Prince wrongful death suit names suburban Walgreens stores [View all]
Just before midnight on April 14, 2016, Prince boarded a plane, heading home to Minnesota after a concert in Atlanta.
He had company: his friend and bodyguard Kirk Johnson, and the singer Judith Hill, who remembers Prince telling her that he was depressed, bored, and wanted his sleep more than he usually did. Hed thought he was going to fall asleep onstage, he said.
Not long after takeoff, the plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois. Prince was suffering from an overdose, and needed urgent medical attention. The Moline Fire Department took him to Trinity Medical Center, a local hospital. They succeeded in reviving him, but it took 2 milligrams of naloxone, twice as much as it takes for the typical narcotics user.
