I'm wondering are you a doctor, nurse or research assistant since you are persistent in putting out information based on "research" and presenting yourself as an expert in all matters. Were you personally part of these research trials? I spent over 10 years in the field, am licensed by two states in multiple areas-including substance abuse and addiction treatment-and spent a majority of my time directly working in opiate abuse/addiction and have personally conducted and participated in many of these so called "research" studies, so I might happen not to be a troll and actually know a few things. BTW-I'm also a huge Prince fan wink I am not going into a medical presentation on opiate receptors and how the binder in the brain works to develop tolerance. What I will say, if any of you have taken a statistics class in high school or beyond, you know that any research can be manipulated to produce the desired outcome. Yes, people can experience a severe medical issue but 99% of the time it is because there is a coexisting medical condition. If you are taking massive amounts of acetaminophen AND abusing alcohol, you can end up with irreversible organ damage because the liver is already compromised due to the alcohol. If he were taking high enough doses for long enough to cause internal damage, believe me, it would be obvious to anyone around him. Even when one has a tolerance, the body eventually just shuts down and the person goes to sleep or passes out. One would be barely able to talk, let alone perform a concert and be coherent enough to play an instrument. I don't even know what you are ultimately trying to prove or point out. I just think it is wise if we all approach the situation with care and caution and not grab the first article we see to cite as "evidence" to support our personal theory, that makes us no better than the irresponsible journalists who quote "unnamed sources"-they could be their grandma for all any one knows. Peace.




Here we go. I never said I was an expert on anything. I can read and the research is out there on this topic.



“Were you personally part of these research trials?

BTW-I'm also a huge Prince fan I am not going into a medical presentation on opiate receptors and how the binder in the brain works to develop tolerance.”



I don’t have to be a part of a research trail to be able to read about them. Are you a doctor because you sound like a licensed substance abuse counselor which is not a medical doctor. Because some medical doctors are backing away from prescribing pain meds for the long haul due to the long term side effects and people becoming severely addicted.


I don’t care about the receptors in the brain the problem in a nutshell is that these pain meds can cause long term damage and many doctors don’t believe they should be used for pain management at all. If you are an addiction counselor you are dealing with people who are hooked and if doctors keep giving out these pills it keeps you employed.






“What I will say, if any of you have taken a statistics class in high school or beyond, you know that any research can be manipulated to produce the desired outcome.”



Yes, I have taken a statistics course and if you are implying that data is being manipulated to stop the wide spread use of pain pills the question would be why. Who is manipulating the data? Big Pharma wants to stay in the business of selling pain meds so that are not manipulating the data. So who is doing this? Right now the lawsuits and deaths are out there to back up what I am saying as this is becoming an epidemic. We are not talking about people using pain meds for recreation we are talking about people getting this stuff from their doctor and being over prescribed.





“Yes, people can experience a severe medical issue but 99% of the time it is because there is a coexisting medical condition. If you are taking massive amounts of acetaminophen AND abusing alcohol, you can end up with irreversible organ damage because the liver is already compromised due to the alcohol. If he were taking high enough doses for long enough to cause internal damage, believe me, it would be obvious to anyone around him. Even when one has a tolerance, the body eventually just shuts down and the person goes to sleep or passes out. One would be barely able to talk, let alone perform a concert and be coherent enough to play an instrument. I don't even know what you are ultimately trying to prove or point out.”



First of all I doubt is 99% of the time and the 1% is important as anyone else. People are getting hooked on these pills because they are being prescribed for something as minor as a broken arm. I don’t think that every person who gets over prescribed is knocking back drinks while taking their meds. You can take out your liver by taking too much over the counter meds with acetaminophen and you don’t have to chase it with liquor.



Did anyone say that Prince was at the end stage of liver failure? He could have very well have been at the beginning or somewhere in the middle of that situation. What we do know is that he did not look good starting in January as those pics from Australia are showing a much different face than the pics from November of 2015. What we do know is that Dr.S wrote him meds that were not controlled substances and that he was bringing him test results the day he died. What we do know is that if he had any organ problems he would have had to stop taking pain meds as his organs would not be able to handle them anymore and we know how hard it is to get off of these meds. He was not in a rehab he was seeing Dr S on an outpatient basis for withdrawals. Why not just go in a rehab and gradually step down? What we do know is that his sister is saying that she knew he was going to die to years ago right around the time he got back his masters and set up the LLC. What we do know is that Dr. S is listed on at least one website as a critical care doctor and that he has no background in pain management or addiction.



