Yes, because they released the autopsy report right after an unnamed source leak.

Really? I missed that detail

And someone is held responsible and served justice for the beloved victim. Accidently ingested, but a crime was comitted. I'm just glad they are leaving the case open for however long it takes. Once a case is closed, it very rarely ever gets reopened.

What was accidentally ingested? confused

fentanyl.

you make a really good point. and, i've tried really hard to avoid indulging in this type of speculation. but for me, if this detail is true, it simply adds to an already tall pile of strange that has gone unexplained. that is, even without this detail the thing is weird. add this detail and it becomes sinister imo

My recollection is that reports of pills/meds/drugs being found at the death scene were almost immediate and widespread. I have no recollection of the sheriff denying this.

You missed the point. Prince's life & death is bigger than your issue with conspiracy theories. As nurse said, some people are genuinely grieving here. All they want is the goddamn dots 2 join up. So far there's untold holes in the story.

I could care less how far they sniff if something bad happened here and all this leads to justice for Prince then so be it. Youre from MN right? So U would think you'd want justice for Prince too if that indeed is where all this headed.



Yes of course. IF it goes down that path then OF COURSE I want justice to be done!

Yeah, that's if you're a TRUE, real friend you get the person help. I wonder exactly how many true, genuine friends Prince had vs people wanting to use him for their own self-serving agendas. As for Prince asking staff or friends to risk prison to obtain illegal drugs for him, I seriously seriously doubt THAT. There are always plenty of "yes" men/women and buttkissers surrounding celebrities in the guise of "helpful friend", i.e. wanting to score brownie points. There were also many naive, young people who worked for Prince who may have 'helpfully' gotten him meds and were completely clueless as to the dangers of what's happening in MN right now particularly re: street drugs.

This is so far fetched lol


Which part? That he might do it himself instead of asking others to risk serving time on his behalf? Or that he had the ability to use email and create an online pharma account? wink

One of the overdose victims in California was David Alfaro, a 53-year old man who suffered chronic pain from a leg injury, according to a report by KCRA-TV.

"He bought what he thought was Norco, and it ended up being fentanyl -- and it killed him," said Marinda Conway, Alfaro’s common law wife. "He wasn't a heroin addict that was looking to substitute his addiction by buying street pills. He wasn't an opioid addict by any means.”

Conway said a single fake Norco pill was enough to kill Alfaro, although autopsy results are pending.

"This has been my fear with the new CDC guidelines that more people with pain will have less access to prescription medications; therefore taking matters into their own hands, self-medicating with medications bought on the street," said Paul Gileno, president of U.S. Pain Foundation, referring to recently adopted government guidelines that discourage primary care physicians from prescribing opioids for chronic pain.

"The CDC never thought about the unintended consequences from limiting access to legitimate patients needing care whose clinicians now feel unable to prescribe or treat appropriately. My worst nightmare is the possible repercussions looming in the future due to these hindering guidelines," Gileno said.

In a survey last fall of over 2,000 pain patients by Pain News Network, 70 percent predicted that use of heroin and other illegal drugs would increase if the CDC guidelines were adopted.

That's the whole thing....to many if's at this point; too many "sources say". For my own sanity right now I'm choosing to believe it was pain management gone horribly wrong. And I do believe it was pain management either from chronic pain or some illness very few people knew about.

Yes. I recall it being the same day. There was a leak that morning . Later that afternoon the coroner's office released their report. People were tweeting them, they kept saying they had nothing to report. Then within hours they did.

Yep b/c people, and the media, never embellish or make up straight up BS to sell copies. that story is so full of holes and out-of-character for Prince claims I find it difficult to believe anybody would believe it. MAYBE Prince was in the club a month before he passed...MAYBE he even played a song or two. But so much of the bulk of that 'story' is suspect it's ridiculous. lol

The pills in Florida are disguised to look like oxycodone, Percocet or Xanax, but are actually made with fentanyl, a powerful and dangerous drug 50 times more potent than morphine. Similar counterfeit pills, made to look like Norco hydrocodone medication, are blamed for at least ten deaths and dozens of overdoses in the Sacramento, California area in recent weeks.

This is just so frightening to read about. My God, I can only imagine how panicked he must have felt in his last moments. My heart aches to think he was in a level of pain great enough to start taking opioids. I had no idea of the extent of his struggle and I'm so sorry he suffered. I really loved that man, losing him has been very hard...this is just so upsetting to me. sad

Why would someone get meds for Prince and Prince take them if he didn't ask? Unless Kirk or someone else was also on medication, could see that Prince was in pain and gave him their pills to take? Bottom line is fentanyl was in his system. So either he took it knowing what it was, took it thinking it was something else, or I don't know what else. It's not like something you could slip in somebody's drink, I don't think. confused

Bay Area hospitals have treated seven patients who ingested what they thought was the painkiller Norco in recent weeks, according to a report released Tuesday by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The patients all survived, though at least some experienced nausea, vomiting and difficulty breathing.

The pills were adulterated with fentanyl, the powerful opioid.

Sacramento County health officials have reported 52 Norco-connected poisonings since late March, with 12 of those cases resulting in deaths. Neighboring Yolo County reported two deaths.

Yup, my memory was that it was only a couple of hours between the leak and the publication of the report.

Oh I completely agree with you about so much being unexplained. This entire tragedy from beginning to now is bizarre, and only seems to get more bizarre. But, and this is just my opinion, I think there is too much focus being placed on red herrings like this NY Daily News story and the mysterious 'two girls' with Prince. The waters are being muddied either by minutae, or people that (again, imo) SHOULD be more forthcoming are being given either a free pass due to who they are or for inexplicable reasons, such as that doctor who hasn't been heard from since April. (although to be fair, letting a physician go or the physician leaving his position amidst an investigation and situation such as this isn't uncommon; if that guy is an innocent bystander caught up in this mess merely due to unfortunate circumstance, I'd want to disappear too while all this is going on as what could he contribute anymore at this point? but again, WHO KNOWS WHAT HE KNOWS OR DOESN'T? Hopefully law enforcement does). I think some of Prince's "friends" who have spoken out with very unbelievable claims "Oh I *NEVER* saw Prince look like he was in pain!" or other similar remarks seems more weird to me...how could some of these people claiming ignorance or else denying what is known fact (now) say some of this stuff with a straight face? All this to say, I agree with you about us being left with FAR FAR too much 'unexplained weird'. And it's not right. There is something terribly fishy about so much of this and it's frustrating.
