| Prince death: Singer 'died of opioid overdose' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| The singer Prince died of an opioid overdose, a US law enforcement official has told the Associated Press. | |
| The official, who is close to the investigation, said this was established by tests after the singer's death in April at his Minneapolis home. | |
| Detectives have already questioned a doctor who saw 57-year-old Prince twice in the weeks before he died. | |
| Prescription painkillers were in the singer's possession following his death, officials told US media in May. | |
| A police warrant has also revealed that Dr Michael Schulenberg prescribed medication to the singer on 20 April - the day before he died. | |
| The warrant does not say what was prescribed or whether Prince took the drugs. |
