So how many 57-year-old men do you know who aren’t taking some perscription drug? This is a non-story at best, but probably intended to be what it is, a smear.
I don’t agree with you on much, but I do agree here. I have read he suffered from a very bad hip - and so what. Typical MSM looking for any thing!!
Assume he did die from something related to the drugs. Hopefully we are getting to a place where we can discuss drug use and abuse without demonizing or criminalizing Prince. We need to stop framing drug use as a personal failing or weakness.
I just looked in my medicine cabinet. Three different prescription drugs, plus two other medications that would be prescription but the OTC versions are available and cheaper. And I don’t even have anything serious wrong.
Actually, both of his hips were suppose to need surgery. But his being a JW posed a problem. There was a time he used two canes the pain was so bad. One can’t spend decades wearing 5 inch heels and doing splits onstage. The body can only take but so much abuse.
But it’s not sexy enough unless there is an inference of something bad.
Autopsy results aren’t expected for three to four weeks
Is it me or does that seem like an incredibly long time to do and get results for any autopsy much less a big name celebrity?
The guy is dead. They need to confirm that he was only prescribed what he was supposed to be prescribed. If someone was writing more prescriptions than they should have been at Prince’s behest, that person will face criminal charges if those drugs lead to his death. So this needs to be investigated. If it turns out Prince just took too much of a dose of legally prescribed drugs, that’s a different story. But it certainly needs to be investigated.
Like the article says, quick results are for TV shows. There are numerous processes involved. They will sometimes have preliminary results, but further testing can be a more lengthy process. And sometimes releasing preliminary results can be misleading, so best to release them all at once.
