Update: Fox News - Pills found at Paisley Park contained Fentanyl

"The official, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, said many pills were falsely labeled as "Watson 385." According to Drugs.com, that stamp is used to identify pills containing a mix of acetaminophen and hydrocodone.

About a dozen tablets were found in a dressing room at Paisley Park, but the vast majority was in bottles of Vitamin C and aspirin that had been tucked inside a suitcase and bags — including one Princeoften carried with him."

Sheds a bit more light on whether these were actually Prince's pills..

Prince death: Powerful drugs found in singer's home 'were mislabelled'

Pills seized from the home of singer Prince contained the dangerously powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl but were mislabelled, according to reports.

Speaking to the Minneapo

lis Star Tribune, officials investigating the artist's death said the pills were labelled as hydrocodone, a weaker type of opioid.

Autopsy results released in June revealed Prince died of an accidental fentanyl overdose.

Officials told the Associated Press the singer had no prescriptions for controlled substances at the time.

Prince was found dead at 57 in an elevator inside his Paisley Park home in April.

According to the Star Tribune report, the musician weighed just 50kg (8 stone) at the time of his death and had significantly more than a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system.

What really gets me is this part:

"Prince was wearing a black shirt and pants — both were on backward — and his socks were inside-out, according to a source familiar with the case."

WTF happened? Did somebody dress him and make a mistake putting his clothes back on???

It happens when someone is trying to kill you or you are buying black market counterfeit drugs. Either way, it's murder in some degree.

I think that doctor is somewhat responsible. How interesting his attorney says under privacy laws, the drugs prescribed to Prince doesn't have to be revealed. I also think his best friend may have known and maybe obtained the pills. Prince did not have to die. I do think his pain triggered this addiction, because he never looked like a drug addict. He looked healthy up to 2014. He walked with canes since 1998 so he had to be hurting.

His clothes on backward is strange. He is wearing the similar black clothes as the day before. Wasn't he dropped off around 8pm? What happened between 8pm and the next morning, and who called that he was in desperate need of help and yet left him alone. Doesn't make sense.

Or when you're trying to hide what you're taking. That's the logical explanation as opposed to a flight of fancy involving murder.
