Another day to mourn. Well, we wanted to know. That speculation can end.

I wish I could go a day without crying for him.

My only question that I guess we'll never get answers to is if he was withdrawing why leave him alone and with more damn pills...shit is not right.

Was there no alternative to taking opioids? Like a surgery that would once and for all end his pains? 😢😢😢

Suregery can be very successful but there is no guarantee. He could have had the surgery back in 2010/11 and still been in pain.

also, him being a jehovah's witness, surgery may not have been an option for him.

My heart breaks! I wish him love, I wish him heaven! We are all truly blessed we shared this earth at the same time Prince did!

I can't help but think there is more to it. I just wish instead of letting the results trickle out they would just release it all at once. It's heartbreaking as it is!

agreed

I don't think is "news" to us, but to the public at large.

We knew this was the case because of the opiate specialist (or his son, rather) from the rehab center being one of the three that found him. You have to be in a very bad state to warrant that sort of assistance. That and the situation with the plane.

Like others have said.......... it still doesn't really tell us anything and we still need to wait for the full autopsy results to understand what kind of chronic pain he was in or other underlying issues.

I wish he would have gotten help sooner and slowed down. He shouldn't have been performing, he shouldn't have been flying anywhere..........Prince just didn't know how to stop :'(

I feel like he just died all over again.

i figured it would be an od. he had been trying to ween himself off and starts a terrifing,dangerous cycle of, withdraw (severe flu symptoms) then taking a little to manage symptoms and pain, then oding because your body had be off for awhile ......on and on, round and round. your system is already compromised and stressed. the constant ping-ponging etc keeps your body from metobolizing things well,or at all.

i've known so many people that struggle this way for along time until it kills them or they complete rehab.

.my heart is broken all over again. goodnight sweet Prince.

Very very true, especially in that area. I had a distant friend who had a back/hip issue very painful and the surgery really did not do much in terms of the pain, sometimes surgery brings out other pain. In my friends case the pain lead to bouts with depression, very severe and further hospilization and then tragically suicide.

Unfortunately I am sure there is more to this that we will never know, a simple opiod overdose could have been confirmed to everyone a month ago.

I was thinking the same thing.

Exactly. But it's also upsetting again, knowing he was left alone after ODing a few days earlier.

This is not news. We all knew that he technically died of an overdose. I hate that the media will get another week to rehash the fact that he was on opioids, had an overdose after the Atlanta concert, etc., etc. Whether or not there were other underlying issue that made him more susceptible to an overdose or whether he was taking other drugs that made the impact of the opioids more lethal is probably more relevant. It doesn't matter anyway. A great man is gone. The media needs to stop rehashing this.

Oh, please, stop dissing his personal life choices if you have any respect for the man. Witnesses get surgery every day and if he needed and wanted hip surgery, he could have gotten it no problem.

Move on........ there is no need for all this mess. Let's not derail the topic and it would be nice if folks could be civil and respectful.

We are not going to know HOW much pain he was in, doctors can only ASSUME, only PRINCE knew the amount of pain he was in. And with pain killers etc...the more you take them over time, the PAIN just gets used to it and stops working so the person takes more, which has happened many times before.

I still Luv U Prince !!!!!

This is premature. The official report is released tomorrow.

There may be more to the story. Underlying cause, etc.

No matter what the reason, its sad and definitely hard to accept. May he finally rest in peace.

He was around people ALL of the time, if he was in any serious pain, I am sure these people, many many many many people, would have known.

So sad... as it could have been prevented if only someone was there with him until he got proper treatment.
