CHICAGO (AP) A law-enforcement official tells The Associated Press that tests show the music superstar died of an opioid overdose.
The 57-year-old singer was found dead April 21 at his Minneapolis-area estate.
The official, who is close to the investigation, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
Investigators have been reviewing whether Prince died of an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death.

That stuff, mixed w/heroin, is what killed Phillip Seymour Hoffmann.

but how, exactly? I'd like to know. Does that mean he took too many pills? Did he have too many Fentanyl patches on his body?
"Self-administered Fentanyl" is not descriptive enough, dammit.

(135,425 posts)6. He might have injected a heroin/fentanyl mix that was mostly fentanyl.
That's what got PSH, as I mentioned above.

(9,035 posts)7. they are probably afraid that people will start using Fentanyl
to be like Prince.
Some people are stupid enough to emulate something like that because they thought that Prince is the Mozart of today.
Prince is NOT today's Mozart. Geez.
