The warrant does not mention the kind of tests whose results Schulenberg was set to deliver on April 21, the day of Prince’s death, according to the Star Tribune.
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.
The warrant, which was filed on May 5 and made public this week, states that Schulenberg treated Prince on April 7 and April 20 and prescribed him medication, reported KSTP-TV and the Los Angeles Times.
Investigators interviewed Schulenberg and searched the clinic where he once worked.
The warrant asked for all medical records, documents, reports, charts, photos, prescriptions, doctor’s notes and medical notes related to his treatment of Prince Rogers Nelson, TMZ reported.
The week of his death, Prince had also been scheduled to meet with a Northern California doctor who specialises in opioid-addiction treatment. Instead, Andrew was among three people at Paisley Park when Prince was found unresponsive, and it was he who called 911.
Prince was treated by a family practitioner twice before his death.

Schulenberg’s name does not appear on a list of Minnesota doctors authorized to treat opioid dependency with the drug buprenorphine, according to a database maintained by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. “The doctor was planning on a lifesaving mission”. The Los Angeles Times reported Tuesday that the 57-year-old entertainer had agreed to an intervention not long before his death. Prince was back on his feet the next day, hosting a dance party at his residence and showing off his brand new purple piano. 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. Instead, investigators are focused on the possibility that so-called “drug runners” were obtaining the medications for Prince. However, a law enforcement source told ABC News that DEA agents are among the authorities present.
