Authorities in Minnesota obtained a search warrant in connection with the death of pop star Prince and also won a court order to keep the findings secret, documents showed Thursday. Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud of the Carver County, Minnesota, sheriff's office cited intense media scrutiny surrounding the death of the 57-year-old performer, in his request for a state district court judge to seal the warrant. Prince, whose full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, died at his home, a compound known as Paisley Park, in suburban Minneapolis on April 21. Authorities investigating the death found prescription opioid medication on him, according to news outlets on Wednesday from CNN, the Minneapolis Star Tribune and others, that cited anonymous law enforcement sources. According to documents released by Kamerud on Thursday, the search warrant is for the Paisley Park compound, where Prince also had a recording studio. In a court order dated Thursday, state District Court Judge Eric Braaten approved sealing the results of the search for 180 days or until the beginning of court proceedings, whichever comes first. Also on Wednesday, court records showed that a judge appointed a bank to safeguard Prince's estate.

opioid medication on him
On him in him all around him??
Do they suspect foul play?...........If not, what does it matter now?................
If I was addicted to pain killers, as a result of using them for serious pain and a serious medical condition, and overdosed and died, would the local police be giving my case this much attention?
Or am I confusing media attention (large) with police and Medical Examiner attention (small)?
An any event — and on a separate topic — when people do not worship the true God, they worship (or idolize) pretty much any other thing that comes along.
The national obsession with celebrities and minutia continues to astound me. Here we are crying and emoting over a dead singer, currency pictures, bathroom wars and safe spaces all while our government is mind bogglingly corrupt and steals boatloads of money and freedoms from us DAILY.
Placing the blame.
If he was on Rx meds and did OD that doctor or doctors should get a high end lawyer right now.
You nailed it Liz.
One of the planks in the commie platform was/is to use trivialities like sports and entertainment to distract the American populace from real issues in their society.
Yes, I said it: Sports and entertainment are trivialities.
“If he was on Rx meds and did OD that doctor or doctors should get a high end lawyer right now.”
If the MD was over-prescribing the opioids, then yes. But patients have a responsibility to dose (any) prescribed medications properly and not mix them with other substances (like alcohol) that can cause harmful side effects of which the patient was forewarned.
Also, a rich guy like Prince could easily go to a bunch of different doctors and get prescriptions from all of them if he wanted to.
Formatting. Or lack there of.
Perhaps going after the doctor(s) like in the Elvis and Michael Jackson cases..............
Are you worth $300 million?.........................
I agree with you. Yet if any doctor prescribed him any pain meds you know they will be put under a microscope and will be wall to wall media about them.
Don’t over suspect.
Has anyone here on FR never had a script for oxy-contin or hydro-codone?
How about percodan?
How about an injection of demerol and/or viscerol?
AKA bread and circuses - nothing new under the sun.
I prefer fentanyl.
BINGO!
Is foul play a concern?
