I have a friend whose 22-year-old son has been using since he was 13-14. He has been in rehab multiple times, been jailed for offenses committed while he was using ... He can stay clean for about six weeks on his own (or while in jail) then he is right back to it. Heroin has been his drug of choice. His parents are at a loss - they have tried everything and nothing has worked beyond those six weeks. Their hearts are breaking because they are afraid one day he will die from using.

.

That's awful, and so heartbreaking because as a parent, you feel powerless. All you can do is love them and show you care and try to lead them in the right direction--the rest is up to them.

.

One of my husband's former boss lost his young son to prescription drugs. The weird thing about it was the parents didn't really seem that upset about it; it's like they just accepted he was gone, and that's it.

.

Everyone deals with loss differently.

I agree. I also think that Prince did not know those Vicodin pills were laced with Fentanyl. Seems like he was concerned for his health, which prompted him to get in touch with Dr. Schulenberg on the 7th, so obviously something was worrying him.

didn't Kurt Cobain od in Rome and was saved and then a few weeks later went to a rehab clinic to get clean but then left and committed suicide...my point being maybe he ,Prince, was concerned for his health , or maybe he was just pleasing those around him

.

I haven't followed Kurt Cobain's story very closely, but he seemed to have a strong desire to leave this earth. I think he was in a lot of emotional pain, and didn't care if drugs killed him. Courtney Love wasn't exactly a good person for him to be around, but they say birds of a feather flock together. Those two were like the modern-day Sid & Nancy.

Personally, I NEVER thought of Prince as having a 'people pleaser' personality...he was a 24/7 control freak my-way-or-the-highway dude for 40 years plus...even an OD (or more than one) will not change personality traits and habits ingrained that deep.

I feel you oversimplify Prince a bit too much in order to support your narrative of a tragic hero akin to Macbeth..A dude who had the world, shit on people and then suffered the consequences. This is an oversimplification of the man in my opinion. Just like saying that no one gave two shits about his health, he had no friendships, and his last years were absolute misery with no good times. There was a lot of pain in his life, his friendships were complicated and conditional and somewhat limited, he was compartmentalized like no one I have ever seen, and he could be rather stubborn and difficult but he still had good times, was busting his ass to "please" his fans, could be generous and funny, and had bonding memorable moments with people. He is not some Shakespearean tragic hero stereotype as no celebrity who dies tragically is. . This new information about his last days adds more complicated layers and more tragedy but it doesn't eradicate all of the good things said about him or the good things he accomplished at the end of his life. It hopefully just makes us more weary about some of his associates (and their myriads of motives) and some of the negative trappings of fame and denial. He is not the first famous person to die from drugs and enablers. He won't be the last. But unlike some of these other folks who openly consumed drugs with their enablers, prince kept everyone away when he popped his pills, kept working until the end and compartmentalized his relationships and isolated himself at times to keep people in his life a bit unaware of the extent and method of his usage. He is not even a rocknroll stereotype.

This is the part that just does not add up for me. I guess denial is a strong form of self deception. Although there were signs that something was wrong with his health more than 1.5 years before he died, Prince did not start to get really sick from the pills until about 2 weeks before his death. The fact that the pills were in Aleve and Bayer bottles tells me that he was full aware that they were illegally obtained (not necessarily counterfeit) and that he was trying to hide his drug use from others - who would think twice if you saw someone taking an Aleve.

Kirk also knew that they were counterfeit pills and were the cause of Prince's recent illness because Kirk took it upon himself to doctor shop for Prince to get him some legitimate pills from Dr. S and the dentist. However, he may not have shared his concern with Prince, who continued to take the counterfeit pills. In my opinion, this implies that Kirk was the source of the counterfeit pills.

.

Good points!

.

The fact that Prince did not get into trouble until 2-weeks before he passed, tells us that he may have had a new dealer/source to get the pills. When he overdosed in Moline, he probably had no idea the pills were laced with Fentanyl, and so he took another on the 20th. He was blaming the 2 Narcan shots for his symptoms, and not the pills.

It does seem he did have a few close shaves that were covered up though. Didn't Kirk say in the hospital in Moline " We can't keep doing this"

last night i watched the whitney houston docu "can I be me" and it was pretty much a cliche of the burned out star who supports a leeching entourage, and dies too soon. Very sad, several times, when they spoke about how she supported people, how she had to keep going, I thought of Prince. the saddest part was when a professional bodyguard wrote his report on Whitney, detailing all the drugs she was doing, he reported his findings to the management and he got fired right there, sad as hell.


Ya. That's f***ed up. I'm sure it happens all the time.

Yes, Kirk did say something like that. But then when questioned, he acts as though he didn't know Prince was taking pills or having pain. When he said "Pisses me off that Prince hid it so well."....I mean, come on!! rolleyes

.

The investigators even said a lot of his statements were conflicting. Just can't trust anyone like that, imo.

CNN had this article today. It's almost as if it was written for Prince. sad

"Almost all of the increases in overdose deaths are attributed to illicitly manufactured fentanyl, not pharmaceutical fentanyl that has been misused or diverted. And we know that because the number of prescriptions for pharmaceutical fentanyl has remained relatively stable over the past decade, whereas seizures of illicitly manufactured fentanyl has skyrocketed," LaSalle said.

"So it really is due to illicitly manufactured fentanyl that is entering the market and that is essentially being mixed with heroin so that you have an adulterated product that people aren't aware of, so their risk of overdose increases substantially," she added.

