Kurt Cobain’s Ashes Stolen from Courtney Love’s L.A. Home

6/2/08, 9:10 am EST

The remainder of Kurt Cobain’s ashes have been stolen from Courtney Love. Love was storing the ashes in a pink bear-shaped handbag that was hidden in the wardrobe closet of her Hollywood home and believes the bag was taken by a former friend. “I can’t believe anyone would take Kurt’s ashes from me. I find it disgusting and right now I’m suicidal,” Love said. The majority of Cobain’s ashes were spread at a New York Buddhist temple and in Washington’s Wishkah River, but Love said she kept a small amount (as well as a lock of his hair) for herself. This isn’t the first time Love has had something of her husband stolen: In March, Love alleged that thieves used Cobain’s social security number to steal several million dollars from his estate. In both cases, Love believes she knows who is responsible for the theft.

Love don’y deserve any love!!this case is still unclear,no clear proof of Jurt suicide.Kurt’s ashes have been liberated…he always like freedom…as his music

Ummm so basically, i HATE courtney love, i think she or killed kurt, or she had someone else do it, because there was no finger prints on the gun that was used, and there were to many drugs in his system at the time for him even to function, the drugs prolly killed him first anyway. and another thing, one of his credit cards was being used during the 3 days that he had already past, this in itself dosent add up. and she doesnt need anymore attetion than what she already has, and like someone else said be4 she should of kept his ashes somewhere more safe. It sucks that that part of him is gone. R.I.P Kurt may your music live with us forever.

Poor courtney. she may be a freaky drug addict but shes not horrible enough to steal her husbands ashes from. what about francis? poor kid

You know what, you people leave Courtney alone. Whoever stole those ashes is probably some typcial hollywood ass who deserves the worst in this world. Would be glad to assist.

This is a very messed up situation. To start off Courtney should have held his ashes in a safer spot than with her clothes in a closet. Second, his ashes and her daughter diserve a beter home.

I would just like to say who cares how courtney is feeling. This robbery should be a big deal cuz come on its kurt cobains ashes. The robber probably didn’t intent to steal the ashes. How was that person suppose to know where she put them. The robber stoled clothes as well with the ashes. Courtney was stupid to leave the ashes in such a spot. The robber probably didn’t know what he or she had just taken. But the ashes are better off with someone else besides to someone who may have drove kurt to kill himself in the first place. if courtney was the one to have killed herself people would be saying courtney who? She was a hoe or in a hole? Sorry to francis for having such a screwed up mother.

heyoh | 7/13/2008, 12:11 am EST

im glad she lost the ashes, and i hope she never gets them back

peace. love. empathy. | 6/8/2008, 1:31 am EST

makes me wonder if courtney wasnt just high and accidentilly lost them.
hmmm…

Be suspicious of whatever she says. She’s an attention whore.

She knows the press will print whatever she tells them to.

As she herself once said, “all publicity is good publicity.”

Hopefully, this attempt was more “on topic” (since my last post was deleted…odd.)

Mixed Feelings... | 6/5/2008, 12:03 am EST

I am a big Kurt Cobain fan, not so much of a Courtney Love fan. But I just can’t believe that, if this story is true, why someone would steal Kurts’ ashes. That’s just so disrespectful!! However, Courtney does have some problems, and sure, it’s possible that she sold Kurts’ ashes. If so, well, shame on Courtney. I feel soo sorry for Frances.

brian | 6/4/2008, 7:21 pm EST

good riddance too bad rubbish

SVUF | 6/4/2008, 2:06 pm EST

I don’t understand in what would be gain if the person whom stole Kurt Cobain’s ashes? Who will believe the person whom stole the ashes when he/she will try to sell them!?! I thought stealing tailpipes from cars is bad, but one’s ashes!?! I know the world’s economy is in a poor condition, but come on people!! If that is the reason why the ashes were stolen in the first place.

