nearly died days before from an overdose of percocet. steve: harvey levin joins us with more on what happened. this whole thing is so crazy. he was someone who was never associated with drugs or alcohol, especially coming of age in the '80s, going through that whole thing. it seems so out of left field. >> well, out of left field in terms of public persona, but a lot of times people manage their public persona and it's very so it was with prince, we're told, in various ways. i will tell you this, that the story we got when we broke that story a week ago, that he made that emergency landing where his people said it was the flu, we are told by multiple people in illinois not true at all, that what happened was that he had oded on percocet. it was so life-threatening, they literally couldn't wait to get him to the hospital, that they administered the save shot right at the airport. it was really dire. 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 is a bad idea. we want him here for 24 hours. they said we don't care and they left. steve: we appreciate it. it's been a hectic 24 hours following all. we appreciate it. have a good weekend. >> you, too. steve: senator schumer wants to help victims of domestic might hurt their pets if they leave. he's calling on congress to pass the paws act which would give

being here. >> thanks for being -- christina: a lot of people don't talk about suicide. the more we talk about it, the more people will be helped. i didn't realize it was in the top 10 leading causes of death. >> in terms of the numbers, heart disease and cancer are the biggest killers. but in terms of preventable deaths, suicide is up there. the fact that now the numbers are about 25 percent, that's how much the suicide rate is increasing over the past 20 years. that's a huge increase. in terms of what we can do, i mean, of course for the individual, it's a person who feels demoralized, disheartened, disappointed, christina: all the emotions we feel every day. >> exactly. there are different things. the suicide rate went up around the great depression. there is some parallel with the economy or what's going on in terms of our society and our finances. there are things to look out for. if you know that people are having a really hard time financially or if you know their expectations are very different from what their situation is, that might be something that puts them at risk. steve: it speaks to our uncertainty over getting the medical care we need. looking at things here, the spike was pronounced for women ages 45 to 64. that's when you start running into health issues. it can really overwhelm you. >> sure. women don't seek help as it is. it's a double whammy. >> you're right. for women, it went up by over 60 percent. for men, it went up really high. in that age group, it went up over 40 percent. part of this might be related to the societal trend, that more people are getting divorced. more people are not getting married. i'm not saying -- people can be >> if you have other things, let's say medical problems, you may not have the same social support network to turn to. that's something we can keep an eye on people around us to see if people might be isolated. even in new york city where you're surrounded by people, you can feel very isolated. steve: more alone sometimes. all the people. but no connections. we appreciate it. christina: thank you. steve: let's talk weather. christina: gorgeous day, nick. nick: not bad so far. we

their public persona and it's very so it was with prince, we're told, in various ways. i will tell you this, that the story we got when we broke that story a week ago, that he made that emergency landing where his people said it was the flu, we are told by multiple people in illinois not true at all, that what happened was that he had oded on percocet. it was so life-threatening, they literally couldn't wait to get him to the hospital, that they administered the save shot right at the airport. it was really dire. 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
