Even in death, a bizarre twist

According to reports, Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's ashes have been stolen from the Hollywood home of his widow Courtney Love. A distraught Love describes herself as "suicidal."

"I can't believe anyone would take Kurt's ashes from me," says Love. "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."

Love had kept the Cobain's ashes in a pink teddy-bear-shaped bag along with a lock of his hair. But a couple of weeks ago, she was horrified to discover them gone, along with thousands of dollars worth of clothes and jewelry.

"If I don't get them back I don't know what I'll do," Love says of her husband's remains. "I used to take them everywhere with me just so I could feel Kurt was still with me. Now it feels like I have lost him all over again."

Kurt Cobain committed suicide 14 years ago at his Seattle home.

"I used to take them everywhere with me..." - unlike when he was alive when she left him on his own knowing he was prone to suicidial bouts of depression.
And it all happened just as her new album was about to be released - what a coincidence!
