"According to the Star Tribune, Dr. Howard Kornfeld received a call from Prince’s reps on April 20th, in light of the artist “dealing with a grave medical emergency.” Kornfeld dispatched his son, Andrew, to take an initial meeting with Prince at his Minnesota home the following day, while the elder Kornfeld made plans to arrive from California on the 22nd.

Andrew arrived at Prince’s residence at 9:30 a.m., but neither he nor the artist’s representatives were able to locate him. The paper reports that Prince’s body was found in an elevator shortly thereafter, and that it was Kornfeld himself who called 911."

Thankfully Andrew Kornfeld had the wherewithal to call 911, and that the operator was able to locate the address that he didn't know. If only Prince had gotten the help sooner. Peace.

Your last sentence goes along with seems like many things should have been done differently after the plane stop in Moline, Ill. Like not trying to have that Paisley gathering 2 days after the plane stop, etc. etc. but who knows if that would made a difference.?

This is groundbreaking. It tells us that not only did Prince know he was gravely ill, but that those around him knew as well and STILL CHOSE TO LEAVE HIM ALONE!! Are you fucking kidding me? You would think that a doctor would have handled a fucking 911 phone call a lot better. The more details. The more absurd. Lastly, WHAT WAS HIS GRAVE ILLNESS??? [Edited 5/3/16 22:58pm]

I think the "grave medical emergency" is meant grave(serious)medical emergency. I don't think it

implies a pre-existing illness.

How very sad if true. Such a waste. I hope it will help highlight the serious problem of prescribed medication. The war of drugs need to start at home...

Actually, this is the first thread about it

No it's not. The other thread was made at 9:39

And we have a sticky made several days ago.

It isn't about you and what you give a fuck about. These threads will be locked and you'll end up on first thread anyway. Belligerence is no substitute for common sense.

this new story has me very sad and very angry. just having a good cry now. he knew he needed help. why couldnt Prince fly out there?

why couldnt he call someone that night to come be with him?

and he STILL could have hid it from most. Was Kirk Johnson on that plane back from Atlanta?

anyway, so very angry and sad right now.

please give them a break. we are all still mourning and this news has some doing it all over again.

Ah. I see the Star Tribune story now and not the msn.com. it sounds like it was friends or family who contacted the California doctor. I'm betting Kirk. i hope so.
