Dr. Charles McKay, president of the American College of Medical Toxicology, said generally speaking, the findings suggest Prince took the drug orally, while fentanyl in the blood and liver suggest it had some time to circulate before he died.

So maybe Prince felt something was wrong, wanted to go on the elevator to go down and get help and just collapsed confused

I just would like to know what is meant by "a pretty clear smoking gun." what the heck does that mean? I mean in these circumstances.

I'm sorry fam but (as someone with multiple medical professionals in my family) the numbers in this report SCREAMS suicide. There is no other credible explanation for those numbers. It was an intentional lethal dosage and it just breaks my heart that he obviously felt it was a viable way out of the prison of pain that he was in. I never thought this would have ever been said of him and his death.

I'm hurt in my heart all over again.

"...the findings suggest Prince took the drug orally, while fentanyl in the blood and liver suggest it had some time to circulate before he died."

The numbers are the way they are due to the slow release of the drug in his system. For example, his tolerance level may have been so high that he thought he needed more throughout the day until the release of the drug over time was too much for his body to handle.

I still say, to this day, that what multiple sources have repeated to me: something else was going on that accelerated his use of pain medication.

You're not alone; I'm wondering the same thing about what "a pretty clear smoking gun" means or to what it refers.

If he bought those off of the street, there absoultely is a way to have those numbers. You never know what you are going to get. It's been discussed here many times.

There literally is nothing new here. Just another attempt to recirculate old news. We all knew he died of a fentanyl overdose a long time ago and he had very high levels in his body. It is AP news that they also found it in his liver? The man was addicted at the time. We know this. Stop the bullshit. Time to celebrate him.

No, it doesn't scream suicide. If Prince took the same dosage he normally took of the opoid, without realizing that it was laced with Fentanyl, then he would not have known how much Fentanyl he was injesting. And if you buy opoids on the street, or black market, it's often laced with something, and since there is NO oversight in how it is mixed, you can get one pill that has hardly any opoid in it, and the next pill that would have a fatal dose in it. Prince wasn't suicidal.

I didn't know the results were leaked months ago (or if I did, I had forgotten). I've been staying away from the thread about the investigation because it's just too depressing. Too many people shouting suicide, murder, and everything else under the sun. Analyzing him in every way possible, and ... I just miss him, wish he was still with us, and really don't want to analyze him any more. He's the only one that could give us the truth about who he is, who he loved, what he thought, what he believed, and he's just not here to give that to us, so everything else that anyone comes up with is just conjecture. It doesn't bring him back. It doesn't make me feel closer to him. It doesn't help except to spur on more rumors, innuendos, and opinions. My main interest in this article was that they said they are reviewing the reports and will determine from that whether to file any charges. If someone IS responsible, then I want him to have justice.

How likely is that though? Prince was Prince not Whitney Houston. He had Dr. Feelgoods just like MJ. He wouldn't ever need a street hook up. It's pretty clear to me that he knew what he was doing and practically announced it at Paisley Park that night following the plane grounding.

I think this gives it a more official (kind of) spin, since it was questioned many times long ago whether it was heresay or not about the level of fentanyl found in his system and there were still people questioning on whether it had circulated through his system.

Yeah, people didn't believe the numbers so they kinda brushed it under the rug.

hug I know you didn't, Penny. I was just saying that these numbers are new to me. I hadn't been paying attention to the investigation thread so didn't realize those numbers had leaked.
