The source stressed it still unclear whether the drug caused or contributed to death.

NYT says Prince proved to be doing OK as he organized a house party and rode a bike in a mall parking lot shortly after.
A law enforcement official says investigators want to interview a California doctor and his son about a prescription drug the son brought for Prince before the singer was found collapsed in an elevator at his Minnesota home.
Also on Wednesday, a lawyer for a California addiction doctor said Prince’s representatives had contacted the doctor the evening before his death, adding that the doctor had planned to visitPrince for a “life-saving mission”. Prescription opioid medication was found at the scene, a law enforcement source told Reuters. But lawyers and physicians have said the Kornfelds’ actions to bring buprenorphine to Minnesota on an April 20 flight was foolhardy at best, considering that dozens of Minnesota physicians are licensed to prescribe the drug. In the meantime, his son, Andrew Kornfeld, a clinic staff member, traveled to Minnesota on April 21 for an initial discussion.
Mauzy said the elder Kornfeld had asked a local doctor to see Prince the following morning.
