Bassette said: Because of the location; it seems to be a long corridor. I must admit, my mind can drive me crazy, and I am easily worried, so what occurred to me when I saw that jacket on the floor. . . My heart beated double times. Did he try to go outside paisley park? What happened? How did he move? I see...it made me think of the incident when he was withdrawing from Percocet and complaining of being hot without clothes...im not really sure how people act when they are withdrawing on opioids though so I'm not sure what would be normal in that situation | |

Are you talking about the jacket found upstairs on the floor?? If so, that's the jacket he wore on 4/20. According to KJ it was not "normal" for his clothing to be onthe floor. I'm still trying to figure out the proximity in relation to the green bedroom. Is it outside the bedroom? or the upstairs office? It's weird because a pair of black shoes appeared to be on the floor (green bedroom) [will assume these were the shoes he wore 4/20] but the jacket was found on the floor??? He was also found shoeless. Can it be assumed on the eve of 4/20 he was agitated or upset after returning from Dr. S. Takes off his jacket. Throws it on floor. Goes into bedroom. Takes off shoes. Goes into distress. Gets onto elevator??? or Goes into bedroom. Takes off shoes. Goes into distress. Takes off jacket. Throws onto floor. Gets onto elevator??? ... and yet his clothes were on backwards??? [Edited 6/3/18 16:28pm] [Edited 6/3/18 16:30pm] | |

Theo L alluded to this in his recorded statement. He stated that Prince expected those around him to take care of him. Per P it was their job. KJ's cell phone records on day of the ATL trips show he made several phone calls to a man who was the former groundskeeper for Paisley. Were the calls regarding "maintenance" of the grounds??? Maybe. Also, Theo mentioned that KJ at some point sent him a text asking "want to come back" and Theo took that to mean KJ was feeling overhwelmed with his duties. | |

When did she say that she never saw him without make-up? She was his wife, she slept with him. His skin looked amazing until at least 2012, maybe later. I know he wore make-up, but I don’t see how his skin could look that good if he wore make-up while he was sleeping (which is really bad for the skin). . Yes, she was young and a bit naive when they were a couple, but she toured with him while she was his girlfriend and fiancee and she wrote in her book that the only thing he took regularly were vitamin b12 injections. She said that he was not taking painkillers regularly while they were married or when they were together. Perhaps he was not taking painkillers yet. He was in his 30s for most of the time they were a couple. By the time he turned 40 in 1998, their marriage was on the rocks and she was spending more time in Spain.

Not to make this thread a mayte thread but mayte came across very delusional and naive in her book. Her Vicodin was disappearing and prince told her to flush down pills for him in the toilet. Huge red flags that he was addicted to pills back then | |

I'm having a hard time with this conversation about Prince giving his all in a relationship without a clear definition of what giving his all/giving 100%, or 95%, or whatever % in a relationship means. I wasn't there, so I have to take Mayte's word when she writes in chapters 8 and 9 of her book that he was fully committed to her and his grand scheme for marriage and family life from the time he proposed to her (July 25, 1995) until they made the decision to remove life support from Amiir on or around October 21/22, 1996. . From what Mayte wrote in her book, her being the mother of his only child plus their baby that was miscarried, reviewing interviews with from 1995-1997, the Emancipation album, the M (for Mayte) that he added to the , her appearing in more of his music videos than any other woman, and the various songs he wrote about her, it seems that Prince gave more to Mayte in a personal relationship than he did with any other woman. Prince was a musician and he had trust/abandonment/attachment issues as we all know, but he professed his love for Mayte more openly than for any other woman. . Regardless of how much we argue that he gave to Mayte, she wrote in chapter 9 of her book that when it came to their son, exhibited a "solid core of unconditional love". Her writing about him as a father is glowing, quite possibly the most flattering, loving, magnificent descriptions that I have ever read about the man. He was there for every one of Amiir's surgeries. He stayed at the hospital continuously for close to 6 days, going home one time to take a shower. I cannot even imagine how much pain it caused him to lose his beloved, much-wanted child. . Excerpt taken from USA Today article November 12, 1996: . Excerpt taken from UK Hello, December 1996: . Rolling Stone interview, published November 28, 1996:

Unfortunately, what he did not have at the end of his life was his own family, his own wife and children, who could have helped to care for him. Since he did not leave behind a wife or children, his music is his most enduring legacy. Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

Mayte and Shelby were nowhere near P's stratophere or circle in the last year of his life. What bond is Shelby even talking about? I have a tough time belieiving associates these days. I hate to say it. This is not the place to go into my reservations so I will leave it at that.

