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.

5 days after Diana. Way too close for proper recognition in the Diana maelstrom though.
Well, the side effects of *pure* heroin are actually not as bad as many of these new drugs.
Some are even equally as addictive but the taxpayer pays for addicts’ pills for life so they don’t have to steal from you. Big pharma just takes it out of our paychecks...
When a celebrity dies that young and no cause of death is announced, I always assume it’s drugs, because it always turns out to be that.
If he had a Grand Mal Seizure on a plane or a elevator .
It’s a terrifying thing to witness .
Which I Witness a few times as a child.
You are powerless to do a thing .
At age 57 and a Grand Mal seizure may have been his last one.
I am not jumping to any conclusions.
Rest in peace.
Julius Caesar had epilepsy and died at 55 (according to the most likely information for when he was born).

I think Brutus's knife had a little more to do with it.
My guess is he mixed a cocktail of drugs for elipsy, hip pain and the flu with a chaser of alcohol with a dash of cocaine.
With his money and health problems I would have had an EMT and body man with me at all times. I would have even hired guys or girls that didn't ruin my look. (;>
Then why is the media reporting that he had a drug overdose just 6 days ago?
I agree, both are absolutely crazy. I did hear one rumor that Prince received a flu shot shortly before symptoms. Any truth to that?
Much like his former love interest, Denise ‘Vanity’ Matthews. She was 57 and died 2 months ago of kidney fåilure.
Too funny. AJ tracking Prince. Had no idea. Dionysus or Apollo...choose and make the bed u will lie in.
I'm sure it's not true, but will become true within days. And because of all those projects he completed but then refused to release, he'll become the next nexus of rumor, and like Tupac, will not really be dead from now on.
That said, those who know him best know he's been under the weather since the beginning of April and thus it may have been an untreated flu bug or something else.
Since he was JW, he apparently was opposed to certain medical procedures.
Tupac Shakur was never there for me, alive or dead.
The fruitbat from Minnesota had a brief ascendancy in the early 1980s -- the DJs around here were yapping nonstop about the passing this morning, but none of them had much to say about the most recent 30 or so years -- went crazy, went to war with his label, convinced they were exploiting him, and remained an unreconstructed racist vis a vis white folks. Oddly enough, he bought into the same paranoid nuttery (chemtrails, Illuminati, etc) found on most of the skinhead websites.
Probably not tracking him, but breathing together.
Influenza can sometimes cause acute reactions including difficulty breathing, and an hour is a huge amount of time in such a situation.
