Why the Pre-Med Student Who Found Prince Dead Could Face Drug Charges

[IT IS WHAT IT IS]

I separate personal from music. I don't stop listening to music I like because the person is fucked up, and that actually wasn't my point.

My point was, people make hero's out of these athletes, artists, and act like they don't have fallacies, human frailties, etc. I was never a big R Kelly fan anyway so his issues didn't affect me much in terms of listen to his music. Thing with Prince was, because he was this mega talented artists, he and others talented people like him have been given this sort of GOD legacy. When it was initially pointed out he was possibly drug addicted, had HIV, etc. immediately the person to even question it was attacked, called names, etc. as if 'how dare you say something like that about Prince'....

I don't make Gods out of these people, and the fact that most people do probably contributes to them not being able to truly get the help they need that could possibly change their lives, as they have to live behind the 'mask' of their celebrity...

My recent experience with the medical doctors is shady behavior, highly untrustworthy, scammers.

You need to be extra careful dealing with them or you can end up dead like Prince or Michael Jackson, basically assassinated medically.

"flu like symptoms" = "he had aids"? Every single piece of information that has come out before and after his death indicates that the pain medication and possible addition to them, played some role in his death.

Did you all forget what it looks like to die from aids related complications? You ain't up on your feet doing riding bikes and performing.

Hurts don't it?

Fam I've known people who have worked out, looked relatively healthy and died from that shit the next day damn near. It's a myth that everyone who has it will eventually be a skeleton before they die. Different opportunistic diseases affect people differently. Just because Prince SEEMED healthy doesn't mean he was. Not saying he had it, just saying that just because he looked a certain way doesn't mean he didn't...

Prince was drug dependent - pain meds. He died from the cocktail in his system that stifled his breathing.

The principle of Occam's razor applies here as it does in most cases where there are no definitive answers to be had (yet). What's far more likely given what we know is that he died as a result of an Opoid dependency or overdose.

Hell, I gotta think Prince would be more likely to try to hide that than any kind of actual disease.

....the only thing we 'know' is what the media has reported. There has 'never' been a case of certain information being withheld, etc. right? ijs

He was beefing with corporate power, no surprise he ended up dead with pain killers strewn about. I had my experience and could have ended up like him, 'found' dead.

Medical assassination, blacklisting, and other tactics are one of the many ways you can get got. Hugo Chavez sought medical treatment in Cuba for a reason.

Great Point my brother. Thanks for the reply.
