TMZ: Prince Treated for Drug Overdose 6 Days Defore His Death

When Prince Left Hospital, He “Was Not Doing Well”

TMZ reported that the artist known as Prince was treated for a drug overdose only six days before he was found dead. Multiple sources said the doctors gave him a “save shot” typically administered to counteract the effects of an overdose and advised the star to stay in the hospital for 24 hours.

Narcan, or Naloxone Hydrochloride Injection, is given for the complete or partial reversal of opioid depression, including respiratory depression, induced by natural and synthetic opioids.

The singer had postponed a concert in Atlanta, Georgia on April 7, after allegedly coming down with the flu. But only hours after he performed in the same city last Friday, Prince’s private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois. Again, his representatives said he was battling the flu, though his plane was only 48 minutes from home before the emergency landing.

The entertainment news site said his people demanded a private room. But when they were told it wasn’t possible, he left the hospital against medical advice and “was not doing well.” The singer left the hospital after just 3 hours after his arrival and flew home.

The pop legend, known for his hits including “Little Red Corvette,” ”Let’s Go Crazy” and “When Doves Cry,” was found dead at 57 in his home on Thursday in suburban Minneapolis.
