‘Prescription drugs found on Prince’

PRESCRIPTION drugs were discovered with Prince when he was found dead in his home, according to media reports.

Citing law enforcement sources, ABC, NBC, CBS and CNN reported that prescription painkillers were found on the 57-year-old and in his Paisley Park home in Minneapolis.

The Star Tribune, also citing unnamed sources, reported that prescription pills were found but that it was not clear whether they had been prescribed to Prince.

Prince died on April 21 and an autopsy has been performed, but results are not expected for three to four weeks.

The star’s death came less than a week after reports that his plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, as he returned after performing in Atlanta.

Long-time friend and collaborator Sheila E said Prince had physical issues from performing, citing hip and knee problem.
