Thank you for this Menes. I'm a newcomer, so please bear with me if some of what I might say seems naive or redundant (I'm sure after 10 parts, it's all been said already). I've been waiting until the thread got back on track before jumping in. Prince was of my generation so his music was part of my life at certain times. Never a huge fan, never went to a concert, so certainly would never claim to 'know' the guy. But the death investigation is very intriguing to me, especially what you have to say about the drugs.
I don't believe he started dabbling late in life. I don't believe it started with hip pain (in fact, as someone mentioned not long ago, he didn't appear to be limping at all during his visit to KJ's doc the night before he died - never even mentioned hip pain). I don't believe opiate addicts are unable to function. I do believe he died of an overdose, not a suicide or a murder. I think it got away from him and as you say in your post, there is something hinky in the investigation reports about the drugs themselves. I'm not sure what to make of it, but the points you raise are only a few of the things that I found very jarring in those reports.
I was most interested in the behaviors and actions of his paid staff at PP (Kirk, Merone, in particular). Maybe I will ask my questions about all of that at a later time when some of you feel up to answering them for the 1000th time! I found the poor condition of his home very revealing - I'm sure he was paying someone very well to take care of it. He was no casual user treating pain - he had a lot of drugs stashed in his home in some very odd places (like the jewelry box - why...an emergency hidden stash just in case of a forced rehab or worse, a visit from police or some such?).
I thought it was interesting that several half-pills were found. Was he trying to wean down? Or was he bumping up a little at a time? He was (seemingly) trying to counteract the sedative qualities of the pills with the 5-hour energy shots - did he miscalculate? For sure the Narcan would have put him straight into withdrawals and like many addicts, he may have been too stubborn (or too stupid, frankly) to realize he couldn't step back into his usual dosage. And that's not even taking into consideration that some of his stash was tainted with fentanyl (with or without his knowledge). One thing I have known about drunks and addicts in my own life is that they cannot be told...they ALWAYS think they know best.
Did he purchase drugs himself, personally? I think that's a bit unlikely. Just as unlikely that Kirk, after decades of working with/for him, claimed no knowledge. I believe it was mentioned in one of the reports that he had to request 'petty cash' from Phaedra to give some gifts of cash. Do we really think he was using his debit card online with a dealer?
As to all the reports regarding his death, like I said, I have many thoughts and observations after reading them, but will save that for a later conversation if anyone is willing to engage. I just wanted to take advantage of the lull in the sidelined discussion to bring forward a few of my thoughts on the death investigation.
Thanks for listening! And thanks Menes for your observations...I'm a bit unsophisticated where drugs are concerned so I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at, but it's interesting as hell!

Hi again Menes - I've seen you say similar things before. They echo many of my suspicions about what really happened that night/day. Much of what was contained in the police reports (based on info given to them by the staff) simply doesn't pass the smell test IMO. Please don't go too far in to the bat cave, I find your thought processes fascinating and I'd like to know more.

funny you should mention bruce lee, i just got a new bio on him, and I'm reading how his father was an opium addict, a bad one, lost a lot by getting hooked, finally quit when he was bribed by police to not give him legal problems, chinese people have a thing with "face" a thing we are more likely to call "shame" anyway, it sounds lie a horrible addiction and he quit it with a rough two week stint, i thought of Prince and thought "well, it was doable". Bruce, ironically, always hated seeing his father hooked yet he turned around and became reliant on hashish to relax him, sometimes we can fall into traps even when we see them clear as day. | |

you do sound vague and it's very difficult to follow what you're saying. - You've implied many many times that there's something very telling about the distance between the elevator and locations where pills were found, but have never expanded about why that is. - Rather than asking again about the distance between those 2 points, why dont you tell us what that distance is and why you feel that's important?

Can you spell it out for us? | |

see, that's one reason we can figure shit out, we don't really know that much about this stuff. I've asked before if Prince would have had time from the moment of the pill intake to realize he was in trouble, i've heard that he would not but no one here can confirm that because none of you seem to have any expertise. so..., if he would have only had a few seconds, wouldn't it make sense that he got on the elevator first and then took the pills? rather than realized he was od'ing and tried to get help? if you only have a couple seconds you ain't making that far, not even out of his room probably unless he does a carl lewis. And even then, you'd think he'd try to get to a landline, not an elevator. those are the things that make me think it was suicide. | |

[Edited 6/18/18 21:14pm] I wonder if Menes believes as I do, that Prince didn’t die in the elevator at all? How’s that for a conspiracy theory? Just a strong intuition on my part, combined with bits and pieces in the investigative reports that don’t make any sense. | |

Nola, I will respond in kind. You mention many things that are overlooked by those who seem to be in the "know". We may not agree on whether it is suicide or murder, but they are subtle cues and clues. I have been resistant to revealing all, and as it is, I appear to be a transient who traffic in vague information to some. I admire those who seek. Moreso, I crave a challenge. | |

none of it does, i also think it's possible some of his people tried to move him out, maybe a female (like Meron) realized she couldn't move him, just abandoned him in the elevator maybe thinking he was already dead. a real investigative, forensic team might have done a better job, the local yocals seem pretty lame. That's right, i said it, come at me fuckers. | |

His death may have taken longer than seconds as the Fentanyl seemed to travel to his liver.

