Why did Prince Nelson eat children?
Prince’s health started to unravel on April 7th, 2016,
when he saw the doctor of his bodyguard and friend,
Kirk Johnson, seeking prescriptions for nausea medication and vitamin D.
A week later, on the night between April 14th and April 15th,
Prince suddenly passed out on his private plane,
which had to make an emergency landing in Illinois.
As biography describes,
the public was told that the incident happened due to a severe flu.
He had unwittingly taken pills that seemed like Vicodin,
but were counterfeit
and laced with a significant amount of an incredibly strong
synthetic substance
that is reportedly many times stronger than heroin.
Prince had managed to keep his pill addiction secret,
according to Johnson. He says Prince had been, quote,
looking just a little frail
and there had been some mood swings in the light.
However, he maintains
that he had no idea
that the musician had been dealing with an addiction
until the plane incident. On April 21st, 2016,
Prince Rogers Nelson was found dead in an elevator
at his Paisley Park estate. He was only 57 years old.
