Sheriff: No Signs of Trauma on Prince's Body

(22 Apr 2016) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus053944 There were no signs of trauma on Prince's body when he was found unresponsive at his home in suburban Minneapolis, and suicide isn't suspected in the musician's death, the local sheriff said Friday. Carver County Sheriff Jim Olson said during news conference that the investigation was ongoing, but that there were no obvious signs of trauma on the body and "we have no reason to believe this was a suicide." The 57-year-old musician was found dead at his home Thursday morning. Despite his debauched stage presence and erotically charged music, Prince had a reputation for clean living and an ability to put on shows that were electrifying in their athleticism. But after his death — following a series of canceled shows, a reported emergency plane landing for medical treatment and a subdued hometown appearance — questions are being raised about whether he was hiding health problems from his fans. An autopsy was completed Friday to determine what caused the death of the "Purple Rain" superstar, though officials said it could take days or weeks before results are released. Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator at his Paisley Park compound in suburban Minneapolis and could not be revived, sheriff's officials said.
