If this was an attempt to murder Kurt, and Kurt survived, what on earth could Kurt be thinking and feeling? Shocked, confused, scared? Probably not even remembering exactly what had transpired.

He did try to leave Courtney, after his return to Seattle. He certainly contacted his lawyer Rosemary Carroll asking her to write a new Will, excluding Courtney. He kept several guns for his protection, until the police confiscated them on March 18th.

The friction within their relationship escalated to intolerable levels in the days proceeding Rome. Why?

If it was just a tiff, as Courtney claimed, well that's no big deal.

If it was a suicide attempt, and Courtney was concerned, she would have told friends, to ensure they kept an eye on him, she didn't do this.

Instead Courtney hounded Kurt (see nanny interview . And police report for March 18th 1994 )

Why did he return to Seattle and remain under the same roof as Courtney? There are witnesses to support the fact Kurt was trying to leave. Once again, see the Broomfield/Nanny interview, the March 18th police report, and the Peter Cleary statement .

But why didn't he just physically walk?

He'd just come out of a coma, he had been ill and exhausted even before that happened. I don't know. Maybe he still hadn't yet gained complete memory of what happened in Rome.

"The last image I have of him, which in the light of the tragedy now seems pathetic, is of a young man playing with the little girl (Frances). He did not seem like a young man who wanted to end it all." Dr. Galletta, the doctor who treated Kurt in Rome.