Suicide makes the most sense to me as well for a myriad of reasons I mentioned earlier. Some of his associates have hinted or implied that they are starting to think that as well. Some of the associates pushing for conspiracy theories have kind of shut up...I believe they are starting to think the same thing. I think even Tyka might think that--after all, its the older siblings going after Walgreens and the doctor.

How long have you been here? Your friend Strawberry( poor misguided soul) claimed that you have been here when we first started discussing his death. If so, you should have intimate knowledge of many of the things I , and the others , have put forth. I don't know all, but I know more than your friend. That may not be saying much. Didn't she spell it for you... you know , the murder business? | |

It was in his stomach and liver. Maybe, he took it more than once that night, but the first dose wasn't enough to kill him and the second dose starting to hit the liver, coupled with what was already in his liver did the trick. If it took long enough for him to walk to an elevator, it would have theoretically taken long enough to for him to get down the elevator. How far away from his room is the elevator. Maybe, he just waited it out in the elevator. We have no idea how long he was in there. Plus, there was no reason for him to not grab a landline and call. One would think if he had the presense of mind to go to an elevator, he would have the presense of mind to make a call. An elevator seems like a really odd decision and a real symbolic one as well...Jesus, his most famous metaphor contains an elevator.

I'm confused -- I'm not the one insisting it's important; you are. So why don't you share what you've found (and what you conclude about it) instead of falling back on cryptic language and demanding that others research for you?

I first starting posting on the org in 2004 but stopped following Prince/ the org around 2009 or 2010....when I heard Prince passed away I rejoined . I haven't had the time to comb through all pages of this thread. Even if I did , there are so many conflicting statements and a lot of them are all so cryptic so it is all difficult to decipher. I haven't read the whole investigative files but most of it. It does seem like people who know are omiting information. I found the thing KJ told Kim Berry was confusing and the Romeo bodyguard said Prince NEVER used that elevator. Are you trying to say Prince died in his bed and someone dumped him in the elevator? | |

we do not know how many pills he swallowed and where he was located when he swallowed them. For all we know he tossed a few pills in his mouth and swallowed them while he was stepping into the elevator.

Figure it out. Where were the pills found? Where is the elevator? Addicts feed where they feel most comfortable. Hide. Can you ingest that much fentanyl and be cognitive ?It was quite a bit. Per the ME reports, measure the amount of fentanyl (injected) vs the amount of fentanyl measured that he swallowed ( via pill form) to support any reactionary measures( specifically ,consciousness). Was there enough time to make a logical decision to enter the elevator ? At some point, we have to understand what is happening once he ingested the deadly substance. This is the starting point. We can't keep going around and around, or, avoiding something like the investigation did. | |

Menes, seriously, if you don't want people to "keep going around and around" instead of focusing on the things YOU insist are critical, then YOU need to explain why, in standard English, these things are critical rather than berating others and demanding that they "research it" and "figure it out." - Because I've looked at the facts plenty and I don't see the importance of what I think you're alluding to (although I'm not certain due to your incrutable language). So convince me.

No frankly, I don't "see" (I've made this exact comment before, in fact, the last time you brought up this cryptic implication that there's some grave significance to the distance of his body from the location of his bill bottles). If you're not interested in engaging in a discussion using standard english and without the tiresome crytic-ness (an epidemic here, unfortunately) then I can't be bothered. I've posted many, many, many posts with my own research and theories; I'm not going to take on yours.

Sure, that is reasonable. My suicide theory is just that -- a theory. and it is not just based on the location of his body. He could have just taken the pills on accident because he was in denial or confused about which ones he just took...Sure, that is reasonable..I admit. But other actions and statements of his (along with his sister's accounts of his cryptic messages) are making me theorize that suicide is not far-fetched. Regardless, throwing caution to the wind due to an addiction is the long version of gradual suicide anyhow if you think about it.

Yes, taking all things into account, suicide is very much in play. An accident is also in play, just as much. | |

I think we need professionall assistance (MD) to assist us with determining how long it takes for a drug like Fentanyl to reach the liver from the time of ingestion.
And, to clarify the vomit, I believe it was found near the control panels. (I read the reports weeks ago) | |
