During Courtney Love's pregnancy with Frances, there were rumors suggesting that Courtney used heroin. This scandal intensified when Vanity Fair published Lynn Hirschberg's article "Strange Love" that alleged Love admitted to taking heroin even after learning of her pregnancy. The response to this article caused serious damage to Love's public standing, and many parenting groups called for Frances to be removed from her parents' custody immediately after birth. Along with Cobain, Love maintained that Vanity Fair took her words out of context. This continued after her birth, with tabloid reporters wanting to know if Frances was born addicted to drugs. The notoriety of the article resulted in child welfare services launching an investigation into the couple's ability to parent. The investigation was eventually dismissed, but not without a significant amount of legal wrangling and two-week-old Frances being removed from her parents' custody for a short time and placed into the care of Love's sister. Tool front man Maynard James Keenan wore a T-shirt which read "Free Frances Bean" in reference to the situation.[7] While her mother was filming The People Vs. Larry Flynt in Memphis, TN, Frances and Victoria Burge attended The Maria Montessori School together for a short time. April 1, 1994 was the last time Frances saw her father alive while visiting him at Exodus Recovery Center, the L.A. rehab clinic he had entered the previous day.[8] The two of them played, and Kurt sang to her. Four days later Cobain was found dead in his home, allegedly having committed suicide by a shotgun wound to the head, on the morning of April 5, 1994.
