The great Prince passed away at his Paisley Park estate outside Minneapolis, Minnesota on April 21st last.

Since then, the world has mourned, and the rumours have been rife about the artist’s cause of death.

It has been several weeks, and the coroner has spoken to the Associated Press about what happened to the musician.

Sadly, it seems that the speculation around a possible overdose has turned out to be the truth.

Investigators have been looking into the possibility that a doctor was over-prescribing Prince painkillers before his death.
