I find it odd that almost one year on there has been total radio silence about the circumstances of his untimely death. I know that the police were doing an investigation but surely by now there should have been updates? I am a little concerned that this is getting brushed under the carpet while we are distracted by all these books and celebration cashing in events.

Why is his death being celebrated? This is concerning for me, it's almost as if its been celebrated because now money can be made without the risk of being sued. Band members can reunite and everything can now get released and exploited for cash and his wishes seem to have beem ignored, it's as if he wasn't a living breathing human!

Why wasn't the celebration in June as they always were? Why is it so ridiculously expensive? It just takes hardcore fans for the mugs that they often are!

If you compare this with George Michael, a proper investigation was done, they did proper tests before allowing the funeral and we now know it was heart failure. In contrast, it seems that they couldn't cremate Prince quick enough - odd seeing as this was a potential crime scene. Why, 1 year on have we really heard nothing and why is the .org and other places almost complicit in trying to brush this under the carpet by not allowing discussion on it. If this was murder, as I suspect, then those that did the murder have got exactly what they want - distracted fans and no mention of the circumstances of his death.

COME ON PPL - WE NEED ANSWERS AND IF WE ARE TRUE FANS WE SHOULD BE FIGHTING FOR THE TRUTH AND HIS WISHES NOT JUST MINDLESSLY BUYING ALL THE CASHING IN TRASH!

I honestly don't think this was an accident: there was no way he would have had time to put his clothing on the way it was when they found him if he had taken the Fentanyl-laced pills - they would have taken effect almost immediately - and there would not have been enough time to reach the elevator if he did feel overcome. I think the position he was found in would be a key fact, too. Either suicide or murder ... take your pick.

Agree with you ISasha this was no accident. Not one employee or ex PP worker ever said there were always pills scattered around....but yet that was what we were told PP had the day he was found. Plus- All his clothes on backwards Heading to the garage If he took something and felt out of it I doubt he was going out for a ride...you would think he would instead called for help not get his car. Seems as if he was trying to get away...

Are you having a Lavrov... bc I can't bear to watch?!

Once again muley, we agree in general. But we differ on the details.

In my world view, there are 10 types of people¹…

1. Those of us who prefer to deal with cold hard facts
   
   
2. Those of you who interpret everything in life with A Lot Of Melodrama

So you hang around here and pick the bones and write the one millionth post with "doesn't add up" in it. My opinion is not artifical or flawed logic. It's not normal to endlessly obsess over the unknown and call that true fandom. Or as Prince might say - fanatic-dom.

Well Im not here everyday obsessing over it.

But I definitly still await some type of clear explanation as to what really happened and continue untill then to wonder why the whole thing has a "cover up" feel about it.

It seems many people feel same way as me or i feel same way as them, and thats why u have sooo many posts on this topic. BTW Im not reading every single post on the thread so if I say or use same words as others used its more down to fact people are feeling the same way , im just expressing myself not trying repeat what someone said.

I dont see how me feeling that way is taking anything away from Prince , his music etc.

So I refer to the comment that because someone wants to know the truth in a situation that seems to smell of a cover up, you say that somehow takes away from Prince's legacy, to me that is flawed logic.

Legacy and what happened to Prince are 2 seperate things.

You have two types of people posting on this subject.

1. People who have noticed inconsistencies with the subject and come here to list them and compare notes on the subject.

and…

2. People who come here and demean those that do.

What is a 'Cold Case' would be solving the endless dilemma that is no.2 type of people... those who interpret everything in life with A Lot Of Melodrama! Not to mention names but laurarichardson, zenarose, purplediamonds1, oliviacamron spring to mind as people who will be debating this long after 21 April. The time to respect Prince's legacy should definitely commence after the 1st anniversary, whatever ambiguity remains!

I call bullshit. I do not come here to demean people, period. My opinion is in the minority. There are far far far more threads and posts about the death details than posts like mine. Deal with it.

The Media! The Media! The Media! What is it with you kiddies and The Media?

The same media you're all kvetching about, and denouncing as liars, is the same media that you look to for election coverage. The same media that keeps you abreast on what your elected politicians are doing on your behalf.

It's the same media that you rely on for facts about the economy. It's the same media you rely on for knowing whether or not its gonna rain tommorow.

It's fascinating how you all believe The Media and trust it as a reliable source when you seek to be informed on all those things above. And in the grand scheme of things any rational-minded, mature adult would agree that all those things above are much more important than any particular Pop musician.

But then you selectively choose not to believe The Media when they're saying something that bursts your bubble about your favorite celebrity.

The irony of it is, the same media that you're claiming is lieing about Prince's death, is the very same media you relied on for getting information about Prince when he was alive! The same media through which you first heard about Prince, even!

A lot of people here clearly got a lot of growing up to do.

Here's the thing I don't understand: What would be the motivation of "the media" to conspire to spread a false narrative out Prince's death?

-

Assuming "the media" cares not a whit for truth or accuracy, and simply makes stuff up to increase its advertising revenue, wouldn't they WANT to peddle a story about a convoluated murder plot again Prince? A story like THAT would get them way more website traffic/magazine sales/whatever than an accidental overdose on opioids brought on by a dependency struggle (yawn).

-

Unless, you say, "the media" is PART of the murder plot?? "The media" snuck out to Chanhassen and put P's clothes on backward and forced the opioids down his throat?? Find out on the next episoide of "CSI: Paisley Park"!

When Prince was alive, he would have been the one to correct any media misinformation if he chose to do so. It's open season on him in oh so many ways and by oh so many people. He is not here to correct the bs any more. Very little is believable now.

Don't you know that The Media is a tool of Da Man! And da plan of Da Man is to put Charlie Manson's lunk-head Helter Skelter scheme into motion.

Race riots! Burning down inner city neighborhoods! Looting! Anarchy man! Fight The Power!

Well said, this is exactly it. A year ago Prince himself set it straight and said don't believe the media. He corrected the in they were already putting on what happened to him. The media thrives on negative news and bringing good people down.

Prince was right.

Prince told us not to believe the news but the news had only reported the flu at the time, if I remember correctly. So how was he right?

Sorry, I was referring to the media in general. I should have specified.

--As it ever occurred to you he might have actually had the flu? Withdrawals can cause flu like issues which sometimes can turn into flu. Did you expect him to go on stage and give a detailed explanation of his health issues? Realize that Charlie Murray was sick and still performing stand up but did not make his illness a part of his comedy routine. He was sick continued to work and maintained his privacy.

Laura, in all honesty sometimes I wonder if you actually read the posts people publish or if you're responding to something else. Did I say he did not have the flu? What I said was that Prince told us not to believe the papers, but the papers merely reported that he had the flu, so why say "don't believe the papers" if you atually have the flu, something totally mundane? What I think is that he antecipated that the papers soon wouls start suggesting an OD because of the Moline records, so he was trying to be one step ahead, as per usual.
