Inmate Not Prince’s Son
By STEVE KARNOWSKI
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS— DNA test results
show a Colorado prison inmate is not
Prince’s son, a person who has seen a
sealed document said Wednesday.
The inding means that Carlin Q. Wil-
liams is not entitled to inherit a fortune
worth up to $300 million.
The person who spoke to The Asso-
ciated Press was not authorized to re-
lease the inding and therefore request-
ed anonymity.
TMZ, citing unnamed sources with
direct knowledge of the case, irst re-
ported the DNA results.
Attorneys for Bremer Trust, the spe-
cial administrator for the estate, iled
the results Wednesday in Carver Coun-
ty District Court.
Prince died of an accidental drug
overdose on April 21 and no will has
emerged for him. He had no known
surviving children although a few oth-
er people besides Williams have iled
documents claiming Prince was or
might have been their father.
