And since we're at least thinking out loud that a suicide note could have been stuffed into someone's pocket and not turned over....what about a Will? Does anyone else think it was strange that someone with as many assets as Prince did not have a Will? He certainly had exposure to lawyers and legal battles over the years - surely one of them might have asked him outright if he had a Will in place. And if he did...how easy it would have been to just stuff it in a pocket and deny it's existence. PP was not secure and it seems like at least one or more persons were rummaging around in his personal business (I'm thinking of all those missing emails on the unsecured computer as a starting point). | |

my understanding is that any will drawn up by a lawyer would have surfaced by now bc the attorneys involved would have a legal obligation to come forward. I don't know the criteria (anyone out there?) for a hand-written will in Mn...but I imagine such a document would at least have to had been witnessed and I believe any witnesses would have come forward by now...so we have what we have...a dead Prince, no Will, no real estate planning, greedy relatives, PP turned into a dead rock star tourist attraction, a paltry amount of new music released after 2 years, and a whole bunch of other unpleasant, unforseen things that have haunted his fans....and will continue to haunt them.

No, I don't think there was a will I don't think he was into that. He might have had 1 with each wife, but that's pretty normal when you're married and might be starting a family. [Edited 6/26/18 18:32pm] | |

PP was in the MIDDLE of a RENOVATION to be turned into a MUSEUM!
His WHOLE place was NOT a MESS! "That mountain top situation is not really what it's all cracked up 2 B when was doing the Purple Rain tour had a lot of people who knew 'll never c again @ the concerts.just screamin n places they thought they was suppose 2 scream." | |

I'm with you Penny. There are aspects to this whole thing that just don't seem to fit well. As for the gossip site reveal? I have NO doubt that had he committed suicide and left a note, one of his 'people' would have taken it and not turned it over to the police. I have no trouble believing that for a minute, given all the other tampering that went on. He could have left a note on his laptop, or even composed a email to someone specific. There was definitely a strong reason for the deletions on there. Unless there was evidence and emails to a "dealer" but why they would protect that information I've no idea.

Yes, it was a mess. His private living space wasn't being turned into a museum, so what is the excuse there? Do I expect him to clean it up...no. Meron wasn't doing her job on hiring people to keep it clean. | |

The absence of something, doesn't mean that something isn't in existence.Would you could consider a gunshot wound to the head from playing "Russian roulette" , accidental, or intentional? | |

PennyPurple said:[quote] Here ya go Bodhi. [/quote Do we know which type of pill was found in the bedding? I ask because the water bottle on the nightstand is nearly empty and since the investigation report did not quantify the number of pills that were ingested, it is possible that P poured out a handful (from the Bayer bottle) and one fell on the floor and it took more than one swig to wash it all down. I find it strange that the number of pills ingested was not included in the ME report. | |

Now , all thing being equal, one would consider whether the player in such a game , has played this game before, and is acutely aware that the probability of playing such a game, will eventually result in the end of the game. Is the subsequent result (end of the game) accidental or intentional? | |

Ah, now we're thinking! By all prejudicial accounts, some would have you believe it was one pill and done. Until you understand the feeding habits... Which is as bright as the sun on a clear summer day. The report is designed to show a toxic level, as opposed to a quantitative pill amount to produce that amount. If you notice in the report, she sites an example of the cancer patient changing the patch every 3 hours or so. There are numerous way to ingest Fent. to produce same said effects.She did not equate the amount ingested( # of pills ) to a toxic level number.

