WAIT... if you're trying to connect the soup made by the chef to statements made by Prince to Dr. Schulenberg then you've got some wires crossed on the timelines. The bisque soup was not delivered until AFTER Prince had come back from seeing the Doc.

Yes, Prince told the Doc he had vomited earlier in the week and blamed it on some soup but that's not the same soup.


Also, I looked at some later photos from 4/21 and the meal is missing from the table we see it at in the video. So perhaps Kirk or Meron had set the meal out for Prince to eat the evening of 4/20 and whoever cleaned up later in 4/21 sat the food back in the fridge.

And why would whoever be allowed in paisley on the 21st, and then be allowed to clean anything, sounds like some of the whoevers spent the next few days cleaning up...so to speak

Yes, there was some benign cleaning like putting the meals away (on the 21st) and some not so innocent cleaning (on the 23rd) deleting virtually all of Prince's emails and who knows what else.

Prince was in denial about what made him vomit, clearly.

His denial and not seeking help...it's what caused his life to end as a Greek tragedy, Chanhassen-style.

Right... it wasn't the pills, it was the Narcan. It wasn't the pills, it was the soup... Sadly, that fits into a greater pattern of Prince's that something was always somebody else's fault.

There's no doubt Prince had a major problem and it needed to be dealt with... but to be practical, to look at it from Prince's POV: He probably rationalized it away with the idea that he'd been taking these pills for years and rarely had *what he would consider* a problem...or maybe he thought the tradeoffs were worth the ability to perform without pain - not knowing that NONE of the pills he was currently relying on were what they claimed to be and that SOME of those pills had something in them to kill him.

If he'd only allowed them to do blood tests in Moline, they would have dicovered there was Fentanyl in them.

How Omarr would know about this, I have no idea.

Prince stopped talking to people he knew but all the people around him didn't stop talking to each other it seems.

Setting aside what the ME stated, do you believe this "greek tragedy" is the result of an accident, or is it a personal failing that lead to something intentional?

Not disputing P's personal perspective.

Hospitals usually only test for opiates, not Fentanyl or Oxy or Hydrocodone, all of which are opiates. P had what he thought were Vicodin (Hydrocodone). The opiates test would've been positive. P would've assumed it was the Vicodin. So would the ER, if they even cared which kind of opiate it was. P still wouldn't have known it was fentanyl unless he was already of it.

Thanks for the link...and according to the link, the very first sentence states “as soon as the heart stops beating, the body IMMEDIATELY starts turning cold..known as the ‘death chill’ “.

There were 2 people who stated P was still “warm to the touch”- AK and 45 minutes later, the 1st responder. (Even if he was the same ambient temperature of 75 degrees...as opposed to 98 degress basal thermal temp- that is COLD, and not “warm to the touch “)

AND if rigor starts in as little as 2 hours, there is a possibility that P was still alive while the 3 amigos were casually chowing down on breakfast.

As far as the body cooling... the fire Chief said Prince was still warm but was unsure if that was because he had just recently stopped breathing OR because of the ambient temperature in the elevator. I got the impression from the statements that it was relatively hot in the elevator.

A body with a temperature of 75 degrees does not feel warm, I think they said it was 75 degrees in paisley...

THis is correct

There is a part in someones statement thats says the heating was turned up and that Princes face was moist.

They goes on to describe how kirk took them to the heating thermostat and showed him how to open it and turn it down.

Ill try and find it

Ok, I see that now thanks. Frederick, a paramedic they interview (which seems to have come with the ambulance and brought the cot) gives a slightly different viewpoint.

Menes, my opinion is that the accidental fentanyl overdose was a product of decisions that he made to (a) live in denial of what was happening to him and to (b) not seek help until it was too late. It's hard to prove 100% whether the death was accidental or suicide, but I believe that it was accidental. Although he was struggling with his pain, was lonely, and possible depressed, I feel that he did have things and people for which to live. He had his memoir, more tour dates, the Welton's new baby, mentoring his proteges and mentees, and so forth. Also, suicide went against his faith. I think his death was an accident.

It was Kirk showing the Detectives the thermostat. and how to turn it down.

If we look at the numbers and do the math, it states that body temp drops 1.5F per hour. So even if Prince had been dead the full 6 hours indicated by that time, his body temp could still be as high as 89.6. ...and this ignores that the ambient temp of PP in general may have been lower than the temp inside the elevator which was alluded to I believe.

It says rigor begins within 2 to 6 hours after death. AK, KJ, and MB were eating between 8-9 so no it doesn't seem possible he would have been alive at that point BUT Should they have gone over as soon as AK got off the plane like he wanted? YES...

Also, it's important to note that neither at Moline or while talking to Dr. S. did Prince really complain about physical pain in any noticable way. There's a tingling/numbness mentioned and he tells Judith his hands hurt BUT the old narrative some were pushing that his pains were becoming too great to bear doesn't seem to hold, imo. He was still a functioning addict and might even still be one today if not for the unknown introduction of Fentanyl into the situation.

Also, his depression and wanting to sleep were a very recent and suddent development if we go by what Judith says... and mostly comes from the time they were together for the last concerts... that could have been brought on by those drugs too.

Yes, this is just part 2 of the Investigative reports, it looks like. There is another 113 pages in part 1 plus other files for interview transcripts, emails form Prince's computer, etc...


...and I must say, it was suprising to see that Judith Hill was still sending emails to Prince's address in May '16 and it was heartbreaking the one included in the report.

Yeah, I still think he was already gone by 6AM but I'm liking the scenario less and less the more I think about it...

jtfolden said:

But we do not know what his body temperature was when they found him, right. One of the responders said they thought he still felt warm which is why they tried to resuscitate, right?...so I am guessing the ME is the one that gave the time of death window?...time of death is very hard to determine with totally accuracy that is why there is always such a big window of possibility to a death that was not witnessed, really time of death is an educated guess
