Prince posted a pic of himself "Chocolate Overdose" in 2015?

Isn't it Ironic that Prince posted a pic of himself back in October 2015 what appeared to be a overdose on Captain Crunch in which he titled "Chocolate Overdose" on his Instagram page?

That's actually a rather eerie photo.... especially given that's almost the exact way he looked when he passed.....

A certain kind of mellow.

No, it's not. At all.
.
AND it's BUNCHA CRUNCH candy, per Danielle Curiel in the GQ article.
Like mini Nestle Crunch bars.
Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me.

In your opinion I guess not, but others will, even with a sense of humour, not too many people post pics of themselves OD'ing on candy and with Overdose in the title! eye hmm

And people say that all the time. What is the point, years of foreshadowing? We're all gonna die.

Your title is pretty open to interpretation but I see where this is going. peace

It's macabre in retrospect, but at the time was likely an example of Prince's sense of humour. That's certainly the way I perceived it when he posted it.

Some have speculated on another thread that Prince might not have approved or co-operated with the picture, but there's zero evidence for this and plenty to the contrary. It's obvious Prince posed for the shot and chose to share it on social networking. In addition, we have the anecdote of how and why it was taken.

I think the “Lyrica” photo was more disturbing.

Lyrica is a pain killer. The look he gave in that photo was part of the dark joke.

Lyrica is a brand name for Pregabalin which according to Wikipedia is medication used to treat epilepsy, neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, and generalized anxiety disorder.

He checks a few of those boxes. I always thought that photo was weird.

Or it is just a variation on the word "lyric" and he wrote lyrics.

I can honestly say I never found the picture funny. But now I am wondering what was going on in his head given he knew what issues he was dealing with, how much of that was him poking at himself.

I'm not sure if this is what you yourself are implying, that's the problem with everybody trying to be so cryptic and vague, short sentences can be interpeted in so many different ways. But I never took that statement to mean "I'm planning on committing suicide soon so wait a few days", I don't even now. I've taken it to mean, however untrue it was, "don't get your panties in a bunch I'm fine".
