Prince was scheduled to visit a doctor who specializes in opioid addiction just one day after his death, according to attorney William Mauzy.

Mauzy, who has close ties to physician Howard Kornfeld, indicated that Prince’s representatives contacted Kornfield on Wednesday, April 20, because the musician was “was dealing with a grave medical emergency.”

However, a packed schedule prevented Kornfeld—head of Recovery Without Walls in California—from meeting with Prince on Wednesday and instead sent his son, Andrew, to the Paisley Park Estate—with intent to fly in himself the following day.
