Investigators looking into the death of superstar Prince have brought in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) after prescription drugs were found on his person and at his Minnesota residence, an official told CNN on April 27.
The DEA will help in the investigation, a law enforcement official told CNN.
Prince, 57, died on April 21. Authorities responded to a 911 call at his Paisley Park home in Minneapolis, and found him unresponsive in an elevator. The local sheriff says first-responders performed CPR, but failed to revive the pop superstar.
Authorities had found prescription opioid medication on him and at his Minnesota residence, said an official. The drugs are usually used to treat pain.
Investigators believe a previous health concern, which forced his plane to make an emergency landing in Illinois a week before his death, might have been a result of a reaction to the pain medication, said an official to CNN.
