I think someone else should handle that because it will be an exhaustive search to cross check all of that information . I fell off the wagon a few times doing the warrants. | |

Prince survived other bouts with pain, drugs and thinness...(see 2009). They might have figured they had time to figure it out and that he would survive again. I am not going into sinister thoughts unless I have to beyond a reasonable doubt. Mekure is the one I question the most because she was new, the most evasive and self-protective. And was the one dealing with his numerous emails.

You notice how much acceleration "The Opiod Crisis" got after Prince passed. No judgement here. It's almost like he gave his life for us to have serious conversations about
In a way, Prince went through the wall so many others could jump over it. Peace be with you Prince

I also find THIS extremely ODD
In the middle of a text conversation with Schulenburg Kirk Accidentally sends a picture of the some back stairs, Im assuming somewhere in Paisley..
Firstly....Accidentally sending a picture ..well He was obvioulsy sending that picture to someone else coz it take s a few steps to forward a picture from your phone...Its not like you can accidentally forward a picture to anyone with great ease... so it was Accidentally sent to the wrong number...so he obviously was intending to send it to someone...
Secondly why would Kirk send that picture to ANYONE especially at the time he is engaged in conversation with a Doctor?
It makes it seem like he was showing someone they way to ???
I dont know...maybe Im overthinking...but you cant accedentally send a picture from your phone.. You CAN send it to the wrong person though

But she's not the one making any statements that would directly place her in a position to have foreknowledge of anything. As you stated , she was new. Perhaps naive, but certainly not a wayward and blatant disregard for things she may have known for years. Big difference. | |

YUP, almost 2 years ago I called it 'Greek Tragedy-Chanhassan -style' and that description seems even more true today. His blood relatives (among others) had no use for him save as a meal ticket and the knowledge that he controlled practically unimaginable assets for decades must have driven them nuts. Decades ago during the height of the AIDS crisis, people demonstrating for more research dollars held signs saying "Silence=Death".....All of you 'inner circle' Prince collaborators, family members, business associates, 'friends', lovers...think about it and what you might have done differently...if you had a soul. | |

I am sure they did think about what they might have done differently. Beyond their self interest, there is a quality of life issue here. the man was in pain and could not give up what he loved the most, what sustained him and made him what he was. How do you force him to live in pain without the thing that gave him a reason to live. He wasnt taking drugs for shits and giggles. It almost like people with food addiction. You have to eat. I think he probably had an off and on again problem that no one thought would result in a drug that strong being in his system *even the person picking the counterfit pills up might not have known. Prince kept people in their compartments and excised people (through avoidance, walls, and sometimes firings) from his life almost rendering them incapable of helping. But it must be said that Kirk was arranging for help. Who else can say that? People left because they didn't want to "enable" but someone needed to stick around and find a way to ween him off while concerning themselves with his wishes and quality of life.

We've all had two conversations going on at the same time, maybe he was talking to one of his kids, the doctor and someone else at the same time. I that situation when you're texting several people at once you can send a picture to the wrong person....BUT now tht you mention it, it's an odd picture to be sending in the first place. Empty stairs? Was texting the Cornfeld guy from CA and giving him directions? Lot's of speculation on my part. ~DD55 | |

It is confusing. I thought it was that the pills that killed Prince, the counterfeit Vicodin containing Fentantyl, were in Alieve, Vitamin bottles etc. It is just an ugly situation.

Her newness is the very reason Prince might have used her to procure drugs. She wouldn't know all the past incidents or how to read his behaviors. She would be easy to manipulate.

If I'm following your train of thought correctly, you suspect Meron (last name Burke....are you just cleverly combining the two to get "Mekure"?) was fielding Prince's dark web opioid purchases? Personally, from info gleaned reading through various interviews, I don't doubt that Prince was managing to procure his stash w/o the assistance of anyone. I feel he had the wherewithal to manage this all by himself. After all, through his own sheer willpower, he was a man who usually succeeded in obtaining his every heart's desire. However, if we're going there, I still say the Chaka/Fentanyl connection is interesting.

