LEFT WING LOONS Title: Reports reveal ... Prince died from overdose --- of opioid fentanyl Reports reveal, Prince died from overdose of opioid fentanyl Junho 11, 2016 Prince died from an overdose of a synthetic opioid called fentanyl the local medical examiner has found On Thursday, Mauzy said his clients never delivered, dispensed or administered any medication to Prince. He weighed 112 pounds at the time of his death. "The decedent self-administered fentanyl", the medical examiner's report said, listing cause of death as "fentanyl toxicity" and noting it was accidental. Paramedics performed CPR but were unable to revive him, authorities said. The untimely death of funk superstar Prince may have been prevented by addressing his opioid addiction much earlier, suggests the man who called 911 after finding the musician's lifeless body. Howard Kornfeld, an addiction treatment doctor has also stated he was in touch with Prince's representative the day before Prince died. According to CBS Minnesota, Andrew was in Minneapolis to consult with Prince on behalf of his father to draw up a plan on how he could treat his addiction. Illicit use is also a growing problem, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration says: It is increasingly winding up in the wrong hands through pharmacy theft, fake prescriptions and illegal distribution by doctors and patients. A prominent doctor says the death of Prince, pictured speaking at the NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles in March 2011, will help raise awareness of the dangers of fentanyl and other powerful synthetic opioids. For manner of death, a box was marked for "accident". The illegal distribution of fentanyl resulting in death carries a mandatory minimum 20 years behind bars in federal court. If it's the latter, someone could face criminal charges carrying years, even decades in prison. "If it wasn't prescribed?" Fentanyl is a painkiller that is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine, according to medical experts. What's more, there are numerous ways to misuse and overdose on fentanyl, by applying multiple skin patches or eating one, Agrawal said. "That would be something that you would know". If the fentanyl was prescribed by a doctor, who got it for Prince? The medications were not specified in a search warrant for the Minnesota hospital that employed Schulenberg at the time. On April 7, Prince postponed two performances at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta from his Piano & A Microphone Tour; the venue released a statement saying he had influenza. Billboard says no artist has had that many albums in the Top 10. With a slight smile, he jokes about having been "under the weather". His voice seems a bit weak at times while speaking, but sounds fine when singing during his 80-minute show. First responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used in suspected opioid overdoses. Prince was last seen on the eve of his death around 8pm at his compound in Paisley Park in Minneapolis. "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers", he tells fans. The day before Prince died, his team called an eminent opioid addiction specialist in California seeking urgent help for the singer, an attorney working for the specialist and his son said. Unable to immediately fly to Minnesota, Kornfeld sent his son Andrew in an effort to convince the musician to seek long-term care at his Recovery Without Walls center in Mill City, California. Prince Rogers Nelson, full name of Prince, died on April 21 after he was found unconscious in an elevator at Paisley Park. The tests were conducted by the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office, and they made the results public through a press release that they posted on their Twitter account.
