A live televised press conference is taking place in Minneapolis right now.

.

Information confirmed:

.

1. Post mortem is complete and Prince's body has been released back to family members.

.

2. Confirmed not as suicide.

.

3. Items removed from Paisley Park for examination.

.

That seems all the police and sheriff can confirm at this moment.

.

I wish his family peace at the difficult time and much love4oneanother.

.

I wasn't expecting cause of death but can we at least get time of death? I just hope he didn't linger alone in that elevator for hours.

Initial results will be known in the next few days.

.

Full toxicology results will take weeks!

EMTs were called at 9:43am. The 911 call has the person on the phone saying that it's Prince, and that he is dead. The EMTs pronounced him dead at 10:07am Central Time. Part of the 911 call said he was DOA and not to send other help. The full transcript of the 911 call has been released. He had been gone for a while (although we don't know how long) when he was found.

Exactly. I want to know how long he was dead before they found him.

Sounds like he was dropped off ~8PM after the trip to Walgreens and wasn't discovered until the next morning. I have to think Prince was alone all night. Makes me sad that he passed alone.

Could I take a televised funeral? Raven Sinome, what a dunce.

This very fact has troubled me all day.

.

Prince didn't deserve to die alone.

.

He was loved by many and gave so much - he deserved better, much better.

.

I only hope God was with him.

.

I desperately hope he was not in any pain.

This is so sad. If he wasnt alone he might have been saved. Very upseting.
