No criminal charges will be filed in Prince’s death, and evidence shows that the musician thought he was taking a common painkiller instead of a counterfeit pill containing the fentanyl that killed him, a Minnesota prosecutor said. No criminal charges will be filed in Prince’s death, and evidence shows that the musician thought he was taking a common painkiller instead of a counterfeit pill containing the fentanyl that killed him, a Minnesota prosecutor said. The lack of criminal charges does not mean that associates did not enable the singer’s habits, Mr Metz said, but there is no evidence any of them knew about the fentanyl. “We do not have evidence that a specific person provided fentanyl to Prince,” he said. That prescription was not linked to Prince’s death.
