Prince Died Day Before He Was Supposed to Meet With an Addiction Doctor: Report

Prince died one day before meeting with a California doctor who specializes in addiction, according to a new report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
The "Purple Rain" singer was allegedly suffering from an addiction to pain killers and had representatives reach out to Dr. Howard Kornfeld, a national authority on opioid addiction treatment, because Prince was "dealing with a grave medical emergency," said William Mauzy, an attorney working with the Kornfeld family.
But Kornfeld couldn't clear his schedule, so he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, in his place. Andrew works with his father at Recovery Without Walls in Mill Valley, Calif. Andrew was supposed to discuss how the confidential treatment plan would work, but when he arrived at Paisley Park the legendary singer couldn't be found.
"The plan was to quickly evaluate his health and devise a treatment plan," Mauzy said to the Star Tribune, speaking on behalf of the Kornfelds. "...The doctor was planning on a lifesaving mission."

Andrew and Prince were scheduled to meet Thursday, April 21, but when he arrived reps for the singer said he was nowhere to be found. It turned out Andrew would be one of three people who would be at the iconic residence when Prince's body was found; he immediately called 911. Because he wasn't familiar with the home, Andrew told the dispatcher, "We're at Prince's house." He didn't know the exact address.
One day after Prince passed away, the medical examiner began his autopsy. She said results, which would also include toxicology, would take "several weeks." Authorities ruled out foul play and suicide.
Recovery Without Walls is a "personalized outpatient clinic, specializing in innovative, evidence-based medical treatment for chronic pain and drug and alcohol addiction," according to the facility's website.
Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud of the Carver County Sheriff's Department wouldn't specifically comment on whether investigators felt a drug overdose was possible, but did tell E! News, "We're continuing to investigate the circumstances of Prince's death. The ME will provide toxicology results with her findings. I expect it to be a few weeks before we have her report(s)."
