Murder Cops ‘Called To Probe Prince’s Death As Hunt For Drug Pushers Intensifies’
Police are probing whether Prince was killed by drug dealers after revelations the singer stayed awake for six days before his death.
The homicide detectives’ hunt for suppliers who may have illegally stocked the music pioneer with opiates to feed his apparent addiction are being hunted.
And police chiefs in Minneapolis have refused to rule out a criminal homicide charge.
It’s reported business associates of Prince, above, who died on Thursday at his Paisley Park estate in Minneapolis aged 57, have told cops he may have been killed.
Detectives are said to have now been given “carte blanche” to look into his affairs over the last two years, after Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson, below, gave a statement on his death on Friday.
Staff who work at the Paisley Park complex, below, are having their mobile phones, computers and email accounts examined by the authorities, the Daily Star reported.
A police source told the paper: “A crack team have been assigned with learning minute by minute what Prince was doing during his final days.
“But the investigation will also look into his activities over the last two years.”
It is claimed Prince’s staff had built a “wall of steel” around him to stop details of his alleged opiate addiction leaking out, and that he stayed up for six days straight before he was found dead in a lift at his mansion.
The Purple Rain hitmaker reportedly had a habit of firing his advisors if he did not agree with what they said.