Ramonef | 6/4/2008, 10:36 am EST

kinda hard to choke on something that has been stolen,,,or did you miss that part.

cooper | 6/3/2008, 4:50 pm EST

i hope she chokes on that freaking bear purse and dies.

O. | 6/3/2008, 9:39 am EST

i¡ll give her the benefit of the doubt in this case, no matter how bitchie or what a mess is her life, i can’t believe she made it up or “stole” the ashes herself, its too sick.

I feel sorry for Cobain, this is a lack of respect for him problem, not a courtney teenage’s mind one

Karma | 6/2/2008, 10:01 pm EST

She couldn’t have been too attached if she had those ashes hidden in the back of her CLOSET in a PINK BEAR PURSE.

She needs to quit acting like a spoiled teenager and wake up.

Smiles | 6/2/2008, 8:25 pm EST

I don’t think this is funny at all. I firmly believe that there is a person out there who can judge her or anyone else for their faults. I hope who ever stole this, will pay for their hypocrisy. I feel for Courtney and her daughter. No one deserves to go through this.

As for you people who have judged her and laughed at this tragedy, your arrogance will be paid back to you with other people’s arrogance and you will not receive mercy for your mistakes. Be careful on how you judge others.

oli low | 6/2/2008, 8:22 pm EST

why does anyone care what Courtney Love has to say? She’s never said anything truthful about her life - why would she start now?

jonah | 6/2/2008, 4:27 pm EST

And don’t say “oh, she just needs to get help and be supported”. She’s been to rehab more times than Britney Spears and made a mockery of that as well. At a certain point, you have to logically deduce that certain poeple are beyond rehabilitation. If the legacy of a dead husband and the future of an innocent daughter are not enough to wake you up, you do not deserve the benefit of the doubt.

jonah | 6/2/2008, 4:19 pm EST

I don’t get how people can really feel sorry for Courtney Love… or how they can object to those who loved Kurt Cobain having strong opinions about the mess she has made of her life. It would be different if the “theft” of Cobain’s ashes were just an isolated tragic incident in an otherwise normal person’s life. Courtney love has been defiling Kurt’s grave for nearly 1 1/2 decades now, so when you connect the dots, they form a line (no pun intended) that leads to just another Courtney-ism.

doobie keebler | 6/2/2008, 2:07 pm EST

Oy vey.

Swingline | 6/2/2008, 1:07 pm EST

Why

I’ve had that happen to me a couple of times as well. And like you, when I saw some of the ones kept, I began to wonder que pasa…
Maybe they have a moody 15-year-old moderating.

Why | 6/2/2008, 12:15 pm EST

Earlier today I had written a post about the childish comments written about Courtney. No profane language, kept to the subject matter. And RS deleted it. Why, RS. Read the other posts here, why keep those posts “up”? Are they somehow more relevent (sp?)? Makes one wonder.

TankCat | 6/2/2008, 12:14 pm EST

I’d say the odds are pretty high that Courtney sold the ashes to someone to fund her addictions.

wigga wit' no aptitude | 6/2/2008, 12:02 pm EST

Karma. that’s all i’ve got to say. payback can be a bitch

red-haired goddess | 6/2/2008, 11:45 am EST

Courtney Love does not have to sell Kurt Cobain’s ashes for money, she just recently brokered a deal for 25% of Nirvana’s catalogue for $50 million.

I love how you think there can be no other explanation for what happened to Kurt’s ashes except the one you put forth.

You make it sound as if you were just scouring the house and helping Courtney move furniture to look for the thing.

And now since you and her have looked everywhere and come up with nothing, you are now getting suspicious of her.

But you weren’t scouring the house with her, so how could be so sure of what happened.

You sound ridiculous.

And what pray-tell do you want her to be “put away for good” for? Being a bitch?

Arijit | 6/2/2008, 11:25 am EST

This is beyond disrespect. Love’s pathetic. I can’t believe she would make a transaction of Kurt Cobain’s ashes to score some smack. There’s no other way they just ‘disappeared’, with her known history. She needs to be put away for good.
