NEW YORK: Investigators looking into pop legend Prince’s death believe that counterfeit pills may have killed him, a report said on Monday. A daily newspaper in Prince’s hometown of Minneapolis said that authorities turned to the theory after seizing pills from Prince’s estate. The confiscated pills were marked as hydrocodone, a commonly prescribed drug for moderate pain relief, but in fact contained fentanyl, an intensely powerful painkiller for which Prince had no prescription. An autopsy earlier found that Prince died on April 21 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl.
