Inside Prince's Final Days Before His Death: Part 1

Prince Rogers Nelson was pronounced dead at the age of 57 at his Paisley Park residence in Minnesota.

I remember that day well. I lived 15 minutes away from where he died. The entire state of Minnesota mourned this man. Weeks and weeks of Prince's movie on every channel. Such a sad day.

Clearly some kind of murder. You don't die from the flu in an elevator. You'd go to the hospital or rest in bed and have someone take care of you. Something's way off here. Follow the money trail. Was he in a dispute with his former music label? Who would benefit by killing him? #RIP #prince #princedeath

Prince died in an elevator? isnt that ironic? and strange at the same time?
since quoting his lyics from "lets go crazy" ... "r we gonna let de elevator bring us down?"

Prince was taking powerful painkillers because he had hip surgery. His hip problems came from years and years of jumping off of high rises and pianos in six inch heels. He said in an interview with Travis Smiley. I am going to jump off of pianos until I can't jump no more. The autopsy even confirmed that he had a scar on his hips where he had the surgery.

He finally gets back his entire catalog from Warner and all of a sudden he's dead.

Michael Jackson gets the rights to half of his publishing and leaves owning half of Sony and he dies.

But of course they'll say he (Prine) died of an overdose. Yeah right!!!!

prince did not plan on dying...but he knew they were after him because of the music he was almost free...just like they did Michael..why was he at Paisley park ALL alone..he talked to Will Smith last and was fine...he was set up and murdered...dead in the elevator?...too strange was he placed there? and cremated quickly..get rid of evidence....so sad

It's crazy how people were behind both Prince and Michael ....

Prince Rogers Nelson was not half Puerto Rican. His parents were both African American, and his family ancestry is centered in Louisiana.

I still can't believe it. I am in shock! He was healthy . Something isn't right. He dies that fast from the flu?? R.I.P Prince. One of the best artist and guitar players ever!!

I have loved Prince from the beginning. I was born in 1958 too! I remember his first Time on television. He was on the Dick Clark show! I knew then he was going to go someplace with his sexuality, good looks and his just beginning his singing career, I so wished I had of seen him in concert. But, hopefully he is seeing all the people who still care and haven't forgotten him. Will never forget him. All love to you Prince! May we meet in the afterlife. I too love Jehovah...

I imagine those who lived in Minneapolis took this the hardest. He was their pride, their neighbor their friend. He loved his city and its ppl and they loved him. He will forever be engraved in the hearts of Minneapolians.

I don't know who else noticed this but I noticed that Prince did not look healthy during his last few years alive. I remember seeing him on the Arsenio Hall show in 2013 or so and noticed how pale and tired and thin he looked. He also looked like he had aged a lot. Something was not right. He had never been a big strong guy but he had looked way healthier before, like his color was darker and he was a bit heavier and his hair was thicker.

The last thing he wrote on his Instagram? Just when you thought you were safe.😭

Ive found it hard to actually get around to writing my comment, because I don't want to believe that my absolute favorite artist of all time....is gone. I've been a fan since I was 7 years old in 1979, and thru out the years I've followed him and music which has been a huge part of my growing up. No words will ever describe how talented, genuine, beautiful, gifted this man was. I was always intrigued by his eccentric ways, and that's what separated him from the rest. He always had everyone wondering, he was mysterious in every way. There are several other performers and singers that I love too, but this Man and his music truly touched my heart. He was secure of himself 100% and that's what made him sexy as can be. When I learned about his passing, I cried as if I had just lost "one of my own". All I know is, there is and will never be another like Prince! He was truly one of a kind, and I will continue to play his music as much as possible. RIP Prince, thank you for being YOU!!!!

no private room for prince? doesn't make sense

Rest in Heaven, Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson, I love and miss you

Celebrities don't die of the flu...

[Iinakisfineart]

Prince didn't follow hospital instructions and left the hospital. If he just listened, he may still be alive. Being on drugs did not negate his musical genius.

Prince is gone, and his fans are grief-stricken and broken-hearted. So many unanswered questions -- we will never really know what happened to him on that day and the days leading up to his untimely death, unfortunately. So many of us loved him. He was truly one-of-a-kind. He was talented beyond words. His death is highly suspicious. The fact that his death is a "criminal investigation", which means the authorities believe there is "foul-play". I don't think Prince wanted this. I don't think he was planning to leave us. They say his death was "accidental overdose". How do they know this? Prince's bodyguard/drummer knows more than what he is telling. Prince's doctor's know more than they are telling. What was he picking-up at Walgreen's the day before he died? What he was given was "lethal", so someone needs to be held accountable! I don't think Prince meant to overdose. I think there is something else going on here. Sadly, we will never know the truth. I am so sad that Prince is gone. He was one of my favorite Artists of all time. He gave his ALL to his Fans. His music meant so much to him an his Fans meant the world to him -- I don't think he would just go and leave us like this. Just my 2 cents.
