Minnesota prosecutors object to giving data to Prince family
CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota prosecutors say they'll object to releasing data connected to Prince's death because a criminal investigation is ongoing.
KSTP-TV reported this week that attorneys for Prince's family members are requesting access to investigative data as the siblings determine whether to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Prince died April 21, 2016, from an accidental overdose of fentanyl. It's not yet clear how he obtained the drug.
Prosecutors in Carver County released a statement Friday saying law enforcement data is confidential because the investigation is active. It will stay confidential until a charging decision is made.
