LoveGalore said: It's been pointed out several times on this thread that the (fake) pills found at PP were widely inconsistent in the amounts of fentanyl - some had none, some had hydrocodone, some only lidocain, some a mix. Also, they did not test every single pill from each bottle afaik so there's no way to know. There was no way for him to know how much fentanyl was in each. And he also made a statement that he thought what he was feeling in the hospital in Moline was after effects of Narcan, not an OD. I do not believe he would have intentionally ODd in front of Judith, either.



Some very good points here. Thanks.



Ok the pills had widely inconsistent amounts, some had none.



Yet, at death the amounts of Fentanyl in his body were 67.8 mcg in his blood, 435mcg in his liver and 14,000mcg in his stomach. So he took quite a lot of pills to have such an amount in his body given that some had none and the amounts were widely inconsistent. In a previous post I estimate that it was between 25-50 pills in a very short period of time a week after overdosing and after 6 days of no overdose. That is no accident. That is intent.




The police did send the pills for testing for the amount but the information was never released. So yes we are left to speculate on that.



And he also made a statement that he thought what he was feeling in the hospital in Moline was after effects of Narcan, not an OD.



I have read the police files numerous times and have never come accross such a statement. Can you advise where you got this information. I would like to know.



I do not believe he would have intentionally ODd in front of Judith, either.



You wouldn't think that he wouldn't, but that is what he seems to have done. He put her through a lot and she needs lots of love from Prince fans.

There's no way to know how many pills he took but it's generally accepted that it wasn't a multitude since the levels were so different. This has been stated numerous times in this thread. There has been nothing released that states he took that many pills.

The info is from the information in the police reports for Moline - iirc it was Judith who stated he told her this.

And no I will continue to believe that he would not kill himself in front of someone he loved. That's just cruel.

If you can accept he had an addiction to/was dependent on opiates, yes. It happens quite frequently. Chronic pain is horrible - it effects one's emotions, thoughts, basically everything. I can't imagine what it would be like to have to play music like he did & be unable to do so without pain. I don't believe he knew how strong the pills were - he blamed the Narcan for how he was feeling, not the pills. If he was an addict, taking the same pills for pain would be considered typical behavior - there are tons of stories of people who ODd & went right back to it.

Someone I know in EMS has treated one person FOUR times in a 24hr period with Narcan. Addicts (and I don't believe Prince was an addict, but he was dependent for pain control) know what will happen and still go back to it.

Thank you for sharing experience of EMS person you know!

One question: are you saying that you think that all the people who raised concern* over the years were wrong?

* that is, concern that to continue opiate use in current manner/levels was a net negative for Prince?

I kind of glanced through all the theories, posts, etc., and it just hit me just how sad all of this is. No matter what happened, Prince isn't here, he's gone. We'll never be able to feel the excitement of a new concert, a new album, or speculate on what he is going to do next.

No matter how it happened, all anyone has is speculation. What we do know is Prince died of a fentanyl overdose, reportedly by the ME, an accidental overdose. That is what we know, all we know. We do not know Prince's state of mind. He seemed fine a week earlier at the Atlanta shows. He was upbeat. He was joking with the crowd. The only thing that I noticed that night was that his color seemed a little off and it could have been the lighting. Other than that, he was laughing, he was teasing, he was cute and he was endearing and now he's gone.

I do not believe Prince committed suicide, because that would go against his religious upbringing. And anyone that knows Prince, knows how much God meant to him. No way would Prince have jeopardized his soul. But that is MY speculation (and my belief), and until someone presents solid evidence to the contrary, I will hold that it was an accident.

But all this other speculation on who he loved "forever" and how heartbroken he was....I've been heartbroken. I would not have been able to get up on stage and "fake" happiness and laughter, no matter what, if I were heartbroken. In the first show after Denise's passing, you can tell that it hit him hard that night. But that melancholy did not stay with him.

Everything else is speculation. And this is what it has come to. People speculating about Prince's life, his love, his death. After the Moline incident, when people were calling Prince, when fans were messaging him on twitter, when news reports were coming out, he posted one thing: that he was listening to the song Controversy from The Ultimate Prince CD. He hated all of that speculation. And none of it will bring him back.


Thank you for this. It's sad that "what would Prince think" doesn't seem to apply to gossip about his health. sad

My main motivation for showing up on this thread comes from things like the following:

-- people (not just here, but in many other places as well) using slurs

-- people trying to divide the enormous number of people with substance use disorder into an artificial binary of "good" and "bad"

In reality, there are myriad human stories. To attempt to divide people by a false binary dehumanizes. Any truths are in individual stories.