Greek Tragedy - Chanhassen- style. Indeed it is so. In essence, this man was literally dying a preventable death in front of many eyes for years. This wasn't a week of observation and silence ,but rather, years. Is this the equivalent of abandonment? When you're as estranged from his family as he was, who was he going to ask for help? There must have been some intense form of disconnect between everyone that saw and Prince. The question is, was this the norm? As in, if I don't ask, don't help? | |

This article is difficult to read.
Very difficult.
Crystal Zehetner, Prince’s personal chef and business manager from 2010 to 2012, said he would often complain about hip pain, and that “everyone knew Prince was addicted to pain pills.” Anyone who worked closely with him who said otherwise was “lying,” she told one officer
Nothing will change that...NOTHING. | |

It doesn't necessarily mean Kirk was "lying". He might have meant that he didn't know Prince was back on pills again and had found a way to procure them himself. Like i said earlier, KJ obviously made some mistakes and was secretive and loyal maybe in a ill=adviced way. But he was the one calling his doctor (a doctor who never seemed to prescribe more than what was needed for pain and withdrawal), carrying P off the tarmac, expressing concern to others, and arranging for rehab. Those who left because they didn't want to enable him were admirable but they had to know that P would just hire someone new everytime an employee caught on to something odd. Sticking around to find a way to help and still insure his quality of life and his dignity could not have been easy.

Well, I think you may have incidentally " gone into sinister thoughts" and attached a name to such thoughts for good measure. Oh, and lest I forget, beyond a reasonable doubt at that. lol. | |

I have never ONCE in two years said Kirk was lying. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I never said you were saying that. I assumed that that chef was alluding to Kirk because Kirk had told the cops that he didn't know about the pills until the overdose but started to suspect it around April 7th. What kirk said in Molene (not to cops but to the doctors) seemed to indicate that he was discovering that P was up to his drug taking again. Someone made a good point in that article, they said it can be hard to tell if painkiller addiction is going on. New employees might just think the man was irritable. Kirk might have seen the ups and downs of his addiction and wasn't absolutely certain the pills were a problem again until the two weeks before but started to suspect. There are lots of reason someone can act depressed or irritable...Pain in and of itself will do that. The reality is that P was too active and at his workaholic ways to be constantly doped up in a clearly obvious way.He had a history of drug problems but it doesn't mean he was existing in a drug-induced stupor for 10-12 years. He functioned.

Good point. But I am just saying that she seemed the most nervous to answer any questions.

In the transcripts Dr. S said the Clonidine is used to treat high blood pressure, but it is also used to treat withdrawels and that is why he prescribed it to P, for withdrawels. | |

Prince’s Friends Fiercely Guarded His Privacy, Complicating Overdose Investigation Source: https://www.nytimes.com/2...ation.html . Excerpt: "But the hundreds of pages of investigative documents released by the Carver County Sheriff’s Office did pull back the curtain on Prince’s intense reliance on his intimate circle of friends and employees, as well as their desire to protect him, as demonstrated by Mr. Johnson’s behavior in Moline. In their limited statements to investigators, those closest to Prince in his final years said that the depths of his opioid addiction had been largely concealed from them until his final weeks when they rushed to save him." . "Those who had been close to Prince in earlier days told investigators a different story. An ex-wife, a former business manager, a past tour manager and Sheila E., a longtime musical collaborator, each told police that Prince had used prescription painkillers for many years, both discreetly and with a sense of shame. They said Prince had relied on a small network of people to obtain medication while maintaining his privacy." . "This seeming contradiction — with some of Prince’s associates saying they were aware of his long struggle with pain medication, but others saying they had no idea until the very end — ultimately frustrated investigators." . "Manuela Testolini, Prince’s wife from 2001 to 2007, told police that Prince often used narcotic pain pills during that period to manage his bodily aches. Sheila E. said that Prince had always wanted to hide how much pain he was in. Years ago, she told police, people working for the singer would obtain prescriptions for him in their own names to protect his privacy." ....... I have not read the documents from the Carver County Sheriff's Office yet. However, to my knowledge, this NY Times article is the first one to report that Mani stated that Prince used painkillers regularly during their marriage.

It seems to me that Prince took Vicodin on and off when he needed to in able to perform. He did not buy them through normal channels because he wanted to protect his privacy. Unfortunately this led him to buy pills laced with fentanyl. No mystery really. The wooh is on the one! | |

Joshua Welton described Prince's inner circle at the time of his death as "very, very, very, very, very tight" — including Johnson, assistant Meron Bekure and the Weltons. He said he had seen little of Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, in recent years. "He's made comments like you guys are more family to me than my blood relatives," Welton said. | |

Reading these things that have come out, the fact that his hands were hurting so bad and him feeling that is why he couldn't stop taking the pills, that he wouldn't be able to perform -- the ultimate take away for me is that he lived, and died, for his music. And while I have felt blessed and thankful that I got to see his last two performances, this is now colored with feeling guilty and ashamed that the last performances may have lead to this tragic ending. And I just don't know how to feel about those last performances any more. | |

Who erased all the emails on his laptop? There was no need to protect P as he was deceased.IMHO whomever did that was trying to protect themselves. Until the end of time | |
