, then he is addicted to percocet. after a few weeks -- oxycodone is the active ingredient together with tylenol in percocet, and oxycodone is a prescription opiate, opiode, that causes the most deaths in this country. it's the most widely used oxycontin, as oklahoma si co don't, percocet, all -- oxycodone, percocet, are stronger than morphine. so, what harvey levin is saying makes sense, but we don't know it until the toxicology reports are released which could be three days or three weeks or three months depending on what the sheriff wants to do with it. >> doctor, we know he was in great physical pain help had hip and joint pain, and wouldn't know it from recent concerts in atlanta when he was there, that was a sitting down concert, piano, limited his movements. some people maybe overinterpret that or analyzed that. don't know. but do you every -- do you get a sense that percocet alone, if you are dependent on it and you start overdosing on it, that doesn't get to the issue. the issue might be you take it with somet

now you are saying it was percocet. that's what your sources are saying to you.l us. >> multiple sources. what we are told is that this was a life-threatening overdose. and that the pilot -- the pilot landed this plane and the situation was so dire that's when the eminents arrived they decide to do give him the save shot at the airport. they didn't wait until they got to the hospital. they need to do react quickly and they did. they were able to revive him and took him to the hospital, and that's when the doctor said, look, this guy is in bad shape, and he needs to stay here for 24 hours. his people said the only way he is going to stay here is if he gets in a private room because we don't want everybody knowing that prince is here, especially under these circumstances in the light of day. and the doctors said look, there is no private room for him here. and prince's people said then we are out of here. three hours later they were on a plane going back to minnesota against doctor's advice. >> any description of the condition that he was in on that airplane? >> we

percocet consists of oxycodone.hich is one of the most frequently involved drugs in the drug epidemic that we have been experiencing. it's a semi- synthetic nark cottic analgesic. it leads to super coma, muscle flax idity. it's a brain depressant. and acetaminophen also has some effect too on the brain. and those two drugs are together in the drug known as percocet. if he took an overdose of percocet, deliberately or inadvertently, no reason to believe suicide or foul play here, then i think this is going to be ultimately proven to be a drug death. oxycodone, the drugs that i've talked about, in that drug percocet, probably other drugs in combination. oxycontin is one of the most frequently involved drugs in the drug related deaths that we as coroners and medical examiners are experiencing in the united states today. >> dr. cyril wecht with us from pittsburgh, pennsylvania. dr. wecht was most recently portrayed in the nfl movie concussion. thank you for joining our coverage. also here with us in the studio is a man

percocet is a narcotic, a painkiller, it is given by prescription.ds of intrigue, was there a doctor on the plane? but it comes down to this, from what i have read, prince had significant hip pain and knee pain from jumping on stages and doing all kind of things. but he was a very clean living kind of guy. he was a vegan. but, because he was afraid of blood traps fusions he had pain, started to take percocet. now, the percocet kills, and narcotic kill pain, prescription medicines, kill about 14,000 people a year. it is an embarrassment. i want to know if there was a doctor on that plane. because this is not cool. it has got to stop, folks. percocet prescription use kills people, and any kind of narcotic is a problem, unless you absolutely need it and you need to take it control your dose. >> why percocet, prescribed so much in this country. anytime someone has surgery, what are you on, percocet. >> look, there was a time, back several decade ago where we were mandate todd make sure that people were not in pain. lots of people have pain. they need to

to get very specific on what was taken from home. >> there are reports that he could have been on percocet. have you gotten any information about that or talked to anyone abo that? >> this case is under investigation and i'm not going to talk about that at this time. >> this was prince's last public performance. he cancelled the atlanta concert >> no word yet on funeral plans. meanwhile prince's close friend l.a. reid made a revelation. >> one thing that spooked me about it all is he has a song called let's go crazy and it says don't let the elevator bring us. >> one time when i was with him privately he said you know what the elevator is, right? >> i said no. he said well the elevator is the devil. scared me. i don't like to talk like that but he said that. for me it is really haunting when i read that he was found in an elevator. >> people continue to come here to prince's paisley park studios to remember the singer but of all the tributes you have seen, this one is really sp it's mariah carey last night in paris. >> i'm not sure if everybody has heard the news yet that we lost incredibl

there is something that i have read i don't know if it's true that he was on percocet.of oxycodone and acetaminophen. oxycodone known as oxycontin is a very powerful semi synthetic narcotic an nell joe's annual jesus -- -- it is why the way one of the most frequently encountered drugs in this incredible drug abuse epidemic that we are experiencing in the united states of america. acetaminophen is a mild annual -- like aspirin, but it adds a little bit to to that central nervous system depressant effect on top of the oxycodone. to so there could be other drugs involved here too. they will submit the specimens to the toxicology lab they use. they will examine tissues microscopically to make sure there is no myocar diets, inflammation in the heart muscle. when you have the type of history that i recited if it is accurate, there is nothing to explain that kind of up and down situation and sudden unexpected death in such a short period of time in a person of this age other than drugs. >> and an overdose just a few days prior where he had to be brought back to life, that -- a

