Prince's former dealer reveals the extent of his addictions to Fentanyl and Dilaudid

[MADem]

1. Phillip Seymour Hoffman died from ODing on Fentanyl-laced heroin.

Apparently it's sometimes used to improve low quality product.

The patches, though, they're a different story. I think there's much more to learn, here. The former supplier says he wasn't a heroin user for all the time he knew him, though. I think the theory that he was on different meds from his usual cocktail might be the answer, here:

'He self medicated for years and was fine - so it wouldn't have been the opiates that killed him but the Tylenol.
'So perversely the doctors who thought they were helping him may have hurt him by prescribing Percocet.
'Also if they did have to give him a save shot when he overdosed like everybody is saying - that removes all traces of drugs from your system so he would have started to go into withdrawal and would have had to take a lot of drugs to feel okay again - which also could have killed him.
'You can't just stop taking these drugs when you have taken them for so long.
'But without knowing his drug history doctors wouldn't have known that.
'It explains why he was spotted looking nervous and pacing around at the pharmacy in the week before his death.'

If the doctors had kept him in the hospital, he'd probably still be alive today.

I don't understand why a guy with medical issues and a recent hospitalization was left alone--he should have had someone attending him, even if he didn't like it.
