Schulenberg worked at the North Memorial health system’s Minnetonka clinic, said health system spokeswoman Lesa Bader. However, the doctor no longer works with the health system. Bader declined to provide employment dates or describe why Schulenberg’s work with the health system ended.
A review of Schulenberg’s medical license shows no disciplinary action for the physician, who was trained at the Oregon Health Sciences University and has board certification in family medicine.
Carver County Detective Chris Nelson said in a sworn statement used to obtain the warrant that Schulenberg had given a statement to deputies. Nelson wrote in the affidavit that Schulenberg told him that he had treated Prince on April 7 and April 20. He said he arrived at Paisley Park to deliver test results the morning Prince’s body was found.
The warrant does not describe the nature of the tests. Schulenberg also told detectives that he had prescribed Prince medications that were to be filled at a Walgreens.
A source with knowledge of the investigation told the Star Tribune Friday that the doctor had been treating Prince for withdrawal symptoms from opioid addiction several weeks before his death.
The warrant, filed May 6, was accidentally left unsealed until Tuesday, when Carver County learned of the mistake and sent a copy of the order sealing it to the Hennepin County court administrator.
Schulenberg could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
The warrant also reveals that Kirk Anthony Johnson — a close associate of Prince who manages Paisley Park — was present when detectives arrived to investigate the death scene. The Star Tribune reported previously that two staffers were present, along with an emissary sent by an addiction specialist from California, when Prince’s body was found. Prince was reportedly seeking treatment for an addiction to painkillers.
The affidavit says that Christina Wagner, a Carver County detective, had interviewed Johnson, who said that Prince had been treated at Ridgeview Hospital in Chaska for an undescried illness in 2014 or 2015. Johnson told Wagner that Prince had received fluids during the visit.
Johnson left town after Prince’s body was found, reportedly on a pre-scheduled vacation. He could not be reached for comment.
His attorney, F. Clayton Tyler, declined to comment Tuesday.
