Authorities said Thursday morning that they are investigating a death at Prince’s Paisley Park in Chanhassen.
“We’re currently conducting a death investigation and there isn’t much I can say,” said Jason Kamerud, chief sheriff’s deputy for Carver County. “We’re withholding information on the identification of the decedent until after we’ve connected with the next of kin. Once that has been done we will issue a press release.”
Asked specifically if Prince had died, Kamerud repeated that he couldn’t confirm the identity of the decedent. “I appreciate that you need to report responsibly. I want to be responsible to the decedent’s next of kin. I think that’s the respectful thing to do.”
Just last weekend, Prince’s private plane made an emergency landing early Friday morning in Illinois as he was returning to the Twin Cities from two shows in Atlanta on Thursday.
Afterward, a source close to Prince told the Star Tribune that the singer was dehydrated on the flight home.
Prince himself wanted to clarify the situation on Saturday: “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.”
