The hotel where Cobain overdosed in Rome
A month before his suicide, Cobain overdosed on Rohypnol at the Westin Excelsior hotel in Rome. Although his management agency claimed that the overdose was accidental, Love later admitted that it was a suicide attempt.
The Nirvana frontman had taken 50 pills in total.
Love said that he "hated everyone and everything" at the time.
That morning, she woke up at around 4 a.m. and saw that he was "gone." Cobain had written a note claiming that she didn't love him anymore and that he would rather die than go through a divorce.
Five days later, he was released from the hospital. Shortly afterwards, he returned to the United States and entered rehab.
Seattle Guns
On April 2nd, 1994, Cobain hired a cab from a company called Gray Top Taxi.
Notably, the driver, Wodajo Abeye, did not know who he was. While he was picking him up, he thought to himself that the person did not "match" the residence.
In other words, Cobain, with his grunge fashion style, did not look like the type of person who owned a million-dollar property.
That day, Abeye dropped the singer off just south of Aurora Avenue and 145th Street. Shortly afterwards, he purchased a bag of shotgun shells at a store called Seattle Guns.
Stan Baker Sports
This is the location where the shotgun was purchased.
At the time, it was called Stan Baker Sports, and it was situated at 10000 Lake City Way NE.
The Exodus Recovery Center
On March 31st, 1994, Cobain escaped from this rehab center in Los Angeles.
We have highlighted the wall that he allegedly jumped over in red.
At the time, it was known as the Exodus Recovery Center. Nowadays, it is called the Cedars-Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital.
Memorial park
A public green space called Viretta Park is situated on the southern side of the property.
Nirvana fans have turned the park into a makeshift memorial site for Cobain.
The park bench has become a mural of sorts, with people leaving behind flowers, cigarettes, and handwritten notes.
