The shock of the sudden death of Prince has set off a fire-storm of questions.
How did he die?
Why didn’t he have a will?
Did he die of a drug overdose from pain killers?
His last moments alive leading up to his death?
What will become of his unreleased songs?
An autopsy report is still several weeks away to determine the cause of his death. Investigators are looking into whether Prince died from a drug overdose. Law enforcement officials are trying to determine if a doctor was prescribing him drugs and was on the plane that made an emergency landing in Illinois less than a week before Prince died.
His sister Tyka Nelson filed paperwork asking Minneapolis court to appoint a trustee to oversee his multimillion-dollar estate. This could be tangled up in for years since he did not have a known will.
The trustee of Prince’s estate, hired a company to drill through Prince’s personal vault at Paisley Park on Tuesday. It was a move by the bank to quickly get inside the vault to safeguard and handle all of Prince’s assets.
The vault is rumored to store Prince’s invaluable recordings, its suspected to contain more than 500 songs that could produce albums for another 100 years.
Already the fighting has begun, Prince’s sister stormed out of meeting about the singer’s $300m estate after one of her brothers questioned why he wasn’t invited to the memorial service.
Hopefully, this will get smoothed out real soon, so fans can continue to honor and keep his legacy alive.
