Prince Dead at 57 R.I.P. (1 Viewer)

TMZ is saying that his hospital stay about a week back really wasn't for the flu and was for an opiate overdose. This sort of makes sense because you usually wouldn't make an emergency landing for a flu...

That sucks. Doctors need to start being held accountable for closely monitoring their patients when they prescribe opiod pain meds. It's one of the most dangerous drugs out there and doctors act like it's no bid deal.

What I'm afraid may happen is that a lot of doctors get an ego boost from being (celebrity's) personal doctor and don't want to say no and may overprescribe.

 
The whole thing beginning to sound like a Michael Jackson deal without the Propofol. Guy is surrounded by people who only say yes.  Popping percs and when he OD's the first time ignores medical advice and bails form the hospital. Keeps going like everything's fine. Dead in less than a week. Guy weighs 120 pounds, wonder how much he was taking.  Such a waste. There's a doctor somewhere in Minn. sweating right now. Prince outwardly against illicit drugs and alcohol but taking something far more dangerous and in a reckless fashion it seems. Being such a larger than life figure contributed to his death.  Maybe he didn't want to admit he had an issue because it would have tarnished his image.
Also very close to what happened to Elvis. Being "anti-drug" didn't save him either.

Somewhere I read that he had aids.

####### NBC is supposed to be showing Dateline now....NOT a Prince special.

I tweeting my displeasure. So ####ed up.

 
Really sad about this one. I hope the pill overdose rumors are not true. He apparently never drank or was into drugs, so that would be ironic. My favorite Prince song, The Beautiful Ones. All of his music was really good.
