It was March 3, 1994, Kurt Cobain flew to Rome in order to see his family They stayed at the luxurious Excelsior hotel. The people present were Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, their infant daughter Frances Bean Cobain, and the male nanny, Michael DeWitt.
A few hours before Courtney arrived at the hotel she gave an interview to Select magazine. During the interview Courtney Love brought out a box of rohypnol and placed it on the table in front of the journalist. She then popped several of the pills. Rohypnol is considered a "date rape drug" as side effects from ingestion include incapacitation and anterograde amnesia. The prescription was in Courtney's name.
On March 4, 1994, at circa 6:30 AM, Courtney calls the front desk and asks for an ambulance, claiming that Kurt is unresponsive. According to Courtney Love, she awoke to find Kurt slumped over at a table, with a note and a wad of cash in his hands. Kurt's nose was bleeding. There is some discrepancy as to what time Courtney Love found Kurt unresponsive. Courtney may not have called for the ambulance until 30 minutes after finding Kurt or as long as an hour after finding Kurt, depending upon what story from Courtney one chooses to believe.
Kurt Cobain is rushed to the Umberto I Polyclinic Hospital. CNN incorrectly reports that Kurt Cobain has died. In reality Kurt Cobain is in a deep coma. Courtney later has him transferred, against the advice of the doctor, to the American Hospital. Courtney would later tell the media that the doctors pumped 50 pills from Kurt's stomach. According to Dr. Osvaldo Galletta this is not true, that Kurt's stomach was not pumped and that there was no way to determine how many pills Kurt ingested. Kurt finally recovers and is released from the hospital.
At the time everyone involved, including Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, and the doctors, claimed it was an accident. According to Dr. Osvaldo Galletta, it was an accidental overdose.
Yet after Kurt's Death Courtney would claim that the Rome incident was a failed suicide attempt. And that that was proof that Kurt was suicidal before and wanted to kill himself. Courtney claims that the note Kurt wrote in Rome was a suicide note and gives it to the Seatle PD to be used as a copy of Kurt's handwriting to compare it to the suicide note as we all know. For the investigation of the Kurt Cobain Murder Courtney admits that the Rome note mentions that Kurt wanted to leave her. Courtney claims that she was told by Sgt Cameron who was the lead detective of the Kurt Cobain Death investigation, That the Rome note would cause her problems and that she should get rid of it. Courtney love has admitted that she burned the Rome note.
The great mysery is that someone tipped of the media as they were present to photograph Kurt being placed into the ambulance. Yet the identity of the person remains unknown. But some speculate that it was Courtney herself who called the media to tip them off.