All of the things I have listed are factual and the fact that he may have had an illness along with pain management issue are plausible.




“I just think it is wise if we all approach the situation with care and caution and not grab the first article we see to cite as "evidence" to support our personal theory, that makes us no better than the irresponsible journalists who quote "unnamed sources"-they could be their grandma for all any one knows. Peace.”



Yes, because you know I grabbed the first article I saw and just used that for my theory.


You know this because you have ESP? I have done quite a lot of reading on this and I have spoken to medical professionals at no time have I said I am right and everybody else is wrong. I have a theory based on the facts that I believe is plausible. You have come here promoting the use of pain meds and ignoring the damages that they do to people and ignoring the odd things surrounding Prince’s homicide case.



I have NEVER once promoted the use of pain meds, nor have I ignored the damages that they do to people. NEVER once have I ignored the odd things around Prince's death. You clearly have great insecurities, as you are quick to make false accusations, dismiss someone as a "troll" or outright curse them out if they don't join in your hypothesis. What I do have issue with is:


!. People-such as yourself- who have cruelly slandered the name and reputation of other persons by accusing them of murder, without any factual evidence.


2. People-such as yourself- who won't even consider anyone else as legit. unless they agree with you.


3. People-such as yourself- who feel the need to curse at other members of this board and treat others with blatent disrespect, trying to turn other posters against them and creating school yard drama, yet become hyperdefensive when anyone questions your thoughts or asks for evidence. I note you rare provide where you get your information when asked.


4. People -such as yourself-who throw out medical information as fact because they have "talked" to someone or read it and believe that makes them more knowledgable than someone who actually is an educated and licensed professional.



You can dance your happy dance because this is quite possibly the last post or visit I will make to this site. For the life of me, I can't understand how the moderators would even allow the nonsense that goes on here to continue if they hope this would be a respected and legitimate site. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that a community of persons who claim to be fans of Prince would come to a site and be so nasty and disrespectful of one another and towards him, his family members and his friends. Clearly few here are interested in intellegent discourse about the Artist, his accomplishments or his music- nor finding the truth about what happened, it's just a bunch of people trying to prove they're right through what ever means they can find somewhere on the web. Good luck eating each other alive.

More two cents from me: he didn't look well at the November 2015 awards ceremony. Thinner, bad coloring, carrying the guitar for no reasonable purpose ... New Year's Eve he was all bundled up for the private concert. Then, P & A M down under - some frailty. Back to North America and he supposedly seemed fine in Canada, then he appeared in March at the basketball game, clothed as if for a night outside in Minnesota, including the gloves. Supposedly again he seemed fine at the memoir show in NYC, but then he became "ill" rolling into April and then ... we know some of what happened thereafter. But, honestly, we don't know the facts except for the ME statement. This cherished soul died, alone, in an elevator, apparently struggling with demons we fams knew nothing about. He was loved by millions, but did he love himself? Was there no one he trusted enough to allow that person to walk the journey with him? We are fighting over semantics and credentials and speculation. Nothing will bring him back. And none of this will repair our broken hearts.

"…No will, sure, but how was the situation wr.t. their relatives, the inheritance, etc?…"



"…Was it simple and clear-cut?…"





"…I understand the point behind your question, udo. But "I don't know" is all I myself can tell you about the individual situations. More detail can be read by clicking Launch Gallery at the top of that page…"



"…The majority of those on that list, I didn't even know died intestate, until I first read that article back in May. I mean, Abraham Lincoln? Who knew?…"



"…The message that I hope people take-away from that list, is that Prince dying without a will does not automatically mean that "something suspicous" is behind it…"



"…To me anyway, that list shows not having a will, simply means that Prince probably procrastinated on his estate management affairs, the same way that the majority of us other human beings do…"



"…The ironic thing is — the same people who jump to the conclusion that, "Prince did not have a will, so he must have been murdered…" — the odds are that they themselves don't have a will either…"



