A search warrant reveals that a Minnesota doctor saw Prince twice in the month before his death – including the day before he died – and prescribed him medication.

An unnamed source told the newspaper last week that the meds the doctor had prescribed Prince were aimed at treating him for withdrawal symptoms from opioid addiction.
Schulenberg told authorities he arrived at Paisley Park the morning of Prince’s death to deliver test results, according to the search warrant affidavit obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
The police also conducted another search of the pop star’s Minneapolis home and seized medical records from the hospital where Schulenberg worked, it shows.
The official told the Associated Press on Wednesday that the search for internet suppliers involves examining computer drives from Prince’s Minnesota home, where he was found dead on April 21.
In the weeks since Prince’s death, it was reported that he was preparing to enter treatment for opioid dependency, according to an attorney for the California doctor Howard Kornfeld. A medical examiner has said full results of a post-mortem examination could take several weeks to obtain, although the Carver County Sheriff’s office said there was no sign of trauma or evidence of suicide.
Detectives also revisited Paisley Park on Tuesday as “a component of a complete investigation”, the Carver County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on Twitter, without providing further details. The warrant did not reveal the medications that Schulenberg prescribed the late singer.
According to the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice website, Schulenberg has not been subjected to any disciplinary or corrective action in Minnesota or other states.
Lisa Steinbauer, a spokeswoman for Ridgeview, said Schulenberg left the health care system in August of 2014. He’s a 1995 graduate of the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine. Also, two Prince concerts in Atlanta are postponed. It would be Kornfeld and two of Prince’s reps that would find the singer in an elevator, and it would be Kornfeld who would make the 911 call. Prince was back on his feet the next day, hosting a dance party at his residence and showing off his brand new purple piano. Instead, he sent his son and associate, Andrew Kornfeld, to fill Prince in on the medical care that the clinic could offer him.
That grim discovery was made by a small group that included Andrew Kornfeld, the son of Dr. Kornfeld.

“Once federal authorities like the DEA start asking questions, people get pretty anxious and go into hiding”, a legal source said.