This is the first time synthetic opioids have surpassed prescription opioids -- such as oxycodone and hydrocodone -- and heroin as the primary cause of opioid overdose-related deaths, according to the report.
-----------------------------

In 2016, when 46% of opioid overdose-related deaths involved synthetic opioids and 40% involved prescription drugs, 37% involved heroin, according to the report.


The synthetic drugs are primarily made outside of the country, according to LaSalle.
"Illicitly manufactured fentanyl is almost exclusively made in China," she said. "It's then shipped, broadly speaking, to Mexico, where it's added to the heroin supply before it enters the United States as a cost-saving measure."

After entering the United States, synthetic opioids often end up in places like the Midwest and Northeast, where the white powder form of the drug can easily be mixed with the white powder form of heroin or cocaine.

"In those parts of the country, you have a white powder heroin that you can mix fentanyl into pretty easily," LaSalle said. "Whereas on the West Coast, you have a black tar heroin, which is very difficult to mix the white powder into. So you just don't see the same distribution of fentanyl on the West Coast as in these other places."
------------------

"Initially when synthetic opioids showed up in the US, it was largely mixed with heroin. But now we're seeing it mixed with cocaine, methamphetamines and other substances of abuse. And in the last couple of years we've seen this proliferation of counterfeit tablets that are made to look like commonly abused prescription drugs," Jones said.

"And that's particularly concerning because people who are not regularly exposed to opioids are going to be at an increased risk of the respiratory depressant effects of opioids because they have no tolerance."

Yes Kirk did say that. I know of the one in 2013 where Prince was taken to the hospital. It's listed on the Carver County Prince Investigation site. Maybe there were other incidents that perhaps they didn't call 911, but took him to the hospital instead.

My 1st impression with Kirk's comment was that he may have been saying this in front of Judith because he was trying to make her think that he just then realized that Prince had a problem.

maybe we need some context here, how do we know he didn't mean that he hid it well THIS TIME. MAYBE THE COPS JUST DON'T KNOW HOW SECRETIVE AND COMPARTMENTALIZED OF A MAN P WAS, SO THE CONTRADICTIONS ARE NOT TYPICAL TO THEM

Addiction is a horrible disease. On CNN Sunday night they showed where opiates actually change your brain. The people who were on the show had used medical marijuana to get off the opiates and it worked. Of course several were still against it being used. I had a brother who killed himself due to opiates. Something needs to be done to fight this epedemic. My brother had been to rehab. Sadly accidental or not people are dying. I choose to remember the good about Prince and his music. It was his choice to get help or not. You cannot make a 57 year old man do anything they dont want to do. I pray he is at peace now.

In Moline Prince admitted there was "something else" in the Bayer bottle when Kirk said all he had taked was percocet. They DID take a pill to identify it but they did so by appearance only. They did not test the ingredients in it.



Also, ALL the counterfeit pills Prince had were actually lidocaine. *Some* of them were laced with Fentenyl. There is no real evidence at all that Prince knew they were anything at all but what he expected.

If you read all the interviews you also know that Prince was in denial that the meds were the issue. In Moline he insisted he was just "dreaming" and would have come out of it ok and he stated the Narcan is what messed him up...(also, see Prince's comments about "knowing his own body" and how it reacts to the meds in defense). To Dr S it wasn't the pills making him vomit, it was bad soup, etc...

So, if it seems like people were dragging their feet to get him help, a lot of it is likely because he was dragging his to admit he had a problem. It's not like anyone could force him to do anything and it probably took moving mountains to even get him to take a blood test.



Also he was complaining of tingling and numbness. Lidocaine can cause numbness and the dosage was all off anyway, since it was used to cut the Fentanyl.

The source of the pills was not found. Apparently no one else died from that batch - that they could find. That makes me think he got the pills overseas from a person. If they were on the web, more people probably would have died that they could track. The counterfeits were mixed with the legits, so maybe he topped off his supply recently, before Moline. Drug users have a terrible fear of running out, same as alcoholics.


IMO...Prince had no idea there were bad fentanyl pills and someone else gave him those pills - he had no idea why he felt sick and was trying to figure out the cause...even going to the dr for tests, Fluids etc Then when he came home that night he had taken the meds which seems like he was given those laced pills on purpose.
There was even a text shown from Kirks phone asking how to take the prescriptions he just got...that to me does not fit someone who is addicted to meds...he seemed cautious not careless.

Modern day? You want to feel old? Kurt Cobain died 24 years ago, in 1994. Sid Vicious died in 1979, so there were 15 years between Sid dying and Kurt dying. We are 9 years further from Kurt Cobains death than Kurt Cobain's death was from Sid Vicious'.

Time flies!

Sympathetic Article...

MINNEAPOLIS — After Prince had to be revived from a drug overdose a week before his death, one friend told the musical superstar that he needed to stop taking painkillers. But Prince said he couldn’t — his hands hurt so much that if he quit, he’d have to stop performing.

“This piano tour I think was getting to his hands,” singer Judith Hill told investigators, according to a transcript of her interview.

[Edited 5/1/18 21:43pm]

When I read that text, I was under the assumption that Kirk had seen the doctor for himself also, because he said something to the effect of "am I supposed to take all 3 of these". I believe that Kirk also went a CVS pharmacy before he went Walgreens. The Walgreens trip was for Prince. Of course after reading dozens of pages of transcripts, I could have my info confused on what happened when.

Something needs to be done to fight this epedemic. My brother had been to rehab. Sadly accidental or not people are dying. I choose to remember the good about Prince and his music. It was his choice to get help or not. You cannot make a 57 year old man do anything they dont want to do. I pray he is at peace now.


I'm so very sorry about your brother.
