Authorities investigate death at Prince’s recording studio

CHANHASSEN, Minn. (AP) – Authorities are investigating a death at Paisley Park, where pop superstar Prince has his recording studios.

The Carver County Sherriff’s Office tweeted that the investigation began on Thursday morning.

Carver County Chief Sheriff’s Deputy Jason Kamerud told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that officials are withholding information about the identity of the deceased person until next of kin has been notified. A news release will come afterward.

Prince was reported to have been hospitalized in Illinois on Friday on his way back from a concert in Atlanta. He subsequently appeared at a dance party at Paisley Park.
