Huh? Suspicious deaths occur every single day is this country and right in our own neighborhoods. Do you watch the news? I see no difference between the sudden/supicious death of a celebrity and a common citizen.

.

I agree that Humans die and stars are human (rock stars), not the one's in our solar system though.

It happens all the time. I have a student this semester whose father died in similar circumstances to Prince -- taking far more of an opoiod that he ever took and enough that it would kill anyone. It took a couple of weeks but everyone became suspicious and a few weeks after that, the "girlfriend" was arrested for manslaughter.

He was out of it and she crushed a ton of pills and fed them to him "because he asked for them."

The only difference between my student's father and Prince -- aside from the musician/fame thing -- is that the dad was known to be addicted to painkillers.

Further, my cousin's husband allegedly committed suicide 40 years ago. Even though it was ruled a suicide, many family members don't agree because of how he was shot. It would have been very difficult for him to do it by himself.

I know this is anecdotal, but this happens a lot. When things don't add up, family and friends absolutely do try to figure it out with any theory they can muster that makes better sense.

sure families do. but I've seen in the cases of a couple boxers who committed suicide, the families and large segments of their fans believe someone murdered them. Alexis Arguello had gotten into politics in his native country and some people think he was murdered. They point to how he was shot in the chest instead of the head. I think he killed himself. Arturro Gatti likewise killed himself and people blame his girlfriend for murdering him as if a woman could manhandle a former world champion, lift him off the floor and hang him. Even if he was passed out, i've looked at the evidence and it looks like a suicide to me. His fans and family still blame the woman.

at any rate, more answers will likely only come slowly, something looks like it's being covered up but it'll come out. I can't see Prince being such a raving drug addict that he'd completely lost his fucking mind and wouldn't heed the warning of a previous overdose (if that's what the moline incident was) and od'ing a couple days later and that's the whole story. Lots of people in the public eye do image management and it persists after they die. I've mentioned Walter Payton who's cancer was likely caused by pill abuse, I've mentioned bruce lee who they tried to say died of a pain pill but I haven't mentioned people like Miles Davis and Lyle Alzado, two guys who were rumoured to have died of aids and in Alzado's case, he covered it up by saying steroids caused his brain cancer. Steroids don't cause brain cancer as far as I know, but aids can. Tommy Morrison, the boxer, denied to the last that he had aids and spent the last year of his life laying up in a hospice before dying a couple years ago.

Well u can pick the occasionnal anecdote from the newspapers but fact is that I know more people than most people do and never in my lifetime did I meet anyone who found anything suspiscious about the death of someone they knew personally.

good for you, your experience isn't universal and neither is mine. It does happen. Usually, in my opinion, it's to take away some of the pain, especially with suicide. I can think of more cases where someone suspected some sort of foul play with a suicide, of people who weren't even famous. Throw in some cultural suspicion and you have lots of black people who think accidents/suicides were murders. Remember the story of Malcolm X's dad being pushed onto railroad tracks? the family really believes that to this day I think, I think some objective looks don't prove anything suspicious. Like I said, people do things to rationalize senseless deaths. With Prince, I'll only go so far as to say we don't have much info yet, i wouldn't say anything about conspiracy or murder and i do wish that if the people who were around him (appolonia and that guy Crutchfield) would stop hinting stuff without any proof, if nothing else, it really makes them look bad.

It certainly happens but not too often. My dad used to be a notary, dealt with death and wills his whole life, I can ask him (his experience certainly is as universal as can be). Your points are valid, though, but there are also a lot of people with emotional and/or psychiatric issues on the Org. As for those hints by associates (Cat more recently), I have no idea what it is about but my position in that regards is "if u know something either say it in full or don't mention it at all, but don't make yourself sound like a lunatic with cryptic hints".
