HMM: Carver County closes Prince death investigation with no criminal charges.

Metz said county, state and federal investigators undertook an “extensive, painstaking and thorough” investigation but were unable to determine who provided Prince the fentanyl painkillers, disguised as counterfeit prescription medication, that killed the megastar on April 21, 2016.

Metz said there was no evidence that Prince or his associates knew that Prince had taken counterfeit pills marketed under the trade name Vicodin, or that anyone had conspired to kill him.

“There is no reliable evidence showing how Prince obtained the counterfeit Vicodin containing fentaynl,” he added. “The bottom line is that we simply do not have sufficient evidence to charge anyone with a crime related to Prince’s death.”

That’s that then.
