This will not work. It is a weak attempt to seek closure in grief. It will not provide closure. It does not matter what the cause was. It is up to each person to find acceptance within themselves. No amount of information, nor no one else can do that for you.

If / when information is provided, you may think you will feel better or will find closure. You will not. You will have more questions, and continue to seek closure, continuing the carasoul of the stages of grief.

The only way to make the pain go away is to accept and understand there is nothing you can do about P's death.

Isn't questioning a part of human nature (and life) though? "dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum"

Today I saw a copy of the new Ebony magazine in which they included an interview that Prince specifically told them he did not want it published. But they said fuck it and went ahead and published it anyway. I guess my point is nobody has a right to any of his stuff in my opinion. And we also don't have a right to know how he died. It's June. He's dead. Try to move on.

Speak for yourself slakk.

I already accept and understand there is nothing I can do about P's passing.

It may not matter what the cause was to you.

But for me, it does.

It matters to me because it will provide answers, not more questions.

It matters to me because it will help provide closure for me.

It's not going to change how I view Prince.

I can accept whatever it was that led to his untimely passing.

But I completely disagree with you.

I will have less questions and will be able to complete my grieving knowing how and what he died from.

It appears to me you don't want to know why or how he died.

I respect that.

But please don't try to tell me what I will feel if the honest truth was revealed.

Quite the contrary, I would respect his family even more so for not being afraid of judgment, whatever the cause may be.

Again, this thread wasn't made to offend.

Thank you for your reply!

When did I ever demand the full, complete details Raspberry Kitten?

When did I ever say I had a right to the full, complete details Dustoff?

When did I ever say I was owed the full, complete details Genesia, MoMetta Bliss and AnnaStesia91?

When did I ever say I deserved the full, complete details DarkNight1?

This thread isn’t about what is right or what is wrong.

This thread is not about Prince and his family owing us anything, let alone the details of his death.

This thread is not about what is deserved.

This thread is not a demand.

This is a petition.

A petition is a written request, typically signed by many people, appealing to authority with respect to a particular cause.

Again, this is a petition (a respectful request signed by many people) appealing to Prince’s family (authority) for the truth about Prince’s death (the particular cause) including the toxicology report and the autopsy report.

I would like to know because the story as it stands makes literally no sense. The parts that would make leaving someone alone to die in a house with the same meds he nearly died from 3 nights previously are probably the parts we will never find out. So it's just blatant curiosity that makes me want to know, I admit it. No one owes me a thing...

If I die alone in a house, I hope SOMEBODY cares enough about me to find out: WHY?!?

RIP Prince. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you so much.

You didn't, and I never said you did. I was responding to someone else who said that, though (which, since I quoted them directly, should have been obvious).

We have debated many, many ideas - and we only have a vague idea of what happened to Prince. It is possible that we are completely wrong. I am not trying to be intrusive. And I respect what his family is going through. But, because of my respect for Prince, I want to make sure that somebody didn't "knock him off", or something else like that.

I believe that Prince would help someone else in his situation, if possible. Although his death is terrible, at least let's not let him die in vain.

RIP Prince. We will NEVER forget you. Thank you so much.

"....want, want, want...."

Its like people grabbing at the box giveaways at the death scene.

Its never enough, is it? Bragging about, "I got 2!!"

Believe me, there's no need for a "petition" to know loads of people "want more".

You'd think no one's ever seen a terminally ill person in their last days before, cripes.

I want to know the Truth too. He was like my real father to me as well.

I'm a Child of Divorce.

Prince and MJ were my surrogates....

My daddypops!

Yes please I want the Truth too, only as long as it doesn't harm Prince if he is still alive and wanted to retire like Sly. I respect his privacy and don't want to harm that.

Why stay around now to be persecuted at some point in all this ugliness like Bill Cosby.

I would understand if he wanted out before the tabloid trash found out he owns anything and wants to make his life a living hell. Why stay around for that @@@@!

It seems like if any black talent owns his own masters or properties they are targeted!

I guess like on Chaos & Dissorder they "dig u better dead"!

I love u Prince and I respect your privacy, but if you are gone from this evil world then I just need to know that you were not murdered like MJ! and that your estate is not stolen by WB!

I would like to think that you learned 7 years ago.... witnessing what happend to MJ the prevoius decade and through your bad dealings with Branca law firm & Cavallo Rafallo & Fargnoli, and your friendship with Londel McMillan who represented Katherine Jackson you decided to get the hell out before things get really nasty towards you. Why grow old his this music business now, when you just become the next target for witch hunts! Where-ever Prince is, I hope he is sippin' on pina coladas and having some FUN!

We have some really nasty evil people on this forum.


Prince always believed in Truth.

So just give up in death to have his back!

What if he was murdered?

You say give up and let them get away with it?

He meant more to me than that obviously.

Well this sounded like a demand to me:

I want to know everything!



I did try to be respectful in my earlier post. I just disagree. I don't want to be lied to, I would like the truth but I really think we should wait and see what happens - and trust those who knew him to make decisions based on what he would have wanted. You stated in an earlier post that you are a physician. Is this true and, if so, why would you believe we won't be told the truth, or be able to summize it from the report?

The reasons for his death shouldnt be revealed because the fans need closure. But the reasons should be revealed to put a stop to bullshit rumours and tabloid crap that will be the last thing in peoples minds once this whole story goes away. So, lets get the results, get everyone on the same page and let Prince have his dignity back so dinner party conversations in the future wont be full of bullshit whenever Prince is discussed.

And from a personal point of view, as the "authority on Prince" to my friends, it will stop them asking me "what happened", or "I heard such and such", every fucking time they see me. smile

I think we need to accept that even if we want to know and we feel we should, it's still actually not our business how he died. It's just not. He gave us so much in life, if he maintains his privacy in death that's okay for me.


I thought the same too and someone really blasted me for that. They said he was a public figure. He sold out stadiums and we bought his music, listened to him , he sold himself to us and that means we do have a right to know. You cannot make millions from us as he has done and then expect us not to know anything about his life and what happned.



I am in two minds about it all.



He gave us his music that's what was paid for not his life. He isn't chattel.

With that said, I want to know because I'd want to know about anyone I care about but if not I'll figure out my own closure and that will be that.

Completely inappropriate, unhealthy, entitled, pointless and premature thread.

You don't even know if they'll release details or not.

And if they don't, no it's not your god given right to know.

Least of all to subject the family to a dumb, Stan-ish petition.

If you gotta obsess, obsess over the music and leave the family alone.

Agree. Revealing the cause of death will draw a line under the mystery of why, when and how he died. I can understand why fans want to know how he died because it's a natural curiosity when someone is there one minute and the next they're gone. Add to that the love for him and sense of loss. The whole thing is very sad and knowing why he died will help some people move on.
Baby, you're a star.
