The reports say prescription painkillers 2 were found on the 57-year-old artist and in his home. The Minneapolis Star Tribune also reported that it was not clear whether the drugs were prescribed to Prince.


Prince died April 21. Doctors have completed an examination of his body but results are not expected for several weeks.
