fell dead.

From what Leland has

told me about his brother,

His brother was drinking

and he fell down a staircase

And died from complications of that.

Neither Kurt's great-grandpa

Or his great-uncle were suicides.

One of the important

elements in the case,

And in convincing the

world that it was suicide

Was the so-called

"Rome suicide attempt. "

Nirvana front-man Kurt Cobain,

Who slipped into a coma

and was hospitalized

In Rome, Italy, at about 6AM

this morning, was in a state

Of what his management

calls "complete collapse. "

His condition was apparently aggravated

When he consumed champagne on top of a

Prescription painkiller called Rohypnol.

At the time, the word

suicide was never used

By the media, by Courtney, by Kurt.

It was portrayed as an

accidental drug overdose.

He recovered from the

coma, and his publicists

Said the incident was an

accident, not a suicide attempt.

As soon as Kurt died, first

interviews that Courtney gave

She started talking about

previous suicide attempts,

Rome was a suicide attempt.

Courtney started telling people

That Kurt had swallowed 60 pills.

You swallow 60 pills,

that's not an accident.

That's a suicide attempt.

So we decided to contact

the doctor that treated Kurt

In Rome, Doctor Galletta,

and he categorically denied

That there were 60 pills in his stomach

And that it was a suicide attempt.

At the time, Kurt and

Courtney both said it was

An accident, and the

doctor confirmed that.

So there's just no evidence

that he had ever tried

To kill himself before.

No anecdotal evidence,

nobody else close to Kurt

Ever said that he

tried to commit suicide,

But the world just took

Courtney's word for it.

While I was in Seattle with

Dylan and we were driving

Around, I mentioned to

him that Courtney said

That Kurt only stays in the best hotels,

And he was almost incredulous.

He practically laughed and he said,

"That's ridiculous!"

"He hates fancy hotels, he

stays in really cheap places,"

"Mostly along the Aurora strip. "

Have you seen him or not?

Okay, come on.

I'm gonna call Courtney and check in.

I dunno what's goin' on.

Dylan told me that when they

did stay at those motels,

They usually stayed

for two or three weeks,

Basically living off of

Coca Cola and potato chips

And doing their heroin.

Courtney always wanted

to go through Dylan,

She wanted to talk to Dylan on the phone

And have Dylan give me the instructions.

Courtney's had some trouble,

she was in the hospital

And she got arrested.

What?

She said that it was all a

big mistake and she's fine.

She wants us to go back

to the house and look

For the shotgun again.

She thinks it might be

in the hidden compartment

Of the bedroom closet.

Hidden compartment?

She hadn't mentioned that to us before,

But she said, "That's where

Kurt keeps the shotgun",

"So if it's there, that's

where it's gonna be. "

Let's go.

Remember this from last night?

No.

The note that was

apparently written by Cali

Didn't make sense.

"Kurt, I can't believe you

managed to be in this house"

"Without me noticing. "

"You're a f***ing a**hole

for not calling Courtney"

"And at least letting her

know that you're okay. "

"She's in a lot of pain,

Kurt, and this morning"

"She had another

accident, and now she's"

"In the hospital again. "

We looked in that little

hidden compartment.

There was no shotgun there.

"She's your wife, she loves you,"

"And you have a child together. "

"Get it together to at

least tell her you're okay,"

"Or she is going to die. "

"It's not fair, man. "

"Do something now. "

Later when I talked to

Rosemary Carroll about it

And I told her I was suspicious of it,

She jumped in right away, and

she knows Cali real well, too.

Dylan and I headed out

to the town of Carnation,

Just outside of Seattle.

Kurt and Courtney

owned two cabins there,

And we were curious to see

if there had been any evidence

Of Kurt being there.

We got about halfway there

when we stopped to get gas,

And Dylan made another phone call.

I got a phone call from our electrician,

Gary Smith, and he was

doing some security lighting.

We had a house above.

We just knew it was a

rock star in Seattle,

We weren't sure, didn't know who he was.

He literally just stumbled across it.

He looked through a

doorway, a glass door,

A locked door, and he saw a body.

And he said, "I think he shot himself. "

I called a radio station,

told 'em what happened.

So I answered the call and there's a guy

On the end of the line,

and he's goin', "I have got"

"Some incredible news here. "

Anything?

A friend of mine said he

just heard they found a body

At Kurt's house.

What?

Rock group Nirvana is dead.

An electrician discovered Cobain's body

In the singer's Lake

Washington home this morning.

The electrician tells KOMO

news that emergency crews

Told him that the dead

man is Kurt Cobain.

When I heard that the body was found

In a room that was called

the Greenhouse, I turned

To Dylan and I said,

"What's the Greenhouse?"

And he said, "It's just

a dirty little room"

"Above the garage. "

They stored lumber

or something in there.

It sounded to me like this was just

Some kinda broom closet or something.

So do you think he intentionally

Did not tell you to check that room out?

Again, I hope the listeners bear in mind

We're having to skip over

an awful lotta stuff...

I glanced down on the floor and I saw

Something that looked like a mannequin.

I can see blood in

this ear, and long hair,

And immediately got a little shaken.
