Prince Death Investigation Will Remain Sealed, Judge Orders

Authorities apparently won’t be shedding any light on the death of music legend Prince anytime soon.

The investigation into the “Little Red Corvette” singer’s death earlier this year has been placed under seal until April 17, 2017.

The search warrant for the investigation was due to expire on Monday; however, on Friday, a judge in Minnesota extended the seal “until commencement of criminal proceedings” or April 17, “whichever comes first.”

The seal covers the warrant and “all accompanying documents involved in this death investigation, because disclosure of these documents could create a substantial risk of a search or a related search to become unsuccessful or severely hamper an ongoing investigation,” the suit states.

The order notes that “state and federal law enforcement agencies continue an active, multi-state investigation into the death” of Prince.

Prince died in April at age 57 at his Paisley Park home in Minnesota of what was found to be an overdose of the opioid painkiller Fentanyl.

His death occurred just days after he was reportedly treated for an overdose of the opioid painkiller Percocet. Prince was found unresponsive in the elevator of the mansion, which has since been converted to a museum honoring the musician’s life.

The singer was reportedly scheduled for an “emergency” meeting with an addiction specialist the day after his death.
