Love called police on March 18, 1994, after she and Cobain had a fight. She told officers that Cobain was upset and locked himself in a room by himself with a 38-caliber revolver. She told them he was planning on taking his own life. The police were able to get inside the room and removed the revolver and three other firearms as well as a bottle of pills. Cobain later told authorities that he was not actually planning on killing himself. Still, his behavior led Love, his family, bandmates, and management company to seek the help of professional counselors.
