Prince death: ‘No reason to believe’ star died by suicide

The cause of Prince’s death may not be made public for weeks, officials said, as it was reported that the pop superstar overdosed on a powerful painkiller six days before he died.

At a press conference last night, Carver County sheriff Jim Olson said there were “no obvious signs of trauma” on Prince’s body.

“We have no reason to believe this was a suicide,” he said.
