Prince died of accidental opiate fentanyl overdose, officials say weeks after megastar was found dead in his Minnesota compound

Music megastar Prince’s shocking April 21 death followed an accidental overdose of the prescription opiate fentanyl, according to an autopsy report released Thursday.


The 5-foot-2 rocker weighed just 112 pounds when he collapsed inside an elevator at the home studio located inside his Paisley Park estate, the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office report indicated.

The fatal dose of fentanyl was self-administered by the 57-year-old platinum-selling singer/songwriter.
Prince was wearing a black cap, black shirt, black pants and black socks when his body was discovered by two friends and a man summoned to help the Purple One treat his escalating drug use.

Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opiate often used to treat patients suffering from chronic pain. The single-page autopsy report did not list any other drugs found in his system.
After his death, friends suggested Prince had battled severe hip pain since his high-heeled days on the “Purple Rain” tour.
The release of the toxicology results came six weeks after Prince’s death. A four-hour autopsy followed a day after he died, with the singer’s remains cremated immediately afterward.

The toxicology tests confirmed what a preponderance of evidence and a plethora of rumors suggested: Prince’s sudden death was linked to prescription painkiller abuse.