It's not meant to be a fight. I just don't think it's necessary to dissect what percentage that Prince gave of himself to a significant other and I was trying to explain why I feel this way. . As I wrote previously: I'm having a hard time with this conversation about Prince giving his all in a relationship without a clear definition of what giving his all/giving 100%, or 95%, or whatever % in a relationship means. I wasn't there, so I have to take Mayte's word when she writes in chapters 8 and 9 of her book that he was fully committed to her and his grand scheme for marriage and family life from the time he proposed to her (July 25, 1995) until they made the decision to remove life support from Amiir on or around October 21/22, 1996. . In her book, Mayte wrote very highly about the period of her life from July 25, 1995 to around October 21/22, 1996. This was a happy time for she and . We all know that the man wasn't able to sustain a marriage lasting longer than 5 years. However, can we at least give him some CREDIT for being able to make numerous women very happy either in a romantic relationship and/or a friendship? . For all of the women that he loved and befriended and with whom he worked, NOT ONE WOMAN has accused him of any kind of sexual harrassment or misconduct, which is rampant in the entertainment industry. Seriously, go read some of the things Lala Escarzega has written on her Instagram and Facebook pages about him. Read what Hannah Welton wrote about him following his death. He was a very loving person, but he just couldn't make it work with one woman for the long-haul. [Edited 6/3/18 21:29pm] Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

i watched all the youtube vids with the thousands of pics, i didn't see that messy a place, but then i'm far from a neat freak myself and most of the people around me are pretty disorganized. I didn't see the stained toilet pictures, but i wasn't analyzing any of the hundreds of pics I saw that close. | |

He was doing his own afro and applying his own makeup, which some people have commented on as pasty. So he was not letting anyone close, rather keeping a safe distance. The same with cleaning people. Most likely did not want people snooping around, especially having an addiction and risking it getting out into the public. Plus all the enemas and related issues. It's not really that hard to see.

There are lots of things that affect your blood pressure. Anger, stress,worry, pain, fear to name just a few. I'm sure that he was probably stessed like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs. The Dr didn't note any concerns about it so it must have been of low importance. | |

Something just occurred to me. the other bodyguard (whose name escapes me) stated that when he packed P's bag, all he had was Aleve and vitamin bottles so he couldn't be a drug addict. But didn't people in the reports state that only P packed his own bags. IF he only packed his own bags, how did the bodyguard know that there were Aleve and vitamin B bottles in there? Did P actually have people packing his bag at some point? Or is it possible that the other bodyguard was acting like he was naive about what was in those bottles when he supposedly saw them while packing because he knew exactly what was in those pills and gave them to PRince himself (upon request?)

Not to get off topic. But whatever happened to Shelby's husband? I saw one pic of them together YEARS ago. Then he disappeared never to be seen with her again.

In Ray Roberts statement to LE he stated: "I stayed late (4/20) to do extra cleaning in "Ray's" kitchen". There was "Ray's kitchen and there was a kitchen deemed "Prince's kitchen". Neither were CLEAN in my opinion.
I would also like to add:
When looking at the photos you have to keep in mind that there are photos taken on 4/21 by CCSO. That is the most accurate photos of PP at the time of P's demise. It didn't appear to be in really bad disarray, just not deep cleaned by a housekeeper which was MB's job to oversee and insure was completed. The Photos taken 5/10 and 5/11 were taken by the FEDS. When those photos were taken 19 days had passed and there was fairly heavy traffic through PP by then. Packing up and discarding of personal items, ect. You see the photos when each room was entered prior to their search ,during and after the search of each room with evidence being placed in the gray bags. Some of the issues in this case are due to the fact that PP should have been secured until a thorough and complete investigation was conducted and that the case should not have been based on assumations or incomplete stattements from witnesses. The fact is that PP was turned over to "the family" before an investigation was completed. There inlies the issue. I have said this before, you CANNOT go back. Things were moved, trashed, possibly taken, planted, ect. by the time the FEDS obtained a search warrant. PP was no longer pristeen due to contamination. Either way you look at it that is a true and fair evaluation of the case.

Hey Penny, I didn't post the above statement, but you are right. I completely forgot about the script.
I didn't think much of the elevated blood pressure due to my thinking that stress would have been a part of the causation. | |