Neither does Snoop Dog







"…At least one other legendary music artist definitely doesn't have a plan, and he's not worried about it…"



"…We caught up with Snoop Dogg in his trailer after his performance Tuesday night at the AOL NewFront event in Manhattan, promoting his new AOL series "Coach Snoop." We asked him if he's left a will, and if he made plans for his estate when he dies…"



"…Snoop doesn't care. He'll be dead…"



"…“I don’t give a f--- when I’m dead. What am I gonna give a f--- about?” Snoop told Business Insider. “This goin’ on while I’m gone, you know?”…"



"…Snoop hopes to be reincarnated, and observe the ruckus over his estate from the next life…"



"…“Hopefully, I’m a butterfly,” Snoop said. “I come back and fly around and look at all these motherf-----s fighting over my money and shit, like, 'Look at all these dumb motherf-----s.' Ha!”…"





"…Oh, that Snoop Dogg! Can you imagine what he would be like if he didn't smoke some ganja every now and then? Well, I guess in his case, it's more like 24/7!…"



"…Maybe Prince had some of those same thoughts?…"





Prince probably did have similar thoughts. It's safe to say it's the norm according to certain statistics.

3/4 of a gallon of liquid fentanyl.....whoa!!! Sonshine, good news they got this off the street. Such a tragedy unfolding in this country .... Here's an excerpt from an article that depicts the dealers thought process.
" I recently watched an episode of Drugs, Inc. called Heroin Island, covering drug dealing in New Jersey and Staten Island, New York. In the episode, a dealer admitted to pouring liquid fentanyl into random bags of a new batch of heroin to achieve just that effect – to cause an overdose or death and highlight word of his brand’s potency to generate more business"

To me, that's premeditated murder. Prayers to our addicted, our police officers who come across this poison and those who suffer the loss of their loved ones from the animals that put it out there.

I think this might be simpler than people think. He had some hip pain, which many people in their late 50's take something to deal with various forms of pain due to old bones, and he was taking vicodins and other things to help him manage that pain. Perhaps it wasn't prescribed, but what he was doing is not unlike what a lot of people do. My son plays football and when he gets injured we sometimes give him painkillers from old prescriptions to get him through the season. The problem is that he got a bad batch and it killed him. It is that simple. It happens to people all across the nation.

Look at this article from just before his death:

http://www.startribune.co...374352711/

And look at this article that was just a few days ago:

http://www.startribune.co...400475121/

He should still be here.

My God, Donny - if anything should have been ringing alarm bells in Prince's mind, it's this. It's ALL there!!! We know he was a news junkie so how can he possibly have missed this???
.
I can only assume Prince was getting his (fake) Vicodins from what he thought was a highly trusted source - or that he was desperate enough, ie in so much pain, that he didn't care.
.
I know others think that the pills were planted deliberately but, like you, I tend to think it's more simple than that.

I'm speculating here, but I also think that Prince had no idea what the heck was happening to his body and perhaps he asked for tests to see if anything was up and maybe those were the test results that were being delivered by the Minnesota doctor a few hours too late. This is pure speculation on my part, but it makes sense.

I agree! Prince was 57, after all. Even without injuries, we all get aches and pains at that age! I could not read the links because I used up my trial period with the Star Tribune! But, I see the headlines about the epidemic we are having right now. It's nothing short of a nightmare!

Prince was well-read, like you said, so I'm sure he was aware of the Fentanyl epidemic in this country. I stand firm in my belief though, that he was not aware of what he was taking. I have a hard time believing that he would intentionally take a deadly dose of Fentanyl.

Prince was well-read, like you said, so I'm sure he was aware of the Fentanyl epidemic in this country. I stand firm in my belief though, that he was not aware of what he was taking. I have a hard time believing that he would intentionally take a deadly dose of Fentanyl.


I'm not quite saying he took Fentanyl intentionally - more that there is a possibility that he was in so much pain that he didn't care enough to properly investigate what he was ingesting. After all, if he WANTED to take Fentanyl, why go to all the effort of sourcing pills that were disguised as something else?

.
As I say, I'm inclined to think that a) he was getting them off someone / somewhere in which he had complete trust (maybe a history of accessing pain meds that way) OR b) that his pain was bad enough that he wasn't minded to take much notice of the media coverage, preferring instead to bury his head in the sand.

