HOLD UP! Meron said in her statement leaving Paislely at 10:30 pm - 11:00 pm on the eve of 4/20? Didn't reports come out that "someone" dropped him off around 8:00 but he was not seen afterwards???

Just when I thought this couldn't hurt anymore than it aleady does, I made the mistake of scrolling through my FB timeline just now and I saw Prince...PRINCE...MOTHERFUCKERS!!!! Just left on the floor like a piece of garbage soon to be disposed of. The core of my very soul aches.

It really is overboard. Way beyond people's right to know. What about Prince's dignity and people who DON'T want to see all that? There's a fucking Toyota commercial before the video of him going in the clinic - in his hometown paper. Cha-ching. He would be horrified in so many ways. Doesn't that count?

Anyone that says they are downloading the zip files just to see footage of Paisley Park and the Vault is disingenious. I don't care if you want to look, but don't pretend that you spent all those hours downloading and "accidentally" saw Prince, and then come back here to "warn" us. Check yourselves, please.

I'm one of the ones who down loaded the files. I didn't accidentally look at anything, I looked. We are warning the others who don't want to see the video, not to download zipfile 3. If you would rather us not warn anybody, that's fine too.

I had to hear about the Elevator pics heads up from a friend earlier this morning, I'm avoiding social media when it comes to Prince news these days, too overwhelming to handle.

Yet another reason I am one who is interested to read the actual records and compare to the PR spin we have been fed.

You can bet very few in PR actually read.

I've read many of the interview transcripts, and it's interesting that they do provide information about a number of topics that have caused months of dicussion here:

-

The PP security cameras: Kirk claimed they were all deactivated sometime prior to 2009. He alludes to Prince having some issues around being surveilled (there was much discussion here that the cameras were turned off just before Prince's death, which is not true per Kirk).

-

The timing and events in Moline: Per Judith, the doctors implored Prince to get additional testing there to figure out exactly what caused the near-death experience (it took 2 Narcan shots to revive him). They said he could be in danger if they didn't get more info about it. He understood but said he didn't want the testing done there (privacy reasons), so it wasn't done.

-

He told Judith that he had combined different pillw and he wouldn't do that again (perhaps he genuinely thought that is was the particular combination of pills that caused the reaction, and didn't suspect that at least one of the pills was fentanyl-tainted?). She wanted him to promise "no more pills."

-

Per Kirk, they stayed in Moline for several hours only because they had to wait for the plane to be ready. Kirk apparently said something at the hospital that he was surprised Prince was "doing this/did this again" (I'm paraphrasing here).

-

The "serious illness" theory: There's nothing in anything I've read that alludes to Prince having a serious illness like cancer. No one mentions him complaining of anything other than tingling/pain in his hands and leg (he saw a chiropractor in his final weeks) and vomiting. In the interviews the people say he seemed generally healthy, but thinner lately and having the "flu." He had no regular doctor (per Kirk) and Dr S said he had seen Prince only twice (the 2 April appointments).

-

What tests Dr S conducted the day before Prince died (that he was bringing to PP that day): Per Dr S' interview, it was standard blood work (basically what you'd have in a routine physical) and urinalysis for opioids. The only thing notable in the blood work was slight anemia, and the urinalysis did come back positive for opioids.

-

Kirk and Judith imply it was a big step to get Prince to agree to this kind of testing at all.

-

The backward clothes: Judith did mention that he typically wore his tank tops inside out. The clothes he was found in were the same clothes he was wearing the day before.

-

The location of his body: He was found in the elevator. The report says he was moved out of the elevator by the paramedic.

-

What those in the inner circle knew: They (kirk, judith, meron, larry, josh, hannah) were all adament that they had no idea P had a pain-pill problem, at least not until the last days of his life. Judith and Kirk said that in retrospect that did allow them to put some "clues" together (such as P's mood swings). Kirk said that P did say the day before he died that he wanted to 'talk to someone" about helping with his problem. There are a couple allusions (by Omarr and Dr S, I believe) to Mani knowing something about drug use during their marriage.

[Edited 4/20/18 9:17am]

Is it your feeling that Kirk really didn't know he was using drugs, or just acting like he didn't know and staying tight lipped.

He went to his private living quarters which was off limits to them. They stayed and worked.

