I often wonder if Prince just own a cellphone, could his life been saved? I'm license in 1st aid & cpr/aed. I don't know what happened but those crucial seconds count. The touch of 1 button could dial 911 and his address information would automatically appear to the emergency respondents. "I don't know".

Some kinds of health emergencies can kill you before you even think to call. We don't know what he died of, so it's very possible that one of those emergencies did it.

Cell phones don't unfortunately show your address. You'd have to advise of your location. Land lines do though, but not cell phones. That's why if you remember on the initial 911 call the doctors son made, he had to get them the address because it didn't show from a cell phone call...

That's not entirely true. They can tell the general vicinity of a 911 call from a cellphone (not down to the house, but down to the street). However, if it's on wifi, they can get even more specific.
