The man who called 911 to report Prince’s unresponsive body has detailed his experience.
Andrew Kornfeld, the son of an addiction specialist, was identified as the caller. He reportedly found the singer’s body at his home in Minnesota.
Kornfeld was at Prince’s home with a bag full of the synthetic opiate buprenorphine. His father, addiction specialist Dr. Howard Kornfeld, was unable to meet Prince at his house.
Speaking through his attorney, William Mauzy, Andrew Kornfeld said he took a late flight on April 20 so he could be at Prince’s Paisley Park studio complex the next day. When he arrived there, he was one of three people to find Prince in an elevator, unresponsive, according to MailOnline.
Andrew was the person who ultimately called 911.
Mauzy said Andrew was not going to give Prince buprenorphine, but he was going to instead give it to a Minnesota doctor who was scheduled to see him.
Mauzy said Andrew was questioned by investigators.
He said the younger Kornfeld is a pre-med student and said convincing people to seek treatment is something “he has done for years.”
Mauzy said Dr. Kornfeld, the elder, wanted to get Prince “stabilized in Minnesota and convince him to come to Recovery Without Walls in Mill Valley. That was the plan.”
