Per the report, at the time of his death, Prince weighed 112 lbs., had scars on his left hip and lower part of his right leg and was wearing a black cap, black shirt, gray undershirt, black pants, black boxer-briefs and black socks.
The singer died on Thursday, April 21 in an elevator at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. Prince was said to be battling the flu ahead of his death, but it was later announced that investigators were looking into whether the singer died from a drug overdose.
DEA agents obtained a search warrant for Prince’s Paisley Park estate in early May, revealing that Prince had met with a doctor at his home the day before he died. The papers did not disclose which illness Prince was diagnosed with, but indicated that the doctor had performed tests on the star and prescribed him with medication.
While Prince’s longtime lawyer L. Londell McMillan insisted that the 57-year-old was “not on any drugs that would be cause for concern,” and that he lived a clean lifestyle, sources confirmed to PEOPLE that he had a history of using Percocet.
Here is what E! News is reporting in regards to the legendary “Purple Rain” singer”:
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office told E! News:
“The U.S. Attorney’s Office and DEA are joining the Carver County Sheriff’s investigation.”
“The DEA and U.S. Attorney’s Office are able to augment this local investigation with federal resources and expertise about prescription drug diversion. While this remains an ongoing investigation, we will have no further comment.”
The two agencies’ involvement in the investigation came shortly after the Minneapolis Star Tribune published a report that said the “Purple Rain” crooner was supposed to meet with a California doctor who specializes in addiction.
Prince was allegedly suffering from an addiction to pain killers and had representatives reach out to Dr. Howard Kornfeld, a national authority on opioid addiction treatment, because the “I Want to Be Your Lover” singer was “dealing with a grave medical emergency,” said William Mauzy, an attorney working with the Kornfeld family.
Lastly, Prince’s autopsy was performed on April 22 by Chief Medical Examiner A. Quinn Strobl of Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office. After the autopsy was completed, his body was released back to his family, the medical examiner’s office said.
A funeral for the singer is planned for August, his sister Tyka Nelson announced in May. The formal ceremony was preceded by a small, informal memorial at Paisley Park the weekend after the singer’s April death.