I appreciate Benni's above reminder about Prince's post. On a different subject, Prince may well have bought into some of the attitudes I described above. Many people do. I'm sorry if you think I fail to honor Prince, or anyone else, by not honoring such thoughts. If Prince felt unduly ashamed, then I think that's terribly sad, and I wish that weren't so. Prince gave so much to this world. I hope the future can be different for artists, and all others, who suffer from these conditions.

To define with slurs, and with artificially simple “good person” vs. “bad person” distinctions, is to invasively impose on people's lives.

It may be true that people go right back to the same pills, but prince didn't actually reap the benefits of the pills to note whether they worked or not and he had tons of alternatives.

Prince was unconscious within minutes of ingesting they Bayer bottle pills. Again, it would require a lot of ignorance for Prince to go back to those pills not knowing what was in them but knowing they nearly killed him especially when he had two or three other kinds of painkillers around.

What would Prince think? He once wrote a song making fun of Elvis dying of a drug overdose "butt naked on the floor". Then he proceeds to die in an elevator with backwards clothes on.

I think Prince would be embarrassed as shit if he had to answer for what happened to him, but only if it meant he'd be returned to his body somehow. If there is an afterlife and Prince is there, I don't think Prince gives one tiny bird shit about what people on Earth do because he reached the place he was dreaming of since he was a child.

The ego and pride attached to terrestrial concerns is only a matter for the living.

It kills me when people argue about the logic of it all. Addiction or dependency, whatever word one chooses to use, it's all the exact same chemical reaction to the body, overrides logic every time, it all comes down to that primary need. I'm still surprised no one outside the fanbase has officially specified what pain he was daaling with. Okay there's his interview that mentions his hip. That's it. Anything others have said they seem to have back peddled on.

No one knows which bottle/bottles he took the last pill(s) from. You cannot prove he took more from the Bayer bottle anymore than I can prove he didn't.

There's also no way to prove exactly how much, if any, fentanyl was in each pill - we only have an off the record statement. It said only specific amount of pills were tested from each bottle and they all had different amounts of different medications.

Pictures from great moments can be posted saying “this isn’t the face of suicide”. But what about pictures of him in pain/fearing for his secret to get out/fear of detox and going thru rehab/feeling the depression JH spoke about/etc etc. we don’t see those pictures although there’s plenty showing him worn out and gaunt.


I think that he was overwhelmed by it all, knew he had strong pills and decided peace would be better than pain. Especially since it sounded like he felt his job on earth was done. I don’t think it was some long, drawn out decision. If it was suicide, I think it was a fairly quick decision made because of all the issues listed above. That’s a tough road under good circumstances, let alone when you are in withdrawal or whatever was going on physically when he told Kirk the pills weren’t working.

But that’s just my opinion.

If he'd been taking those pills in whatever, the bayer bottle, for a day or 2 with no ill affects until the Moline incident, why would he suspectthe any of pills would kill him? And we have no way of knowing if he took a pill, 2 or a half one from that same bottle after the Moline incident. We only assume he didn't. It's been said a trillion times if it was said once, all the pills had varying degrees of fentanyl and a host of other meds. Seems that if he took pills from that exct same bottle that didn't have lethal doses of fentanyl but a tiny amount some days he probably was noticing he wasn't feeling as much pain versus the pills that had the weaker hydrocodone in them that Kirk got him.

Well we could paint whatever story we want on ifs and maybes, I guess. But there is no evidence from which to base the idea that he was taking them beforehand.

Yep with absolutely no facts on how many times he used the pills out of that same bottle people can make up whatever scenerio they want.

.... Right, so for the purposes of this thread, we have some info to base the discussion on and that is that he took pills from the bottle twice and OD'd both times.

I'm not sure what your point is except to suggest that it was some miraculous coincidence.

authorbest prince didnt commit suicide. But please let us know more about prince and denise. I do agree that prince and her had true love story

When prince was given Narcan two doses it earesed every opioids effect on his body and caused him withdrawal symptoms which was hell. In this situation he must have felt he needed more and more opioids to stop the withdrawal symptoms. That's why he overdosed.
Thats what i think..

I think there is no evidence to suggest that Prince knew he was taking Fentanyl, He thought was just taking his usual pain meds.

