Prince died from an accidental, self-administered overdose of fentanyl, the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office said in a report released Thursday.
The report gave no indication of how Prince obtained the drug, nor did it list any other cause of death or ''significant conditions."
The 57-year-old musician was pronounced dead the morning of April 21, one day before he was scheduled to meet with a California doctor in an attempt to kick an opioid addiction.
Two of his staff members — longtime friend Kirk Johnson and personal
assistant Meron Bekure — found his lifeless body in a Paisley Park elevator
about 9:40 a.m.
Sources previously told the Star
Tribune that the investigation has focused on Prince's use of
painkillers and how he obtained them.
