Drug agency 'probes Prince death' - BBC News
I've not seen any mention yet of whether he employed the services of a doctor among his entourage but I suspect, if he did, the doctor is in hot water.

His doctor was at his last concert in Atlanta, as he told the audience to give thanks to this person.

Looks like the doctor, then, is in 'hot water' according to Mr. spot ! I would like to know why that would be, Mr. spot.

I merely wondered whether there was one in the Superstar's entourage. If there was, and the chap died from prescription drug complications, the doctor will be facing a whole lot of criticism. Maybe there wasn't one. Maybe the present talk of prescription drug complications will turn out to be phantoms. And maybe the world still remembers Michael Jackson's dodgy flirtation with analgesic sedatives.

That's why I only wondered instead of commented. We'll find out in a while and then we'll know. The thing about "if" is that it's speculative, it allows statements to be made which are contingent on circumstance. Powerful word, "if".

The parallels with Michael Jackson seem to be emerging. Have we now filled in all the "ifs", Gill? Have I left any unanswered? Which of my "ifs" is still open to question?
