He was always thin. A distant paparazzi shot doesn't tell us much about that.

Prince is (was) 5 feet, 2 inches tall and has always looked like a stiff wind can blow him over. 82 lbs. doesn't sound particularly out of the norm.

Still trying to perpetuate this idea that he died of AIDS? I'd be willing to bet you never watched anyone die of AIDS.

He was always really thin. He was also a vegan, which probably contributed to him being very thin (due to being lower fat/protein)

And pictures are never photoshopped - and especially not by people trying to sell magazines/tabloids.

"Chilling" photographs? I only see one photograph of him looking as he always did, very thin because he was a very thin person.

Medics "desperately" tried to revive him? Medics always try to revive unconscious people when they are called on the scene. Whether or not they do it "desperately" is a matter of opinion I guess.

"Sources" at the pharmacy say Prince looked frail and nervous? Yeah, he was PRINCE, at a Walgreen's. He probably was a little nervous about rabid fans recognizing him. And the frail goes with the thin, he was just a small guy.

It's interesting how the crap sheets like these try to manipulate people through buzzwords and even more interesting how well they succeed.

There are several sources suggesting he died of AIDS or AIDS related flu complications. Although I would usually dismiss these sources as tabloid garbage journalism, there are several saying the same thing and it also lends credibility to the reliable information we have already about the severe flu he had shortly before his death. Guys his age aren't normally kicked in the booty by the flu. I agree with majority of the posters about his thin build being irrelevant; he was always a skinny guy.

A. You can't even tell WHO it is in the picture.
B. Prince has always been thin, this is nothing new.

Be careful of "several sources" on the Internet. When you track them back, they tend to be repetitions of the same source, and that one is usually bogus.

Sheila E. says Prince had hip problems | FOX2now.com
And he was also a devout Jehovah's Witness, which means he wouldn't have had hip surgery if there was a chance that he would need a blood transfusion. If he was in pain, it wouldn't be against his religion to use (or overuse) painkillers.