apparently, he took too much percocet. they landed in illinois.y, he was given a safe shop right now that it is. the impact of the percocet. he was also seen going to walgreens at least four times. somewhat agitated outside walgreens. percocet very, very strong. he is having problems with his hip. whether that was a contributing factor. >> think you very much. checked the bait board, please. we are down 64 points. a lot of big names. you look at microsoft. that is a dow stock. 7%. google. that is down bed. forty-eight lower. they have been hurt by spending on those new wild projects. here is another big name. facebook. right now it is at 109. dragging down and technology. this is a non-technology stop. their profits nearly cut in half. down it goes 9%. lower jet fuel costs. revenue in latin america really down. really getting hurt there. the stock is down 5%. president obama meeting with prime minister david cameron and great britain. pushing the prints to stay in the european union. and a lot of people there do not like what they think of us. the

now, that doesn't mean that he died from percocet six days later, but what we were told by authorities we've talked to in minnesota, that they are looking at building blocks here until the actual toxicology comes in. and when you look at what happened six days before with percocet and then the fact that he had made four trips that week to a walgreens pharmacy, the last of which hours before he parking lot waiting for his prescription to come back out, you know, it starts to paint a picture. steve: it really -- it really is incredible. the thing -- i guess they had to leave the hospital quickly because they couldn't get a private room? >> yeah. they were -- it's funny what you just said about the persona of prince. that was really important. and his people at the hospital said we have to have a private room because they didn't want others to see that he was there because this all happened at 1:00 in the morning. so they wanted a room before people started coming into the hospital. and when the doctor said we don't have a room here, they said we're out of here. the doctors told them this

you know the bombshell was dropped by the website tmz saying that prince was on percocet, a prescription painkiller since getting hip surgery back in 2010. that follows a bombshell dropped by tmz a day ago in which they say that flight that made the emergency landing in moline, illinois, six days before prince died, did not make the emergency landing for the flu, as prince's handlers originally relaid. but that was in fact for an overdose. all of that information is unconfirmed. the carver county sheriff, jim olson, will hold a press conference in about an hour and we hope to learn more then. >> so i know that you are outside of paisley park there, the complex where prince lived and also recorded. what is happening there today? i see tons of people have come out. >> let me step aside. people continuing to stream in to this location and drop off flowers. they are bringing their pets by. they sheem eem to make a lot of fact that prince stayed local and tried to lead a normal life. a lot of people saw him riding his bike around here. he was a jehovah's witness. a few stories of people sayin

charles: we now learn he has had that percocet issue from before that. in pain before that. started taking the

the medicine talked about percocet, between 1991, and 2013, 81% of the percocet prescribed on the planetd in this country. and we are woefully, woefully sort of cavalier with how we prescribe these medications, and the real problem, martin, it is not the opioid or the opiate itself, though it the does cause problem problems, and you said that the prince is not an addict, and i completely agree with that, because i don't see the long-term behavioral struggles with addiction, but a recent crisis and what i am getting to is the real problem with the opioid or the opiate, and when you add a benzodiazapine, that combination can be lethal. >> do you know if something like ta happened in the case? well, think about it. we hear ongoing use of the opioids and more pain, and the hy hyperal geez ya probably, and maybe he was taking more overtime, and we also heard that he had not slept for 154 hours and worked in the whole time. when you hear that with somebody on opiates, and you are saying, wow they are trying to come off of the medication why they don't sleep, and then the doctors will add in a

the fact is the medicine that has been talked about, percocet, that name kept coming up, 81% of percocet prescribed in the world, 81% of percocet in the world between 1991 and 2013 was prescribed in the united states of america. nearly 100% of the vicodin in the world. do we have more pain in this country? no. we are bizarrely liberal with prescribing of opiods. the real problem is it can be precisely when you add in a sleep medicine, anxiety medicine that is potentially lethal combination particularly if somebody has underlying medical problem. my hunch is that what happened here. he has some sort of underlying issue. he was appropriately prescribed opiates. in fact, i was listening to the dea agent and thinking i love hearing other people talk about the practice of medicine. 100% of patients died of addiction in the last seven years were given this combination of medicine as prescribed. >> by the same doctor? would the same doctor give it? >> many times. it's just the awareness of how serious the problem is very poor. both are casually prescribed together. listen, if that dea agent wer

