R. Kelly Rushed To Hospital After Overdose In Prison Lawyer Claims Murder Plot To Kill Him

R. Kelly is doubling down on his claim that his life is in grave danger in prison now alleging Bureau of Prisons staff at his federal center in North Carolina purposefully gave him too much medication causing an overdose that left him in the hospital. A court filing submitted by his attorney, Beau B. Brindley, Monday claims R. Kelly was left bedridden in a hospital after a solitary confinement staff member instructed him to take additional medication the night of June 12. He was subsequently taken to Duke University Hospital, and during the ride there, he claims he heard a prison officer begrudge "This is going to open a whole new can of worms." During his two-day stay at the hospital, Kelly says he learned he was given an amount of his prescribed medication that could have ended his life. Kelly claims in his Monday filing prison staff took him off necessary blood-thinner medication and is now refusing to allow him a doctor-recommended surgery to clear blood clots in his legs and lungs that are putting his life in danger. Instead, they have him locked up in solitary confinement, where Kelly has expressed to his lawyer he is convinced he will be killed or left to die.
