It took ten years to probate Elvis' estate...

Judge says no hurry in determining Prince claims
June 27, 2016 — A Minnesota judge overseeing the legal proceedings surrounding Prince's estate said Monday there will be no quick decisions on who should be allowed to inherit from the late megastar. Prince died in late April of an accidental drug overdose, with no known will or children. A sister and five half-siblings are in line to inherit, with several others claiming a tie to the performer.

While attorneys for Tyka Nelson, Prince's sister, and others pushed for a quick resolution to establish control of an estate estimated at $300 million or more, the court first needs to set ground rules for which claimants can be considered. Noting the complexity of claims and parentage law, Carver County District Judge Kevin Eide said he may forward his eventual decision to an appellate court for immediate review, drawing out the process even longer. "This case is perhaps unique in the state of Minnesota," he said. "I want to do it right because it's important to a lot of people."

The decision on Prince's heirs will determine not just who gets Prince's current wealth and Paisley Park recording studio but also who controls his music and the image he cultivated over four chart-topping decades. Industry experts have said his earnings potential after death is vast. More than two dozen attorneys crowded into the small courtroom in the Minneapolis suburb of Chaska to jostle over the ground rules for who may ultimately be considered.

Attorneys for Tyka Nelson pushed the court to take a narrow view of heir eligibility. Nelson's claim and that of several half-siblings are firmly based on legal documents that establish Prince's parentage, including a divorce record for his parents. They said claimants who have asserted that Prince's parents were someone other than John Nelson and Mattie Shaw should be rejected. Brian Dillon, an attorney for Tyka Nelson, urged Eide to act quickly. "There is some urgency in determining who are the rightful heirs," Dillon said. "We are now more than 2 1/2 months out from (Prince's) death."

Claimants who disputed Prince's parentage pushed for a broader view of eligibility. James Selmer represents Venita Jackson Leverette, who claims that Prince's real father was Alfred Jackson Sr. and that she is Prince's half-sister. Selmer said his client's claim is strong and could be backed up by a DNA test if permitted by the court.

Powerful drugs found in Prince's home 'were mislabelled'...

Prince death: Powerful drugs found in singer's home 'were mislabelled'
Sun, 21 Aug 2016: Pills seized from the home of singer Prince contained the dangerously powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl but were mislabelled, according to reports.

Speaking to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, officials investigating the artist's death said the pills were labelled as hydrocodone, a weaker type of opioid. Autopsy results released in June revealed Prince died of an accidental fentanyl overdose. Officials told the Associated Press the singer had no prescriptions for controlled substances at the time. Prince was found dead at 57 in an elevator inside his Paisley Park home in April. According to the Star Tribune report, the musician weighed just 50kg (8 stone) at the time of his death and had significantly more than a fatal dose of fentanyl in his system. Fentanyl has been linked to a surge in overdoses in parts of the US after being incorporated into counterfeit pills.

The counterfeit pills found in Paisley Park contained a variety of drugs, according to the Associated Press, including fentanyl, lidocaine and U-4770, a synthetic drug eight times more powerful than morphine. Tests on Prince prior to his death did not show fentanyl in his system, AP said, citing an official involved with the investigation, indicating the singer was not a long-term user of the drug. The official said Prince had many of these pills with him a week before his death when his aeroplane made an emergency stop in Illinois after he fell ill. He reportedly received two doses of Narcan, an antidote used to reverse suspected opioid overdoses. A singer, songwriter, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, Prince recorded more than 30 albums. His best known hits include Let's Go Crazy and When Doves Cry.

What is fentanyl?

Fentanyl is an extremely strong painkiller, prescribed for severe chronic pain, or breakthrough pain which doesn't respond to regular painkillers. It is an opioid painkiller which means it works by mimicking the body's natural painkillers, called endorphins, which block pain messages to the brain. It can cause dangerous side effects, including severe breathing problems. The risk of harm is higher if the wrong dose or strength is used.

What is your opinion?

 

[AyeCantSeeYou]

My opinion - I honestly hope this was a screwup at pharmacy level or pharmaceutical company mislabeling. Reality is, there would have been other deaths related to the same thing if that was the case. More than likely, one of his 'associates' supplied the stuff to him. Maybe he didn't realize what it was since the bottle was mislabeled.

Are you saying the drug came from the street and was a knock-off?

No, not saying it was a knockoff or that it was from off the streets. I don't know where it came from. I said earlier that the cops are going to look into where it came from, especially since he didn't a prescription for what was in the bottle.

All they have to do is call the pharmacy. Life is awfully complicated even for pharmacists today. When I worked at Medical Clinic Pharmacy in high school, I never dreamed of having to answer the phone and talking to the police. My most difficult task was storing the old RX's in the basement.

I worked at one inside this hospital.
