Prescription opioids allegedly found on Prince

Authorities investigating the death of Prince found prescription opioid medication on him, according to various news outlets, as a judge appointed a bank to safeguard the musician’s estate.

CNN reported that the pain-killing substance was found on Prince, while the Star Tribune, in Minneapolis, reported that prescription pills were found where the musician died, at the age of 57, last week, at his home in suburban Minneapolis.

Both reports were based on unidentified law enforcement sources. Various news outlets, including CNN, also reported that local enforcement had requested that the US Drug Enforcement Administration assist in the investigation.