I agree. Everything you stated is quite plausible. nod

The Minneapolis Star Tribune has interviewed Toure, a podcaster and author of "I Would Die 4 U: Why Prince Became an Icon." Toure talked about how others said P eschewed drugs, including caffeine, when he was younger, but that later P used "prescription drugs, self medication, becoming addicted because they [many people, including P] are trying to deal with pain" even though Toure says this "isn't to me a real comment about him."

make it worse.... some one comparing Prince to.. wait a minute... who??? Kanye West?? Really???

Good grief, it was virtually impossible to hear him over all the background noise going on and the echo chamber effect. He really lost me though when he indicated he preferred Kanye over Prince. Bye Felicia.


Thanks for the link bilbolives but boo to Toure'. shake

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

I think this might be simpler than people think. He had some hip pain, which many people in their late 50's take something to deal with various forms of pain due to old bones, and he was taking vicodins and other things to help him manage that pain. Perhaps it wasn't prescribed, but what he was doing is not unlike what a lot of people do. My son plays football and when he gets injured we sometimes give him painkillers from old prescriptions to get him through the season. The problem is that he got a bad batch and it killed him. It is that simple. It happens to people all across the nation.

Look at this article from just before his death:



http://www.startribune.co...374352711/

And look at this article that was just a few days ago:

http://www.startribune.co...400475121/


He should still be here.

My God, Donny - if anything should have been ringing alarm bells in Prince's mind, it's this. It's ALL there!!! We know he was a news junkie so how can he possibly have missed this???
.
I can only assume Prince was getting his (fake) Vicodins from what he thought was a highly trusted source - or that he was desperate enough, ie in so much pain, that he didn't care.
.
I know others think that the pills were planted deliberately but, like you, I tend to think it's more simple than that.
.




I'm speculating here, but I also think that Prince had no idea what the heck was happening to his body and perhaps he asked for tests to see if anything was up and maybe those were the test results that were being delivered by the Minnesota doctor a few hours too late. This is pure speculation on my part, but it makes sense.


Agree with your speculation Donny. I also have found that bit of info puzzling, he somehow died before getting results...speculating here....from what happened to him on the plane.

Adrian CRUTCHFIELD ( Prince band member) tweeted on Aug. 21st that his death was no accident # thieves in the temple.
I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

17 Famous People Who Died Without A Will

Kelly Phillips Erb, Forbes Staff






"…Prince Rogers Nelson (better known as Prince) made headlines recently when his sister filed documents claiming that the entertainer died without a will. As hard as that might be to believe, it’s not all that unusual…"









"…It’s a lot to leave up to the law but a majority of Americans do just that – including celebrities. Here are 17 famous people who died without a will:…"





  1. Abraham Lincoln: one of the most famous lawyers of our time and the sixteenth president of the United States.


  2. Martin Luther King, Jr.: civil rights leader and activist.


  3. Jimi Hendrix: one of the greatest guitar players of all time.


  4. Pablo Picasso: famous artist.


  5. Howard Hughes: entrepreneur and billionaire


  6. Bob Marley: Jamaican singer/songwriter.


  7. Kurt Cobain: singer/songwriter and frontman for Nirvana.


  8. Tupac Shakur: rap artist and actor.


  9. Salvatore Phillip “Sonny” Bono: entertainer turned U.S. Congressman.


  10. Barry White: soulful entertainer.


  11. Stieg Larsson: famous author.


  12. James Brown: singer known as the Godfather of Soul. (Quick disclaimer: Brown did sign a will but it is subject to litigation.)


  13. Steve McNair: former NFL quarterback and Pro Bowler.


  14. Nate Dogg: rapper and actor.


  15. Amy Winehouse: British singer/songwriter.


  16. Prince: multi-talented artist.


  17. Michael Jackson: the King of Pop. (Quick disclaimer: Jackson’s mother initially filed paperwork – much like Prince’s sister – alleging that there was no will. A will was eventually discovered.)










I Warsh Myself With A Rag On A Stick!


-// Wrong Michael had a trust and James Brown's will was subject to litigation due to his children contesting the will.
