New findings from a search warrant for Prince's medical records, obtained by ABC affiliate KSTP, indicate that Prince received a prescription shortly before his death.
According
to the search warrant, a physician prescribed medication to Prince on
April 7. The prescription was reportedly to be filled at a Walgreens.
The
paper also claims that Prince underwent tests on April 20, the day
before he died. According to the document, a doctor was expected to drop
off the results of the tests at Prince's Paisley Park residence on
April 21, the day Prince was found unresponsive at home.
No
details were given as to what Prince was being treated for, but KSTP
reports that investigators were told Prince was treated for an illness
in 2014 or 2015 at Ridgeview Hospital in Chaska, Minnesota. Prince's
medical records were later sealed.
On
Tuesday, the Carver County Sheriff's Office tweeted that "detectives
are revisiting the scene at Paisley Park as a component of a complete
investigation." No other information was available.
Last week, the Star Tribune reported that
the painkiller Percocet was present in Prince's body when he was found
on April 21, citing a source familiar with the ongoing investigation.
The
same source told the paper that it's unclear whether the potent opioid
caused or contributed to the legendary musician's death.
Results from a toxicology report have yet to be released.
