Media reports say police discovered prescription drugs with
Prince when the entertainer was found dead
at his home last week. Several news organizations, including ABC, CBS, CNN and
NBC, are citing law enforcement
sources
as the
basis of
the information. They do not further identify the sources,
however. The reports say prescription painkillers were found on
the 57-year-old artist and in his home. The Minneapolis Star Tribune also
reported that it was not clear whether the drugs were prescribed to
Prince.

Prince died April 21. Doctors have completed an
examination of his body but results are not expected for several
weeks. Several news groups also reported that Minnesota investigators have asked
the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration for help. However, A Carver County police
official Wednesday night said the DEA "is not part of the investigation at this
time." DEA officials have not commented.
