Thread: R&B singer Prince dead

He was an amazing guitar player. VERY talented.

Progressive but a little more rock to it.

its sad when doves cry...

Doves cry was great.

One of my cousins just posted on FB that since he was a JW, there wouldn't be an autopsy..but I'm not sure about that because of the manner in which he was found, and the authorities *may* want to rule out foul play. Also, I don't know if his beliefs would trump any type of investigation into exactly how he died.

I suppose his next of kin would make the (autopsy) call based on his religious convictions?

I had mentioned in my post above about him having to stop and go to the hospital on his way back home from his Atlanta concert (I said Indiana but it was Illinois). Appears it was due to a drug overdose.

Prince Treated for Drug Overdose Days Before Death

EXCLUSIVE

Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death ... multiple sources tell TMZ.

We broke the story ... Prince's private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois last Friday, hours after he performed in Atlanta. At the time his reps said he was battling the flu ... something we questioned because his plane was only 48 minutes from home before the unscheduled landing.

Multiple sources in Moline tell us, Prince was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot" ... typically administered to counteract the effects of an opiate.

Our sources further say doctors advised Prince to stay in the hospital for 24 hours. His people demanded a private room, and when they were told that wasn't possible ... Prince and co. decided to bail. The singer was released 3 hours after arriving and flew home.

We're told when Prince left he "was not doing well."

We know authorities in Minnesota are trying to get the hospital records from Moline to help determine cause of death.

We have made more than a dozen attempts to reach Prince's reps for comment, but they went radio silent.

I dunno...depends on if the police suspect foul play.
