‘On March 12th Seattle police were dispatched to the Lake Washington house after someone called 911 but hung up. Courtney answered the door, apologised for the call, and explained there had been a fight but it was now under control. Kurt told the officer, “There was a lot of stress” in his marriage.’

Grant - "Rosemary told me that, shortly before Kurt died, he asked her to draw up a will excluding Courtney because he said they were getting a divorce. At around the same time, she said Courtney called her up and told her to find 'the meanest, most vicious divorce lawyer' she could find and asked whether it was possible to void the prenuptial agreement." - "In fact, after Kurt's death, it was revealed that there was a will but that Kurt had not yet signed it. Therefore it was invalid. Police have refused to reveal the contents of the unsigned will or whether Courtney was indeed excluded." - (WKKC?, p.156) [Coincidentally Eric Erlandson was also included in this inital will.]

March 18th and again Seattle police were summoned to the residence by Courtney, claiming Kurt was suicidal. Police arrived and after speaking with Kurt he informed them he was not attempting to harm himself, but just distancing himself from the situation with Courtney. After further discussion Courtney retracted her claim that Kurt had threatened suicide. Even so, this event was still proliferated as suicidal tendencies after Kurt's death.

According to Heavier Than Heaven, post Rome after being prompted by Geffen; Danny Goldberg contacted Steve Chatoff a drug intervention counsellor of Steps recover center, Port Hueneme, Californa, and there was a planned intervention for March 21st. It ultimately failed after Krist reportedly tipped Kurt off before the parties involved were assembled.

"It was such a difficult time that I think people exaggerated and blamed his drug use when they weren't getting what they wanted from him." - (Heavier Than Heaven, p.315)

"He felt that he had no habit,'' Carlson said. "That was more like what management wanted him to do.'' (Seattle Post-Intelligencer, April 15th, 1994)

"He was worth millions to the label and they couldn't afford to lose him "If that sounds cynical" says one Geffen source "you don't know the music business. They couldn't have cared less about his well-being, except as it affected their bottom line"" - (WKKC?, p.117)

March 22nd, Kurt and Courtney took a cab to the 'American Dream' car lot. Cab driver Leon Hassan described how the couple quarrelled over the issue of a Lexus purchased in January where by Kurt forced Courtney to return it. Kurt decides over Courtney's objections to buy a 1965, sky blue, Dodge Dart for $2,500; this car was found only two weeks later brandishing a for sale sign.

March 25th saw another "intervention", after Kurt refused to go through Chatoff's program... Courtney apparently slashed the tires on the Volvo and Dart in an attempt to prevent Kurt from fleeing (Heavier than Heaven). The volvo was noted as being "parked in the double garage. All four tires of the vehicle are flat." Note; the Dart was recovered without flat tyres.

"A true intervention has nothing to do with victimizing the junkie…I mean saving a life by direct involvement in an immediate medical and psychological crisis for as long as it takes. I do not mean engaging in a self-serving two hour 'confrontation.'" - (Beyond Nirvana, p.358)

It was a closed circle, the pro-suicidal faction had far more money, power and access, Kurt's soapbox was being removed. Everyone had their own agenda; "Each speaker ended with a threat, the consequence Kurt could expect if he didn't acquiesce. Danny, John and Janet said they'd no longer work with him; Gary Gersh said Geffen would drop Nirvana; Pat Smear said Nirvana would break up; and Courtney said she would divorce him [along with the threat of restricted access to Frances]. Kurt was silent during these warnings: He had already anticipated these endings, and in every instance he had already hazarded to sever these unions himself" - (Heavier than Heaven, p.321) - Interesting, the claim that Pavitt and Poneman of Sub Pop Records were present, seeing as they had a vested interest in Kurt abiding with the Geffen label; they had a contract entitling them to a percentage of sales.

"Kurt agreed he would goto Daniel X. Freeman Clinic [Exodus] in Marina Del Rey, knowing full well he could just walk off from the place like he did in 1992. He wanted freedom of movement above all. He had learnt a few tricks from the 'Art of War'; Never imprison yourself." - (Beyond Nirvana, p.340)
'I feel like I'm performing in a circus.' - Kurt

Courtney then left Seattle to reside in LA, apparently undergoing her own detox. But, "Kurt had the next move and it was brilliant. he had no intention of going to LAX that evening." - For whatever reason, maybe the stakes were heightened or buying time, Kurt did eventually leave for rehab.

"You are making it easy for a lot of these people that you want to stop controlling your life to paint a completely negative picture of you; for them to essentially maintain control, because of the drug issue. If you go do the treatment thing, you give them one less arrow in their quiver, you radically diminish their ammunition... It will make solving these problems easier when you get out. It will give us a basis to stand on." – Rosemary Carroll - (Heavier than Heaven p.324)

-Kurt’s very reasoning for entering rehab could have been to prove his competency, while all the time Courtney is the one trying to denounce it according to Grant.

March 26th, Kurt makes a phone call to his grandmother, Iris Cobain, making a date to go fishing with his grandfather the following week.

"Kurt was facing lots of pretty heavy things, but he was actually pretty upbeat," Carlson said. "He was prepared to deal with things facing him." - "Kurt just wanted to make music, and he didn't want to do the grind." - Dylan Carlson (Seattle Post Intelligencer, April 15th, 1994.)
