        +1. A solid choice. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 17:50
  - I doubt anyone knows for sure. And he probably would check himself out of the ER and get a private doctor at the house. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:26
- Prince did drugs? Whaaaaat? heh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 17:08 16

        Vanity had her addiction issues. he was so private and closed off from the world, nobody would really have any idea -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:35 11
        
        of course, it's all speculation; but his public personal-state comments and such are what would have made it not as likely as for - b. Apr 21, 17:38 10
        
        Yes. -- nm - pmb Apr 21, 18:34
        
        I too am very much leaning towards prescription drug issues. - ML Apr 21, 17:51 5
        
        I just read that he had needed a double hip replacement for years, but because he was a Jehovahs Witness, would only do a bloodless surgery. - kelly Apr 21, 18:16
        
        He had one child, and it died at seven days old. -- nm - David's iPad Apr 21, 17:58 1
        
        that was awful, of course; but he also had physical pain issues - he reportedly needed double hip replacement for years, - b. Apr 21, 18:15
        
        His size and privacy left me thinking maybe he had some sort of chronic problem. - nic to be determined Apr 21, 17:57

        i don't think you give the narcan shot for pills - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:40 2
        
        Used for any opioid. The route you take the opioid doesn't change the fact it is an opioid. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 21, 17:47

Who gets Prince's money? "in the absence of a will, the estate goes to the following people in this order: - CrankYanker Apr 21, 16:53 16
- I looked into this before for a friend of mine from MN. At that time it was 1/2 to spouse, with the remaining 1/2 distributed between the children - jnine Apr 21, 18:09 1
  - yep, if you click on the legal link in the article, it completely contradicts what the author wrote. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 18:22
- What about Wendy & Lisa??? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 17:29
- siblings is all he has. -- nm - Spawn Apr 21, 17:17 5
  - I was just surprised that this is the State law, not a personal choice. I thought it always went to spouse, children, THEN parents and siblings. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:22 4
    - grandchildren then parents is odd - Spawn Apr 21, 17:28 3
      - fwiw, other sources don't show that order. here's a page from a minnesota estate planning law firm. -- (link) - b. Apr 21, 17:33 2
        
        This makes more sense. And now that I click the legal in the article, it contradicts what the author reported. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 18:06
        
        and here's a state page of order if no spouse. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 21, 17:35
- I believe the Doves have a claim for all the crying they've done -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 16:58
- Is there some suggestion he died intestate? Because if there's a will, none of that matters -- nm - ML Galaxy Apr 21, 16:55 5
  - No, this is just acknowledging what would be the case since no Will has been mentioned yet. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 16:56 4
    - i would estimate the odds that he did not have a will at less than 0.01% -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:01 3
      - But what are the chances that it's a vague, groovy will? -- nm - Max Apr 21, 17:28
      - I agree, but the law is odd if there isn't one. -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 21, 17:02 1
        
        blood flows downhill -- nm - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 17:03

reportedly, aeropostale may file for bankruptcy as soon as this month. right now, just about everything at their site is 60% off. nm but: -- (link) - b. Apr 21, 16:42 4
- I've never had any clue how to pronounce their name. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 21, 16:46 1
  - air-o-post-*all* is how I've heard the store version pronounced, from someone who has had a line there. -- nm - b. Apr 21, 16:49
- well shit, my kids love that store -- nm - Beaker Apr 21, 16:43 1

  - Brolin was kind of the best thing in that movie for me - dj fingerblast Apr 21, 16:42 1
    - yeah, he's good.....nm - x Apr 21, 16:44

"Darlin' Nikki" made my voice change... - Mel Profit Apr 21, 16:04 5
