@Robert Gentel,
Well, there's the problem Robert.
People listening to and reading all sorts of rumours, gossip and whatever else the media wants to throw at the general public.
I'm going to personally be paitient and wait to see what the truth is.
Actually no, it's not so much waitng on anything, as if I'm somehow owed an explanation. I'm not entitled to know about his cause of death or personal life. His family is.
For arguments sake, let's say drugs were being bought. Does anyone really think that a person who is well known around the world would be dealing directly with the person who sells the drugs he wants to use? This is a man who had bodyguards, staff, God knows what else to assist him, but he personally deals with "Doctor D"?
Oh, and here's a joke, Prince being seen going to Walgreen 4 times a week to pick up perscriptions. Well, some either he needed to get his schedule in order so he only made one trip, or realize he could send someone else down to pick them up. Yes, even if they are controlled substances. I do it all the time.
To give an example of how manipulative all this "drug dealer" talk is, look at that figure, $40,000.
Gosh, that's a lot of money!
Per this article, that was supposed to be for 6 months.
However, when you consider oxycontin, oxycodon, fentanyl patches, etc etc on the street can go for $50 to $100 a pill, depending on the dosage, and someone in his position paying a premium for security and privacy, what are we really talking about?
Two to four pills a day, if that. For someone with chronic pain, that could be enough to get them through the day, if their regular script isn't enough.
That is of course supposing any of this click bait has any truth at all to it.
People just don't think things through. Not pointing at you Robert. I mean in general people follow the most recent sexy theory.
