I was visiting family in the hospital who were stricken, and some nurves--who received the flu and Pneumonia shots---missed a week of work--and checked -in to the hosiptal themselves!

Pneumonia is a bacterium that attacks your immune system --if it is weakend by a virus..any virus, taking too many steriods, and other durgs that may weakend your immune system...

Also, most AMericans never eallow their skin to the sun unitl they do some yard-wor, or are at teh beach = No Vitamin D.

From the Home - the garage - to the car - to teh parking deck - to the indoors..somewhere. (Job, School, Store, or concert).

Another reason the AIDS possibility seems unlikely is why the toxicology reports, why the Percocept story. If Prince had HIV or full blow AIDS, and I'm sure Prince's doctors and medical records are being examined right now, what is going to take four weeks to figure out exactly? If Prince was as sick as sites are claiming, and his medical records indicate a severe illness, isn't this an open and shut case. Is the speculation that he died of AIDS related complication AND a freaking overdose too. The Enquirer is putting it out there because it will sell like hotcakes and Prince's legal team is in question right now. I'm sure the article will not have specifics because how could it. Meanwhile there is toxicology tests in an effort to see if he had anything in his system. So either Prince was taking pain killers or he had AIDS? What the hell was he doing at WalGreens the night before? Had he stopped taking medication because he thought his HIV was cured and then it developed into full blown AIDS and now he thought "Hey I'll go to Wal-Greens" the night before? What the HELL was he getting at Wal-Greens, what was he pacing back and forth to get? It doesn't matter how Prince died, I hate that he's dead, but the two theories are contradictory.

He was the skinniest, smallest, lightest pop star before AIDS was doing the rounds. And he stayed that way. He died, so anything *is* possible, but the evidence being used is total BS. Yes, at the end he looked near weightless and frail. But for nearly 40 years before that he looked near weightless and physically capable of just about anything. He could kick like Van Damme, he could walk on his hands... And that 'last photo' the Enquirer are shovelling is about five years old. I hope Tyka sues these people where they live.

Rosanne Barr sued them....

I hope Tyka and the family gets them...

Magic Johnson vomitted a lot during trainign camp..

These new InFluenzas are stronger....

I've been to the hospital recently, and it is a silent epidemic..

I talked to one nurse, and she admitted that she had to rest for a week, and another was sneezing around us..

If its true, its true.... I doubt it.

Fucking National Enquirer thinks that every celebrity has Aids. They did a similar story about Bowie a few months ago.

I seem to remeber them peddling some hideous lies about Prince and his late son Gregory at one time. Let's not give these trolls any more attention.

I'm kind of surprised no one tried to get P's info from Walgreens and sell it.

One word (abbreviation really)...HIPAA. Sever consequences for violating that...

However, it is tragic, if he did stop taking his meds because of his "religious" beliefs that he was "cured."

I don't see any reason to believe the AIDS rumours yet. Or even the FLU story, because he didn't seem like The Percocet and Cocaine allegations at least had a name attached (Duane's attorney). It looks like TMZ has confirmed their Airplane overdose story though with a report from the Fire Dept.

1. If it turns Prince was HIV+, it shouldn't be treated as something shameful. Living people with HIV depend on the public taking an informed view.

2. You don't die of AIDS itself all of a sudden, but obviously it can make other diseases far more devastating if your immune system is almost gone.

3. The more I read about the possible causes, the more I believe it was a combination of factors that killed him: some underlying illness, the actual flu, mismanaged pain medications, overworking himself. Yet this is just a hunch and we'll have to wait and see.

One thing is almost for certain: Prince died of confidence. That night, it was definitely overconfidence.

Co-sign, agree with what you said.

And...if he really had AIDS and wasn´t taking his medicine, wouldn´t it be visible before it reaches its final stage? He looked pretty normal for his age. In fact, he looked like he was in his early 40s.

Maybe overthinking everything. I think it's quite possible...plausible actually that it was a simple accidental OD of pain mediciation relating to his hip issues. Very possible that it was a repeat of the emergency landing response, only this time it occured without anyone to react to it. He most likely would have died on the plane initially had he not had people there to intervene (if that story is true, of course). Most likely was saved then, but a few days later events occured a second time while he was at home alone. Again, very possible IMO. Don't believe at all he was purposely abusing anything though. He just took too much legal medication unknowingly and died as a result. As tragic and heartbreaking as that is to type, it is a distinct possibility.

Thoughts?

The question is, does HIPPA still hold weight after someones death? I dont know the answer

rainbowchild said:

Actually he looked really frail in the last photos he was shot, even when he appeared on TV in recent months, he didn't look well.

lust said:

Ok so, so far Prince..... Died from a heroine overdose A Percocet overdose due to a dodgy hip commited suicide Died of AIDS Died from the flu Was raptured by God to bring about the end of days Murdered by the illuminati Murdered by a doctor And my personal fave, murdered by "the Jews" so they can get rich of his album sales. For fucks sake. Oh almost forgot that the antivaxxers popped up too to say the flu shot killed him. [Edited 4/27/16 15:07pm]

You left out that Jay-Z got him killed so he could make more money with TIDAL.

You also left out that he talked about chemtrails so much that he was taken out.

(I´m not kidding....sadly, this is what some conspiracy theorists have been discussing on the internet.)

Same thing happened to my childhood friend, singer, Gerald Levert, came off tour , went home , was tired, sick, and took, xanax, percocet , and ambien and vicodin,,,died in his sleep

And he looked so young for years, partly by wearing make-up. The afro (wig?) and three-eyed glasses covered a lot of his face too. He looked tired and very thin at the Grammys, when he presented the award to Beck.

We all look tired some days. And, despite his relatively young looks, he was pushing 60.

Considering that, he looked remarkable.

If that was a wig he wouldn´t have insisted on it being his real hair when he mentioned it during his interview with Jon Bream.

Yes. HIPAA still applies for 50 years after date of decedent's death...

Honestly,I agree and i held off saying it but,he looked really different the last few years.And saying he isn't having sex anymore?!!! But,anyway i hope that isn't true.But,i will say most of us thought he had a will.Maybe we are all a little blind but,we can also say we choose not to believe it til and if its a fact.Back in the 80's dr's had to report people with hiv/aids to the cdc is that still true today?

Well, percocet DOES have acetominophen in it -- which is just Tylenol -- and there are plenty of warnings regarding Tylenol causing liver issues. People die from Tylenol alone on a regular basis because, with it being OTC, they don't realize how dangerous large amounts can be. And, a lot of people don't even realize percocet contains Tylenol, so they'll take regular Tylenol as well, which can be a recipe for disaster. Prince may have been a genius, but he wasn't a medical professional and unless somebody made it clear to him, he could very well not have known this; I've had percocet prescribed to me and wouldn't have known this if I hadn't looked at the label closely.
