I'm afraid many people will just read "drug overdose" and understand "recreational drugs". it was already the understanding of a 13 y.o. student of mine right after Prince passed.

This is very sad in all case, a natural death or terminal illness would have been unavoidable, but this... Prince could still be among us.

I don't think it means he was in so much pain at all, why do so many folks think Prince would pop these pills like they were skittles to get the pain away, when doing so is akin to suicide.

Prince was smarter than that and had a much stronger will than anyone I can think of. If anything these opiods reacted with something else imo.

PRINCE OD - In a related story, Prince collection for sale. Details forthcoming.

My pain mgt dr said he would have had to take a handful at a time to kill him that fast. She believes it interacted w another med. Accidental

Exactly, thank you for backing that up with some solid info.

Am I the only one here to recognize this is not an official report? A law enforcement official who is not supposed to talk to the media, talks to the media. This is the same old same old we've been getting for several weeks. I don't trust the source and will hold judgment until the official report comes out.

You're not the only one. I'm witholding judgement too.

I know what you're saying, i'm making an assumption there alright. I'm sure there's a lot more to the story, it'll probably come out in time.

Speculating here, it could easily have been a total fluke overdose or overprescription on a man who wasn't used to and couldn't handle a lot of opiods. Alternatively he could have had an addiction of some sort, being smart doesn't stop people becoming addicted. You don't on or off these things by having a high IQ you know what I mean?

Maybe he should have had his hip operation instead. Would've probably saved his life.

I am waiting for the official report. While I do think opoids may have played a part in his passing, I think there is more to this story than what has been released so far.

Prince was smarter than this? Being a composed person and a musical genius does not make him "smart". A camel at 3am in Jan, rings a bell ?

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 the same way.His health should have been a priority.But I know it would have been hard for him to stop performing.

If the autopsy reports aren't going to be released until tomorrow, then how did the AP get this info?

Is this meant to be a serious question?

Of course, I agree that your IQ has nothing to do with being on or off these substances. Mainly what I was trying to get at is that Prince was well aware of the dangers of this tupe of medication, and he would not knowingly put himself in an overdose situation with these.

Remember, we are talking about the same guy who didnt use cell phones because he deemed them unhealthy due to the radiation they emit. He avoided anything bad for him like the plague, be it real, or perceived.

Some people are more susceptible to addiction-- whether it's drugs, alcohol, etc.-- than others. Wished he recognized he had a problem and took it seriously , especially what happened the week before his death when he was unconscious from overdose and had an emergency landing. He could have entered a rehab clinic.
