it's typically prescribed in hospitals. and typically administered in hospitals for extreme pain. usually for cancer patients. however, it can be found on the streets for sale illegally. this is, again, one of the most potent opioid painkillers in medicine. it is 50 times more powerful than heroin and morphine. it's crazy to think. >> he must have been in an extreme case of pain, to ever get to that level. >> yeah. >> so sad. the other thing that struck me in reading this was that he was 112 pounds. >> yeah, at the time of death. >> 5'3". >> mm-hmm. >> i mean, that's -- i just can't even fathom that. >> yes. >> he was a small-statured man, but still -- >> with something that powerful, how does it affect the body?

according to the report, as well. the fact that this is a prescribable drug -- >> how did he get it? >> that's the question. that's what they're looking into. obviously, that's where the investigation shifts to, who is now responsible for giving him that prescription or giving him -- or enabling him, really, to have those drugs? police have questioned at least two doctors. a local physician was also treating him. a source familiar with the treatment says he never prescribed pope yo ed opioids. a close associate of prince called an addiction specialist, but he said he never treated the pop star, or according to his attorney. neither doctor is accused of wrongdoing. they now have a definitive way to look at the case and will be checking out that in more detail. i'm sure we'll find out soon enough. >> seems even sadder. >> it is. the irony is, you know, of course we all -- it harkens back to

administered. >> they seem like drugs that, me, you, normal people, would never, ever be able to get our hands on. once you hit a level of celebrity, maybe, you get access to things other people wouldn't? >> the u.s. surgeon general tweeted out 41 people die every day of opioid addiction. thousands of people die every year. >> so it's out there. >> it's out there and available on the black market. >> sure. >> then you don't know what you're getting. this is a powerful enough this is a powerful enough opioid in its own form when it's prescribed, but you can imagine in the black market they probably mix it with all kinds of things. very scary stuff. this is kind of a wild story out of florida. there was this guy who was fishing just north of tampa. he fell overboard, his boat motored off, and he's stuck in the water. >> without a life

anything. i guess no one else was around him. he was treading water for 20 hours. i can't tread water for like two minutes. i am the most awkward swimmer to begin with. here is his actual rescue. he is fine. he said the scariest part about this whole ordeal is it happened overnight. so he made it through the day, then it gets dark, which i can't even imagine. >> bill durton. >> bill durton. he actually had some navy training, so that helped him. he started to feel the effects of hypothermia, and he just getting praying and praying and told himself, tomorrow they're going to find me. but what an ordeal. >> he had a little clip of what he had to say after spotting the coast guard. >> they flew by me and didn't see me, then a few hundred yards lat

jeff devlin has been renovating homes for more than 20 years. as the host of diy network's "stone house revival," his jeff's specialty is to make old things new again, like turning this window into a medicine cabinet. incredible. he's here to help you with diy decor. >> good morning. >> "stone house revival," taking old things and making them new while keeping the character in your house. >> we skipped over history a lot of times. if you have an older house, sticking with the details of the

can get those same feelings in any kind of house, whether it be old, new. it all works together. >> for example, a wallpaper project. there's a way to make things more interesting and it's not that hard. >> this is a wainscoting, but it's not like others. it's made of linseed oil. you can see the character, the texture on top, and obviously on the wall, it just pops. it creates shadow lines that's really great but it installs like wallpaper. >> how hard is it? >> funny you should say. it already has adhesive on it. we already soaked it in water so it absorbs the adhesive really well. it's as simple as literally putting it on the

you want to make sure your pattern is going the right way. so, one, you can get everything tucked in this corner. voila. we push. so if you have just, like, regular wallpaper, you have a little time to scoot it to where you want it. you can see i can push it like so, and then i can just take the paint roller and roll it on. it's very simple to cut. you can cut is with scissors, you can cut it with a utility knife. when that dries, you can put a nice victorian blue, a really deep red and you can see the value you add that quick. >> what about bringing lamps back? >> i don't want to say grandma's lamps all the time, but there are some lamps that are less than ideal in your motif. what i like to do is add character to them. this is a brass lamp. all i did was take things from around the house and added

character. what i used was a little salt, a little vinegar and squirt it on. i put it into a spray bottle like this. if you can do this, you can see some of the liquid on there right now. it's just a mixture of salt and vinegar. that sits on there and it creates a reaction with the brass. then you get all these different color variations and you create that instantaneous technique. before that you have to kind of sand it down a little bit, use a little acetone to etch it. but once you do that, you can get that look and here's what it looks like afterwards. some people are like, i don't want to get into the chemistry behind it. you can actually buy products that you can actually put on top of the lamp itself. again, there are so many things to do and if you want to go crazy, you can use paint. we painted this a bunch of different colors. my favorite. because this is so, so simple. diy doesn't have to be d

you can go and buy legs. you can get them whatever you want. these are hairpin legs. they cost $12 apiece. all told, this is a very inexpensive bench, $140 in material. this is a very beautiful slab of walnut right here, and it's as simple as this. basically grab your screws. pre-drill, because obviously this is a larger screw. you can screw it right in like so, but the benefits of something like this, if you have an older piece of wood from your grandfather, from a family member or something like that, you can take that, add these legs. it could be a live edge, whatever you have laying around and create a bench. >> check out these diys on today.com/home. don't go anywhere, our pal luke bryan gets ready to play it again on our plaza. back after these messages.
