Nothing will quell rumours quicker than an offical statement from the family. The world wants to know for many reasons but mainly: closure. Not being forthcoming with facts allows people to spin out and it becomes more and more ghoulish by the moment.

Sheila should not say anything - and saying 'we know whats going on' is fuel, for every speculation.

This is just my theory, but let's assume that he really had a bad case of flu or pneumonia, and it culminated in some sort of coronary event when he returned home that night. If that were true, the family might have a pretty good sense of what happened, but there's a need for toxicology results to come back just to be sure. That would explain why Sheila seems to be hinting about it being a natural death (we know what's going on) but not being able to say that specifically.

Either way, we'll find out eventually, and there's no reason for the family to rush out some speculative cause of death before official results are back.

I was more referring to Sheilas comments - not necessarily expecting the family to comment about the cause of death so soon.

I don't know what to think, just have to wait for news. But there are some odd things as mentioned here. Another is that if you look at his Instagram posts made over the last couple of months, starting and finishing with blank posts, they form his symbol shape. This took a couple of months to make but was completed with his final post.

Wow, didn't even notice that..

If he knew he was dying, wouldn't have left loose ends open.

And would he of had that beautiful Purple guitar made and ordered a bass guitar to be made from the same guy.

Maybe Sheila E was just trying to get the guy to stop asking questions. It all sort of points to a big mistake on Prince's part. He acts and looks young. But pushing a 57 year old body to act like it is a 20 year old body is probably what caused his death in the end. I don't think he knew he was going to die. But I do think he just was having a hard time adjusting to an aging body. And he tried to keep that private.

Considering the April snow in many European countries, I guess he checked the forecast before he went... But seriously, we just can't say whether he knew or not. Every theory that's going round is based on our perception and wishful thinking while searching for answers....

If he knew he was dying why wouldn't he prepare a will? Just seems strange to not get your affairs in order if you knew your time was coming to an end.

If it's true what his brother-in-law said that he was awake for over 150 hours straight, was Prince afraid of dying in his sleep? Not trying to speculate or spread rumors, that's just what comes to my mind as I'm trying to process all this.

I know Prince didn't sleep very much but who can stay awake that long?

There are many reasons why they can't talk about what happened. I don't believe people forgetting how private Prince was about his life. He would not know anyone to know and perhaps we will not ever know. They must have been instructed by someone to say nothing. It cannot be suspicious and that's why she won't talk as they have already said that is not the case.

I had the cold/flu once years ago and I took some over the counter medication that was the wrong kind for my condiditon. I went to bed and woke up with a racing heart beat. I had to go to the hospital for some medicine to countact the reaction and learned I have a real heart condition; so I am glad that it happened to me at all. My point is that if Prince did go to Walgreen for something maybe he just had a bad reaction to the medicine. I was severely dehydrated from the cold and that sparked my heart issue. I would image Prince was dehydrated and exhausted from the flu it created a "perfect storm" situation. Prince was also probably dehydrated from the two shows in Atlanta when he had the emergency on the plane.

Also on how thin some people said Prince was lately, maybe he was depressed from Denise dying a few weeks earlier and was not eating well?

Not sure what to think of this

My mind was wandering, and right or wrong this thought popped in my head: what if the reason he held onto the 'fro hairstyle so long (longer than any other look) was to bookend his musical career looking basically the same. Maybe he knew he was on borrowed time earlier than this year?

Oh, shit...

i just think he knew something was up, and this was his way of telling us, maybe not, but it makes sense to me.

sure to bring a tear to your eye but it makes more sense now than ever

Doesn't though

Any person or object whatsoever
That requires your attention
Is something that has veered
from its path
And preordained destiny
of total enlightenment

I never wanted a typical life
scripted role, huh...trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to b left alone
See my beds made up at night
Cuz in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home

So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
Find my way back home

Most people in this world are born dead
But I was born alive
I was born with this dream
With a dream outside my head
That I could find my way back home
My my way way back home

Is this the way?

Power to the ones, power to the ones
who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if u look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell u about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can u see my way back home
Can u see my way back home

There is a big part of me that says I need to listen to this song since his passing, but I am afraid to.

I cried the first time I listened to it after Prince passed. But the more I listened, the more peace it brought me. I keep listening to see what is being said that I'm missing. But I love that song. AMAZING.

I definitely think he knew.... somehow. He invited Morris, which included Jellybean and Madonna to Paisley. Seems like he was making amends.

Also, I've never been a conspiracy theorist, but so many weird coincidences - the number 7, the elevator, did anyone see what it said Prince was up to 20 years ago on 4/21 in the book "The Vault?"

What a bunch of deluded nutcases.

Y'all should be ashamed of yourselves.

"Somehow he knew"... That's pathetic. And yet there you are counting the signs...

What are you, thirteen year old girls?

I hate to be like this in such hard times, but this thread is an insult to the person he was.

To all the conspiracy theorists and the usual JWs, in the words of Mary Sharon, surely the Org would breathe a little better without your polluting presence (with chemtrails or whatever nonsense).

That said, you may proceed with your lunacies.
If that's your way to grieve, suit yourselves.
