Prince ‘treated for drug overdose’ days before being found dead in a lift.

 The Raspberry Beret singer was found dead at his Paisley Park Minneapolis mansion on Thursday morning

 

Prince was treated for a drug overdose six days before his death, it’s been claimed.

According to US gossip website TMZ, the music icon underwent the treatment when his private plane made an emergency landing last Friday following his performance in Atlanta.

The show had initially been pushed back a week as it was said the singer had been suffering from the flu.
Multiple sources reportedly told the site that doctors administered a “save shot”, which they say is typically given to counteract the effects of an opiate.
They claim doctors advised the Raspberry Beret singer to stay in hospital but they couldn’t offer him a private room so he and his team left after just three hours.

Authorities are now believed to be trying to get the hospital records to help determine the cause of death.
Mirror Celebs has contacted reps for Prince for comment.

Following his hospital stay it was claimed he returned home to recover from the flu.
The star was reportedly pictured at around 7pm on Wednesday night visiting a Walgreens pharmacy near to his home.

 Prince's body was found slumped in an elevator in his million pound Paisley Park estate on Thursday morning.
His death is currently being investigated and an autopsy is due to take place on Friday.
