We know how Prince died, but we don't know why.

We know his staff and doctors tried to save him, but we don't know who might have played a role in his death. We know he didn't leave a will, but we don't know why. We know his estate, especially his musical legacy, is worth millions but not exactly how much, and we don't know if his famous "unreleased tapes in the vault" will ever be available to his grieving fans.

The questions still outnumber the answers four months after the pop icon was found dead in an elevator at his Paisley Park estate outside Minneapolis on April 21.

Why? Because the police investigating this high-profile celebrity death aren't talking. Some court documents, such as full autopsy reports, are not public records under Minnesota law. Prince's relatives, employees and friends, even his ex-wives, apparently knew less about the 57-year-old star's habits than they thought. And because Prince failed to leave a will, the probate proceeding is even more complicated — and non-transparent — than usual.

Here's the official response from the law firm representing Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson. "Out of respect for Prince’s family and attorney/client privilege, we are not commenting on this matter," said Lynn Shelander, marketing manager for the Gray Plant Mooty firm of Minneapolis, in an email to USA TODAY.

Here's what we know and don't know:

Cause of death: The shock of his death was followed in June by the shock of its cause: Prince died from an accidental, self-inflicted overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, according to the Midwest Medical Examiner, which conducted the autopsy in Carver County, Minn.

Was the famously clean-living Prince a longtime drug abuser or a first-time user? We may never know because full autopsy reports are not public under Minnesota law, and generally remain private for at least 30 years.

See they ain't forgot about him. They just had to pretend there's other more important stuff to talk about in the world. They still watching out.

Of course that long-time drug abuser, first time user part kind threw me.

I think it's very likely. Especially since they mention "his grieving fans". This is THE place. The most vibrant online community regarding P. That's why we are here, right? Lol

Well now...with that comment, you have me wondering about some org notes I've gotten in the last couple of days. Hmmmmm.

Its an acknowledgment of sorts, and a vein runs Deep through a significant amount of the population who need some acknowledgment on the state of the matter.

If nothing else the media lurkers should have been entertained by the org's healthy sense of humor thanks to some members

Let's hope they enjoyed the cunning-linguist thread

Why did they leave him alone that night? He was NOT a drug addict. I wish people would stop saying that.

No matter what they say, the fact is that Prince is dead. I'm not prone to believe the papers or magazines anyway.
