Autopsy report: Prince died of fentanyl overdose
By MICHAEL TARM
and AMY FORLITI
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS
—
Prince died of an overdose
of fentanyl, a powerful
opioid painkiller that is up
to 50 times more potent
than heroin, autopsy results
released Thursday show.
The indings conirm
suspicions that opioids played
a role in the death of the
superstar musician, who was
found dead April 21 at his
Minneapolis-area estate.
It was not immediately
clear whether Prince had a
prescription for the drug and,
if not, how he obtained it. At
least one friend has said he
suffered from intense knee
and hip pain from many years
of stage performances.
The results raised the
possibility that anyone who
provided the drug illegally
could face criminal charges.
Although the death was
formally ruled an accident,
that merely signiied that it
was not intentional and in no
way precludes prosecution.
After
Prince
died,
authorities began reviewing
whether an overdose was to
blame and whether he had
been prescribed drugs in the
preceding weeks.
According to a one-page
report released by the Midwest
Medical Examiner’s Ofice,
Prince administered the drug
himself on an unknown date.
The ofice said the death
investigation is complete, and
it had no further comment.
Conirmation that Prince
died of an opioid overdose
was irst reported by The
Associated
Press.
The
autopsy report was released
hours later.
Fentanyl is a synthetic
drug that has legitimate
medical uses. It is also partly
responsible for a recent surge
in overdose deaths in some

In this Nov. 22, 2015 ile photo, Prince presents the
award for favorite album - soul/R&B at the American
Music Awards in Los Angeles. A law-enforcement of-
icial says that tests show the music superstar died
of an opioid overdose. Prince was found dead at his
home on April 21 in suburban Minneapolis. He was 57.
parts of the country. Because
of its risks, it is tightly
controlled by the Food and
Drug Administration, but
much of it is manufactured
illegally.
Pain patients who have
built up a tolerance to other
prescription painkillers, or
who have become addicted,
sometimes seek out stronger
drugs such as heroin or
fentanyl.
More than 700 fentanyl-re-
lated overdoses were reported
to the Drug Enforcement
Administration in late 2013
and 2014.
Prince, 57, died less
than a week after his plane
made an emergency stop in
Moline, Illinois, for medical
treatment as he was returning
from an Atlanta concert. The
Associated Press and other
media reported, based on
anonymous sources, that he
was found unconscious on
the plane, and irst responders
gave him a shot of Narcan,
an antidote used in suspected
opioid overdoses.
The
autopsy
was
conducted the day after
Prince’s body was found.
When his body was exam-
ined, he was 5 feet 3 inches
tall, weighed 112 pounds and
was dressed almost entirely in
black. He had scars on his left
hip and right lower leg. The
report did not say whether
those scars were evidence of
any past surgery to relieve
pain.
The focus of the investiga-
tion will now probably turn
to determining who supplied
the fentanyl and whether the
sources were legitimate or
illegal, said Gal Pissetzky, a
Chicago-based attorney who
has represented multiple
clients facing drug charges.
He has no link to Prince.
Authorities may also look
to the singer’s associates.
“The investigation may
expand to people who
surround him,” Pissetzky
said. “If fentanyl was obtained
illegally, I don’t think Prince
would have gone out to meet
someone in a dark alley to get
the substance.”
If a street dealer was the
source, identifying that person
will not be easy.
“It’ll be very, very difi-
cult,” he said. “These guys
don’t write receipts, and they
change phones all the time.”
Illegally
distributing
fentanyl to someone who
then dies from it is punishable
by a mandatory minimum
sentence of 20 years under
federal law. Under Minnesota
law, the same actions can
result in third-degree murder
charges and up to 25 years in
prison.
The names of at least two
doctors have come up in the
death investigation being
conducted by the Carver
County Sheriff’s Ofice,
the U.S. Attorney’s Ofice
in Minnesota and the Drug
Enforcement Administration.
Dr.
Michael
Todd
Schulenberg, a family prac-
titioner, treated Prince twice
in the weeks before his death
and told investigators he
prescribed medications for
the singer. The medications
were not speciied in a search
warrant for the Minnesota
hospital
that
employed
Schulenberg at the time.
Schulenberg saw Prince
April 7 and April 20 — the day
before his death — according
to the warrant. Schulenberg’s
attorney has declined to
comment on the case.
Dr. Howard Kornfeld,
a
California
addiction
specialist, was asked by
Prince’s representatives on
April 20 to help the singer.
Kornfeld sent his son
Andrew on a redeye light
that night, and Andrew Korn-
feld was among the people
who found Prince’s body the
next morning, according to
Kornfeld’s attorney, William
Mauzy.
The younger Kornfeld,
who is not a doctor, was

carrying buprenorphine, a
medication that can be used
to treat opioid addiction by
easing cravings and with-
drawal symptoms, Mauzy
said, explaining that Andrew
Kornfeld intended to give the
medication to a Minnesota
doctor who had cleared his
schedule to see Prince on
April 21.
Mauzy has refused to iden-
tify that doctor. Schulenberg
is not authorized to prescribe
buprenorphine.
On Thursday, Mauzy said
his clients never delivered,
dispensed or administered
any medication to Prince.
The Kornfelds “were simply
trying to help and remain
saddened by Prince’s death,”
he said.