What? I know you downloaded the files, I was here all last night if you recall. This is not about you. If you read more of my posts, I downloaded some too.

I still stand by what I wrote above. People ran here and reported the same thing over as "news" and "helping us out". Didn't even bother to read one post above theirs.

People have said so much on this forum and half of it that they took for truth, wasn't true.

Yes.

poppys said: I hate it. And no disrespect to anyone but what is the point of downloading this stuff and pouring over all these files? What are you hoping to accomplish? And when someone says “good stuff in there” what do they mean? Juicy gossip? Sad. Sad. Sad. [Edited 4/20/18 8:50am]

i used to work full-time on wrongful death cases in a law firm. i was the person who got the authorizations for release of information and obtained the state trooper accident scene photos, the accident report, incident report in cases involving domestic abuse and/or med malpractice, the autopsy report, medical records, and witness statements. once i was required to watch a video where a woman hanged herself in her prison cell and summarize it for my boss.

it was my job to print the material out, three-hole punch it and stick it all in a binder, then summarize it all for an attorney's review. i can only speak for myself, but the reason i'm reading the witness statements is to see exactly what each person said.

i'm not hardened to this kind of thing but i am able to distance myself from the shock of 'knowing'. it's not fun, and i've apologized to Prince's spirit (as with all wrongful death cases it's a little bit haunty to review this material) but i have to know.

not because i'm rolling around in muck because i think it smells good on me and not because i'm a voyeur, but just to see if i can put the pieces together. i'm good at that, even if it is no longer my official job.

the tragedy is shining through loud and clear.

no one had Prince's back. in the JPEG files some areas of the Park look neglected and in need of a good cleaning. makes me wonder what his staff actually did there. i sincerely doubt some of the parties' statements and it feels like a lot is going unsaid in order to either protect Prince's privacy or those who were involved.

at this point i'm wondering whether the entire file was released to the public to see if ayone out there can shed light on the details which escape the investigators who didn't know Prince's work. or maybe so that a superfan or one of his friends will review the material and connect the dots.

i'm especially intrigued by all of the telephone numbers jotted on bits of paper scattered around. wonder if the numbers were investigated thoroughly and etc.

it's overwhelming so i haven't finished the review yet. maybe this wekend. i love Prince more than ever now and respect him deeply. he was indeed brave and strong.

ps: i think it's really important we all spend time praying, meditating, or whatever on the good things Prince did. his talent and ability, his generous and loving side. to really celebrate his life and not let this release of information overshadow that. just my opinion

Thank you for the warning, in case I do decide, right now I can't. But I still appreciate the warnings.

Where are people getting all the evidence file zips from? I'd love to read the entire case.

Thanks for everything you do here, Penny. Knowledge is power...people shouldn't be afraid of the truth.

I hope everyone is doing okay, after the day we all had yesterday. I have not even seen the documents yet. Yesterday was an extrememly overwhelming and emotional day, to say the least.

.

I am thankful that we have this place, Prince.Org to come and share our grief and give each other support.

.

Last night, before I went to bed, I said a prayer for Prince. If you are not religious or spiritual, you may find it corny, but this is what I said in my prayer:

.

Prince:

.

I am so very sorry what happened to you. I'm so sorry you were in so much pain and suffering. Please know that we all love you, more than words can ever say, and we miss you immensely. Please know that we hold no judgment against you. You are not in pain any longer. You are at peace now. Your legacy is your music, and we will cherish that forever. Thank you for blessing all of us with your wit, charm, talents and beautiful music. You inspired so many people and have touched so many people with your music and your beautiful spirit. Rest in God's eternal love.

Please don't use this post^^ this way, I am not afraid of the truth, there was context in my REPLY to Hatrina.

Last time I checked, Penny and I are cool.

very sweet, Clover...no one in the history of the universe ever got in trouble by taking the high road, sending good vibes out to other souls, proferring forgiveness or being generous with their love.

your beautiful thank you for posting it.

I'm looking at pictures from May, 2016 of the room you enter on the way to the Vault. The floor is covered in Master tapes.... one is dated 4/3/82 and labeled Warner/Prince "Extra Lovable" and " 3 x 2 = 6"... lots of others... and there are lots of boxes, one says "from bedroom". Seems like stuff was being collected from around PP.
