PRINCE may have died at least six hours before his body was found, and was given fluids intravenously the day before he died, it was reported.
Post-mortem and toxicology results have yet to be released, but the Star Tribune on Saturday cited sources as saying that Prince grew increasingly agitated following his emergency for an opioid overdose on April 15.
Citing sources with knowledge of the investigation, the newspaper said a responding paramedic told staff, law enforcement officers and others at the scene that Prince may have been dead for at least six hours before he was found unresponsive in a lift at his Paisley Park complex on April 21.
Authorities have said the pop star was alone at the time of his death, and they do not believe suicide or foul play was involved.
Prince’s agitated state led one of his staff members to call someone in New York who had recently worked with the musician, seeking advice, on April 20.
Later that day, Prince was given an intravenous treatment at a hospital, the newspaper report said, citing the source.
It was unclear whether this was before or after a doctor treating him for withdrawal symptoms made a house call.