of percocet prescriptions on this planet or in this country, nearly 100% of vicodin prescriptions oninistered to americans. nearly 90% of all opiate and opioid medications prescribed in the united states of america. >> why is that? >> do we have more pain here? more enlightened with prescribing pain? we have a system in place that has it that people come in, demand certain medication. it is a common treatment for chronic pain. there's no evidence it has real utility. it has gotten out of hand. most doctors are becoming aware there's a terrible problem with overprescribing. the problem is people then cut patients off and then they go to other things like heroin. this is a situation that's terribly common. i do not believe prince was an addict, i do not believe it. you don't hear a story of lifelong struggle with treatment, changing medications, friends and family being concerned about him. you hear the opposite. a relatively healthy, fastidious about his health, who gets into trouble with a medical misadventure, becomes potentially, theoretically, possibly dependent on opioid pain med

something like percocet suppresses your breathing.you go to the hospital, you get a safe shot which "tmz" is reporting he had. it reverses effects of percocet but only last as document hours. if he said there is no private room -- this is all speculation. what makes me nervous about the story it is rumors. "tmz" is not autopsy or medical examiner. you heard the medical examiner said we're not releasing the answer yet. bag back to the point of a narcotic, if you take a safe shot you're supposed to be on narcan drip, intravenous drip. deirdre: and be monitored. >> be monitored until ultimately the opiate wears off completely. deirdre: seems like at least five days, seven days away from having results from the autopsy. to your point i feel like the medical examiner has to be extra careful with the data set, because so many people are interested in the results. but if he had a personal doctor or whoever prescribed the percocet, is that doctor going to be held liable? it brings to mind michael jackson's case? >> not necessarily but there i

prince was using percocet and had been using percocet since 2010 when he had hip surgery.ombshell of a scoop that proves to be accurate. the emergency landing that his flight made. it was not for the flu. was in fact for a drug overdose. the emergency drug narcan was administrated on the tarmac. it blocks the effects of them all. which would depress the breathing. they have lost an icon. last night they came out to the first avenue club. that was made famous in the movie purple rain. a spillover crowd that went out into the street. turn the whole thing into a block party. they sang along and danced into the wee small hours of the morning. the sun is out. people have been streaming here all morning long. they are putting up purple balloons. laying down flowers. she came here just to try to make it all real. >> all right. thank you so much, mike tobin. joining me right now with more on the legacy of prince is michael. good to see you. >> oh, my gosh. what a creative icon. his imprint will be felt throughout pop culture. 1000 tracks. also, fashion. sports. movies. there is a

it is not unlikely for a soldier to drink a beer, but now he is prescribed on oxycontin or percocet, he diminishes himself to a very reduced state, and then the family finds him in the morning. we have the opportunity to do a great deal of good with very low risk. if the price of that is to dog bites -- two. pipe, i think we can do that. and, the price of a dog is far cheaper than opioid addiction. we are legalizing heroin in this country and using our veterans as the scientific lab for opioid abuse. i have been prescribed percocet oxycontin and i can tell you this, i quit cold turkey because i would rather have a clear head and pain than deal with drug protection and depression. i think we are not the intellectually honest here today. whether dr. crowe would like to give his opinion it can be one good reason why we should not implement this already, given the opinion of further study? dr. crowe:rep. desantis: can you stand? do you swear the testimony you give will be the truth, the whole truth? the witness answered in the affirmative. dr. crowe: thank you chairman. thank you very mu

the essential problem is a combination of prescription pain killers, things like percocet, which prince have been using after an operation and ax i con continue. those legal drugs have addicted millions and now we have a flood of cheap heroin and other opioids sweeping through the nation. the stats are grim. in 2014 more than 28,000 americans died from opioid overdoses, a record level. that led to a 200 percent increase in overdose fatalities since the year 2,000. according to the federal government, from 2013 to 2014, heroin use among americans rose 51%. that is catastrophic in one year. so there is no question the epidemic is underway. and few people understand how severe it is or what to do about it. >> i'm boarding a plane in dallas airport. and my son ben calls me. and he says dad, aaron overdosed again. i said what do you mean? he said aaron overdosed again. and i automatically was thinking okay, what hospital is he at. where did they take him? and he said he didn't make it. >> over the years, there have been literally millions of stories like that one. and it's simply stunning th

save shot wouldn't have gotten rid of this is it just temporarily reverses the effect of vicodin, percocet, whichever one it is. it reverses it temporarily. megyn, patients like that, if they're suffering from a drug overdose don't just get a shot of narcan. they end up in a narcan drip in the hospital, in the icu. >> they're reporting he went to the e.r., that the doctors urged him to stay at least 24 hours. but he left against medical advice. you know, that was last friday, however. it's been nearly a week since that happened. this save shot, the narcan, is that what it's called? can you get that at walgreens? could he have gotten not a drug but a save shot there? >> i believe that. that's possible in most states. it was mroblly the case there. but again it's a very dangerous way to live. it wears off. then you're craving more of the narcotic. you take that. it stays in your system. you'd almost have to be a physician to deal with that accurately. even then. so if that's the story, it's not surprising because, again, the main thing we worry about -- and there's been a 200% increase of dr
