Prince Purple Rain

The official results of Prince’s autopsy have confirmed that the singer died of a self-administered fentanyl overdose.

The music legend was found dead on April 21, and on Thursday the Midwest Medical Examiner’s office released the results of the autopsy that was conducted shortly thereafter.

Here are five things that we learned from the report.

Prince overdosed on Fentanyl

Previous reports said the singer overdosed of unspecific opioid use, but Thursday’s results confirmed that the cause of his death was “self-administered fentanyl.”

The painkiller was apparently prescribed to Prince following a hip surgery.

The week before his death, Prince’s plane reportedly made an emergency landing at Quad City International Airport in Moline, Illinois, as the singer was en route home from a concert in Atlanta.
