Authorities returned Tuesday to the Minnesota home of Prince, who died on April 21 at age 57, to continue their investigation into the musician’s death.

A police warrant has also revealed that Dr Michael Schulenberg prescribed medication to the singer on 20 April – the day before he died.
CNN affiliate WCCO reported more than a dozen vehicles were at the house where Prince, 57, died April 21. A spokesperson for the North Memorial Medical Center said that Schulenberg worked as a primary care physician at the Minnetonka clinic, but no longer worked for the health care system. The doctor was also reportedly at Paisley Park to deliver test results on the morning that Prince was found dead.
Carver County Deputy Sheriff Jason Kamerud said the warrant was supposed to have been filed under seal and he had contacted a court administrator to ensure that it was sealed.
The search warrant whose contents were made public Tuesday was carried out at North Memorial Medical Center in the Minneapolis suburb of Robbinsdale. It did not say what medications he was prescribed, or if he ingested them.
The warrant sought “any and all medical records, documents, reports, charts, photographs, prescriptions, doctor notes and medical images for Prince Rogers Nelson”.
“Detectives are revisiting the scene at Paisley Park as a component of a complete investigation”. A law enforcement official who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media said that Prince was found unconscious on the plane and that first responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used to reverse suspected opioid overdoses.
Ms Barb Stevenson, a spokesman reached by Reuters, said she could provide no information on the case.
The claims come after it was reported that Prince was “scheduled to meet with a Californian addiction doctor”, before he passed away on April 21.
The warrant does not clarify if Schulenberg was one of the people who found Prince dead at his home on April 21 or whether Schulenberg arrived when investigators were already at the scene. The attorney refused then to identify the Minnesota doctor, and it was not clear whether that physician had a prior relationship with Prince.

Schulenberg is the second doctor whose name has surfaced in the investigation. He’s a 1995 graduate of the Oregon Health Sciences University School of Medicine.
