Prince Treated for Drug Overdose Days Before Death Prince Treated for Drug Overdose Days Before Death 7,254 4/21/2016 4:51 PM PDT BY TMZ STAFF EXCLUSIVE

42116-prince-getty-04Prince 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.

I was always under the impression he was a teetotaling Jehovah’s Witness. No alcohol, no drugs. This story is quite puzzling.

I don't understand these stars who've died, left alone. The three of them (Jackson, Whitney Houston and her daughter, Prince) all had known problems that could lead to their deaths. With their resources, you'd think they'd have someone keeping an eye on them. If Prince had epilepsy at that age, what the heck was he doing in the elevator alone, with nobody there to make sure he got out?

Is it another case of you can't fix stupid? How sad.

Last night’s news spent about 10 minutes on Prince. Pictures of people weeping! Helps to explain why the voters in this country are stupid.

Please note that this has the sole source of TMZ. While their credibility may be a little better than Nigerian Scoop, I would not proclaim it as righteous until someone else backs it up.

But they do raise a good point, why an emergency landing last week for the flu when his home was less than an hour away?

In Moline, there is no such thing. He couldn’t get a private room so his team got him out of there. Docs were not pleased.

Prince was clean. He never did drugs. Barely ever drank. But he was a Jehovah Witness which may have stopped him from taking certain drugs which would have benefitted him.

“Oh, I hope so. Better that than heroin or speedballs, right?”

The opiate painkillers that doctors prescribe like candy are stronger than most street heroin. Some of them can be crushed and injected like Heroin too

Plenty of Rx stimulants out there too that are very similar to cocaine.

Pharma companies are the biggest dope dealers on Earth. The WOD simply keeps their competition down...

Just about every case of entertainers dying young have been from drug/alcohol abuse and mostly in combination.

I'm trying to avoid the Prince adoration on the cables. Megyn went ga-ga over the druggie last night.

Did Mother Therese get this non-stop attention when she passed?

No because she died the same day as Princess Di.

the 911 transcript sounds like the callers didn’t quite have there crap together aka stoned.
I bet we will hear Prince died of a drug over-dose as it sounds like he was close to it the week b4 with the emergency landing his AC made

Call me a Buzz Kill but that my 2cents,reality sucks

Remember the term “designer drug”?

That’s what we’re seeing ads for on TV now, including the lists of horrifying side-effects. At least the commercials tell you about those, whereas a dirty street punk on the corner probably wouldn’t.

Nope but the stories about additives in Malt Liquor cause blacks to go ape shit(no pun intended) are surely true.
After all they state that only black drink Malt Liquor so what better way to drug them/sarc for those that cant figure it out

Ok...so lots of unknowns and questions and very few facts yet. However, it is known that something happened that was so serious that they had to change flight plans to find the nearest hospital only 6 days earlier. I would say it is at least one conclusion that this incident on the plane and his death are related with one exception.... suicide. Even suicide could be related if the incident on the plane was an attempted suicide for which they were able to get him to the hospital in time.....Once the incident on the plane is known, the cause of his death will also be known.
