One of the more factually based articles about Prince's last days

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/29/prince-final-days-death-percocet

A very sad read...

I have to say that this feels like very thorough reporting. Of course I'm not a fan of the insinuation that Prince used cocaine because it made him a better performer, but I think the article was really attempting to include every possible nugget of informtion that's come out in the last week in some attempt to piece things together. I also didn't care for the way the article editorializes everything at the end by saying "his greatness must sit now alongside a msierable, untimely end." It's certainly untimely. I suppose if I'm being honest, it's also miserable. But that's not the job of an objective news writer to decide. Having said this, I felt after reading this like it probably comes the closest to seeming like a believable version of what might have happened.
