If its the truth from the reports then I personally have no recourse than to believe a plan was made for retirement or our man was murdered!

In either case we will never know nor will we ever have justice!

It is very, very sad! But unfortunately it doesn't change anything about the fact he's not among us anymore. And that, to me, still is the saddest and hardest part of this horrible story.

Prince, U and that will never change! Damn, miss U my friend!!!

I'm still waiting for the official toxicology and autopsy report from the Medical Examiner's office.

It's unofficial for now. In my eyes, nothing is official until the medical examiner's office has spoken. Period.

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

--/ I think when we get the official report we are going to find he had other medical issues. He may have mixed the pain meds with other things. I have taken percocets and there is no why he could be bopping around on just those pills. Those percocets have you coma.

Sounds like he has been hooked on percocets for a long time, for his chronic pain. He lasted a long time. I took one percocet for pain and it caused me to have a heart attack when I was in my early 30's. I cannot imagine popping percocets all day, for years, and not dying sooner. Oh God, how sad and tragic. I miss him dearly. I wish him love, I wish him heaven. RIP sweet Prince.

Do you all have a boat load of questions running through your head? I do, here are some;

If it was truly an op/od, when did he start taking them?

Who perscribed them?

Were the doctors watching him for addiction?

Did he hide the fact that he might be taking too much?

Did he think that he will get it taken care of, but couldn't make the time with touring schedule?

Was his death a combination of things - exhaustion, medication, not eating, not sleeping?

Did his body just give up with all combined?

Did he take other medications and they were not supposed to be taken together?

Did the doctors give him too much dosage?

What was the timeline? He was there in the elevator for "6 hours" - found at 9:40. So death was at approx. 3:40? What time was he dropped off? What was his demeanor at that time? Edgy, tired, happy?

Why was he left alone if he had just come through this harrowing ordeal? ( do realize that you did what you were told if on the payroll - I don't think Prince messed around or minced his words)

Did he accidentally take too much - forget when his last dose was? Accidental overdose?

Did he end his life on purpose? Was he fighting depression as well?

From what I know, these drugs can make you do things out of character.

I know the 'full report" will be out tomorrow but I am not holding my breath to find out anything new.

Personally I find it hard to believe he was addicted - but not out of the realm of possibility I suppose. I think there is ALOT we don't know and may never know. But I do know one thing, he's still gone from us. And I am devestated and really mad! He didn't have a terminal illness that couldn't have been helped. He allegedly had a problem, a problem that could've been addressed and therfore a death that could've been prevented. My heart breaks for him, for his family and friends and for us. Thanks again for this site and all your help in answering questions, sharing pictures and stories and having lively, respectful conversations about our beloved Prince. Peace, Love and Healing to you all.

Too many questions. It's too painful.

Where did you hear that?

It's being reported at various news sites:

http://kstp.com/news/prince-overdose-death-opioid/4157825/?cat=1

That link has new information in it. It says that there was a Percocet and Fentanyl overdose!

Yeah the thought crossed my mind as well.

It's called a leak. It happens all the time. Often purposely.

Yes, and I accept it as fact. It's not beyond the realm of possibilty that Prince was hooked on opiates, which likely caused sudden cardiac arrest. It's unfortunate that one of the greatest musicians of the past 100 years abruptly died in his 50s.

Well put

The Doctor from CA is a leading expert in this particular therapy. He sent his son to MN with bupro with the intent of joining him and Prince in a day or two. In the meantime, Prince had been seen by a local MN doctor who was monitoring the situation. There wasn't an advantage in going to the Betty Ford clinic, other than merely being around other people. And, sad but true, Prince didn't want to be around other people. The plan Prince and his close friends/associates had was much better than just calling 911. Sadly, accidents happen sometimes.

what. you need to understand that when you reach a certain stage, these things are taken out of the hands of people who "don't want to be around other people". That when you "die" 3 or 4 days earlier, you lose your options of what you can and cannot do. If people didn't take this out of his hands and he ends up dead, there might be criminal charges. Let's just let every suicidal person or addict decide for themselves then what they want to do. This is tragic and unnecessary. If you care about someone who is an addict and is showing self destructive tendencies you watch them like a hawk. BEEN THERE.

This really isn't news based upon what was already known about the treatment he sort. I guess for myself, the curiousity surrounding this has to do with another reason for him not immediately being entered into a treatment facility after the incident on the plane. I know that Prince is a grown man and could chose not to enter rehab but it still seems irresponsible to have left him home alone after such a close call. What saddens me more is the thought that he may have been in denial about the severity of the problem *if he chose to be left alone* or if he was just concerned about image/public perception. The truth of the matter is that Prince is LOVED by me eternally and it doesn't matter if he had a problem because he would still be loved. I wish he had gone into rehab and just still been here with us. He never needed to answer to me about what was going on in his personal life. I really wish he knew that we loved him anyway. He saved me too many times for me to be judging him about his life.

Sad. I know people who have chronic pain and were addicts... Nothing to joke about. Living life in pain is no joke. But the good thing is that at least Prince isn't in pain anymore.

Arrest the doctor.

F the Media! Nothing but BS LIES!

The man did not do drugs to the point of Death at age 57!

He was healthy.

Something smells, and it's worse than burnt pasta on the stove!

The insinuation by the Media that we his fans would believe all this BS is what also pisses me F ing off!

The only thing that is going to keep me going in life is knowing that Prince is not alone up there in heaven, if that is where he is. He also does not have to watch his back anymore. Here on earth alive he always had to be in control all the time. Now he will never be persecuted by this evil media merchant of chaos world like Bill Cosby. Why stick around for all that BS to look forward too. He is in a better place dead or alive!

For those stressing about a tarnished legacy, pain killer addiction is far too common a situation for that to tarnish anything. Anyone that uses that reason to tarnish Prince's reputation has been living under a rock and/or is only grandstanding for attention (sales/popularity). If an opiod overdose is what happened, obviously, we can't wish it away, being concerned about his legacy. Hopefully, this outcome will prompt others (or those in their circle) to get help if they have even the slightest notion that something is amiss.

"Fifty times more potent than heroin." https://en.m.wikipedia.or...i/Fentanyl How did he even ride a bicycle, let alone stand up?

From your link.

Fentanyl's most common side-effects (more than 10% of patients) include diarrhea, nausea, constipation, dry mouth, somnolence, confusion, asthenia (weakness), sweating, and less frequently (3 to 10% of patients) abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, anorexia and weight loss, dizziness, nervousness, hallucinations, anxiety, depression, flu-like symptoms, dyspepsia (indigestion), dyspnea (shortness of breath), hypoventilation, apnea, and urinary retention. Fentanyl use has also been associated with aphasia.^[6]

Despite being a more potent analgesic, fentanyl tends to induce less nausea, as well as less histamine-mediated itching, in relation to morphine.^[33]

Fentanyl may produce more prolonged respiratory depression than other opioid analgesics.^{[34][35][36][37][38][39][40]} In 2006 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began investigating several respiratory deaths, but doctors in the United Kingdom were not warned of the risks with fentanyl until September 2008.^[41] The FDA reported in April 2012 that young children had died or become seriously ill from accidental exposure to a fentanyl skin patch.[42

CNN is reading the official report live. COD=accidental.