That's 2 fold. For example I'm a smoker. I've tried and tried to kick the habit and can't quite get there. Do I know it's bad? Yes. Do I keep doing it. Yes. Do I know it will probably kill me? Yes. I'm not intentially trying to kill myself, and it's not accidental, because I'm clearly a nicotine addict. So I know what will happen, I just can't kick the habit. Sort of like Prince. And like Prince when I go thru withdrawals I say screw it and light one up. He probably thought if it happens, it happens, but didn't think it would happen. | |

Hope we can all see, that so far, Prince is feeding continually even after Moline and pretends to not know why anything is happening. I also don't see anything that resembles that he would not be a combination user of multiple things. The expiration dates stamped on the Bayer and Aleve bottles could possibly indicate (if the dates were recent) when he may have procured the batch of bad pills. Not a scientific conclusion, but I doubt he would transfer pills he's had for a while into new bottles. | |

Taking the statement"if it happens , it happens"... one would have to consider the historicity(of said user), aggregate information, and intent | |

Ruth Azarte, P's manager/assistant said that she talked to P about a will and he shrugged it off. Ruth says she asked P, "Do you know who is going to get everything if you die without a will?" P asked her "Who?" Ruth told him "The government" | |

Penny I think you and I are soul sisters in some way. I was thinking this very thing when I wrote my note earlier today about all the times I've tried to quit smoking, but kept a little secret stash 'just in case'. The addict's brain is a funny thing (speaking as a nicotine addict also). It fools us into thinking we can't bear the discomfort of withdrawals and makes us think "I'll start over again next week" or "it won't happen to me". I get it. | |

I agree. I saw things in those pictures that made me wonder why she wasn't being more diligent about keeping the cleaning staff on track. It's one thing to leave a heap of dried bedsheets on top of your own dryer - quite another to do it in an employer's home when you're being paid. I highly doubt Prince was doing his own laundry, and even if he was, surely someone who was being (likely well) paid, could have put them away. There were a lot of those little things. Not just the filthy bathroom in his own quarters - maybe he didn't allow the cleaning staff in there - who knows. But the laundry room? Mine is cleaner and tidier than that, and I don't have a staff. | |

I'd love to know how the experts settled on 'accidental overdose' - surely they must have more experiential knowledge to go on in cases like this than a missing suicide note since many people just check out and don't ever leave a note. I really do wonder how they arrived at their conclusion. | |

When I was in grad school, I took a course on human dynamics. We discussed the different mindsets and relationships of individuals that were poor, middle class, and rich. The interesting thing about the studies we looked at were poor people that suddenly became rich (such as winning a lottery) did not change their mindsets or the type of relationships they developed. Poor people tended to seek more familial type of relationships. The people they knew were who they knew because they grew up with them. The relationships were familiar, and at times, dysfunctional. Middle class individuals leaned towards family but also had those business type of connections, "What can this relationship provide for me financially?" Rich people were less familial and were more about the connections that could bring them more prestige, more power. [Edited 6/26/18 21:21pm] | |

Well, here's a scientific consideration for you . A very long time ago, the numbers were determined from a toxicology report concerning the amount of hydrocodone in Prince's system prior to his death. Of note, there is no fentanyl in his system for this report , but there is a glaring consideration for the amount of hydrocodone in his system. | |

Yes, I guess I didn't think that through - being such a public figure, any lawyer who prepared a Will for Prince would have come forward by now. Where I live, the lawyer doesn't retain copies of Wills, Personal Directives or Enduring Power of Attorney in the case of death (just had ours done recently). Both copies came into our hands with instructions to give one copy to executor, etc. and the other to be stored ideally in a fireproof safe in the home. I remember being surprised that the lawyer didn't keep a copy in his files. | |

I haven't been able to find this out - when a big hit of Narcan (2 doses for Prince) hits the opioid receptors and wipes the drug out of the system essentially, do people lose their previous tolerances? We know they are thrown straight into withdrawal, but I wonder if the previously acquired tolerance is also wiped out? Meaning that the usual doses, increased steadily over time in order to achieve the desired result, could easily cause an overdose if there was no drug tolerance remaining. Just wondering if anyone knows. | |

[Edited 6/26/18 21:21pm] Your explanation really helps the reasoning why I called him a simple human on A thread a long while ago. That at his basic self he was comfortable with simple, Sparse, watching tv, popcorn, movies. That he was really far less complex at his basic humanity. Not saying his music wasn’t brilliant but it came from a person who was at ease with his basic self. | |