Even though there was a large amount of Fentanyl in his body, there is no suggestion from the ME report that he took a large quantity of pills the night he died.We do not know, and will likely never know, where these bootleg pills came from.If I were an investigator, I would want to narrow down an answer to that question. The explanation could be banal, perhaps he asked one of his employees or entourage to obtain some for him, and they chanced upon fake pills rather than real pills. He may have even ordered them himself on the internet. I would find it easier to come to terms with his passing If I could get answers to this question.

I have come to accept that his death was likely accidental, but it troubles me that so much still remains unknown

The only person who would likely know ain't even answering what his birthday is to the police or anyone else. He's a piece of shit.

Yep with absolutely no facts on how many times he used the pills out of that same bottle people can make up whatever scenerio they want.


.... Right, so for the purposes of this thread, we have some info to base the discussion on and that is that he took pills from the bottle twice and OD'd both times.

I'm not sure what your point is except to suggest that it was some miraculous coincidence.

Stating an opinion. Are you telling me I don't have a right to? If there are facts that prove it's impossible that some of the pills in that exact same bottle didn't have lethal doses of fentanyl and it's completely impossible he took a few of those feel free to provide those facts.
Time keeps on slipping into the future...

Thank you for this. It's sad that "what would Prince think" doesn't seem to apply to gossip about his health. sad



My main motivation for showing up on this thread comes from things like the following:

-- people (not just here, but in many other places as well) using slurs

-- people trying to divide the enormous number of people with substance use disorder into an artificial binary of "good" and "bad"

In reality, there are myriad human stories. To attempt to divide people by a false binary dehumanizes. Any truths are in individual stories.

I appreciate Benni's above reminder about Prince's post. On a different subject, Prince may well have bought into some of the attitudes I described above. Many people do. I'm sorry if you think I fail to honor Prince, or anyone else, by not honoring such thoughts. If Prince felt unduly ashamed, then I think that's terribly sad, and I wish that weren't so. Prince gave so much to this world. I hope the future can be different for artists, and all others, who suffer from these conditions.

To define with slurs, and with artificially simple “good person” vs. “bad person” distinctions, is to invasively impose on people's lives.

No I don't think that at all. What you posted is not gossip or speculation it's human compassion.

authorbest prince didnt commit suicide. But please let us know more about prince and denise. I do agree that prince and her had true love story When prince was given Narcan two doses it earesed every opioids effect on his body and caused him withdrawal symptoms which was hell. In this situation he must have felt he needed more and more opioids to stop the withdrawal symptoms. That's why he overdosed. Thats what i think.. [Edited 1/1/20 2:01am] [Edited 1/1/20 2:03am]

That is not for this thread.

Again what we keep missing is the fact and I rarely hear it, PRINCE had a problem, an addiction. We can come up with these monday morning quarterback scenarios of conspiracy to murder, but it really comes down to a person (Prince in this case) having a circle of people he controlled that would do things for him, help him even if it meant it was hurting him in the long run. We tend to think of PRINCE as being above and greater and smarter than addiction. Well news to all, ADDICTION will come find the smartest and the dumbest. And also I do look at Prince's age more than ever now, as he was getting older, you are losing the feeling it had to you, but what is his outlet? He was a musician and that was his gig, its like an athelete looking at his age and wondering now what do I do when I cant compete on that level, I cant tour, I cant get on stage without some kind of pain. It depresses you, and Prince showed multiple signs of this. I dont for a minute rule anything out, you could tell me tomorrow that Prince took his own life and I would not be shocked, because I look at how he was talking to some people, how stripped down everything was at the end, how bare bones the circle around him was. The time was up, and he may have wanted to try to kick it himself, because of his Privacy, but something was going to get out. I think we can debate and have scenarios all day long, but prince had a problem, and it may have started long ago, and grew as his body broke down, and as pain set in. Lets not forget that these things he was taking almost stopped having effect on him in his mind, that is what addiction does, especially pain medication. One is enough then you need more then you need another then you want stronger medication and soon, you are taking anything you can get.

I disagree. My mother was on narcotic pain killers for years, over 10, for neck pain. She was not an addict. She was an RN and very cognazant of the petential for addiction as I'm sure Prince was well aware of. My mother often cut pills in half just as is noted in the document evidence in the Prince case. If he was addict, when he received two 2mg IV shots of Narcan in Moline he would have gone into full blown withdrawal. He didn't. So, clearly he was using without the assistance of a doctor, but I believe there is much evidence he was not addicted.


"Flu like symptoms" is textbook withdrawal
