Music icon Prince allegedly died of an opioid overdose, a law-enforcement source who insisted on anonymity told The Associated Press.

Prince, 57, was found in an elevator on his Minnesota estate on April 21.

The AP writes:

The official, who is close to the investigation, spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

Investigators have been reviewing whether Prince died of an overdose and whether a doctor was prescribing him drugs in the weeks before his death.

This story is developing.
