Speaking after a private family service at the singer’s estate, Mr Phillips reportedly said: “He worked 154 hours straight”. He was a good brother-in-law’.
Particulars surrounding the death of Prince have begun to leak out since the enigmatic legend’s untimely death on Thursday. He was found unresponsive in the elevator of his Paisley Park home and declared dead by paramedics within minutes of their arrival.
The 57 year-old artist was found dead on Thursday by staff members.
The autopsy was conducted on April 22 by the Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office, which released a statement saying: “Gathering the results will take several days and the results of a full toxicology scan could likely take weeks”.

On top of the plans for a Paisley Park museum, fans might also get a chance to honor Prince at a tribute performance, which is now in the works.
Fans pay tribute at the memorial fence outside Paisley Park – which is set to become a museum.
The star’s remains have been cremated and their final resting place will remain private, the publicist added.
He was cremated in a private ceremony at the weekend. Some of Prince’s family and friends gave out at least 15 round purple boxes containing Prince memorabilia like CDs, T-shirts and books to fans gathered there Saturday.
The singer/song writer died last week at his Paisley Park home.
Giving an update on the latest in the police investigation into the singer-songwriter’s death, Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said: “There were no obvious signs of trauma on the body at all”.
Prince was slated to perform two shows earlier this week at the Fox Theatre in St. Louis but canceled last week because of health concerns.
