my daughter told me Prince died from an overdose of Percoset. Is this true?

He suffered from chronic pain so I am not surprised if it is true. It makes me glad I stopped taking Percoset for my neuralgia pain -- it wasn't doing much if anything for nerve pain and I just wondered why I was prescribed it in the first place...

The official report has not been released.

Toxicology reports can take months to be analyzed.

But beyond that, the actual cause of death is purely speculation until the toxicology report is completed.
