Prince's brother and former employee, Duane Nelson, passes away at 52

[Out of respect and keeping the Nelson family privacy to mourn in mind. This thread will not be featured on the front page. Post your condolences here folks, thanks. - luv4u]

[WARNING: Any posts created to bait/flame, etc.; will be removed and/or snipped by the mods and could result in possible further action taken - luv4u]

I was informed by a family member of Prince, that Prince's brother and former employee, Duane Nelson, was found dead in his apartment today. I don't know the details but thay wanted to inform the org about this tragic loss. People please keep the Nelson family in your prayers, I know I will and God Bless...

This is so sad. Was he married? Did he have any children? Was he employed anywhere in the last 2 years? I ask these questions because I hope he didn't die lonely, poor and broken hearted.
