Did he even try to help himself?

Hey guys,

Is it a fact that he went to the hospital the Wednesday before he was found in the elevator? Is it also a fact that he didn't sleep for 6 days before that? I read that he said a special good bye at the PP party on Saturday - could anyone put it in context?

After he was hospitalized in IL, you'd expect him to have a wake up call and take a little care of himself given his health issues.

I just wonder if he tried to save himself. And I'm going back to his afro - wearing it as he did in 1978 when he released his first album...and I also go back to what Alan Leeds said about him having done everything musically...maybe he realized he'd come full circle...maybe he realized there was nothing left for him to do...I don't know, maybe I am overthinking...but maybe he was okay with it all.

A.

The brother in law himself said he was misquoted on the "up for 6 days" thing. Prince was supposed to be meeting with an addiction specialist the day he was found so obviously he was looking into getting help.

Everything we know, and some other nonsense, is in this thread here: http://prince.org/msg/7/4...&pg=13

.

He went to a hospital when the plane did the emergency landing (Apparently due to a pain killer induced overdose).

He was then booked to see a specialist to help with a problem with pain killers on the day he was found dead.

He had also been to a local Phamacy in the days before.

That's all we know.

.

I wouldn't read too much into anything else. It's all guess work.
