Prince received drug overdose treatment six days before his death during his plane’s emergency landing in rural Illinois, according to a report.
Medical examiners are investigating the cause of the 57-year-old legendary musician’s Thursday death at his Minnesota estate. But doctors in Moline, Ill., only 48 minutes from his home, gave Prince a so-called “save shot” during the emergency stop last Friday, TMZ reported.
Representatives for Prince attributed the stop to a flu, and he left the hospital hours later, over objections from hospital staff, who wanted him to stay for a full 24 hours, according to TMZ.
Sources told the gossip site Prince was "not doing well" when he left the hospital. He had wowed fans in two shows at Atlanta's Fox Theatre only hours before the flight.
The "save shots" usually help combat opiates, such as heroin and narcotic painkillers, in the bloodstream. Doctors and paramedics have used the injectable medication, called naloxone, for years, according to WebMD.
Police said emergency personnel pronounced the seven-time Grammy winner dead at 10:03 a.m. Thursday inside his Chanhassen, Minn., recording studio. They had tried to revive him for about 20 minutes at the time.
A 911 call unearthed by TMZ earlier in the day revealed that a witness at Paisley Park, Prince's suburban Minneapolis home, believed him dead even before the first responders arrived.
