Reports: Prince Suffered from Addiction to Painkillers
------------------------------------------------------

Bernie Sanders' remarks on the opiate epidemic come amid reports the
late musical artist Prince suffered from an addiction to painkillers.
New reports say his friends sought urgent help from an addiction doctor
one day before Prince's death last month. The doctor, Howard Kornfeld,
dispatched his son, who was among those to discover Prince's lifeless
body in the elevator at his estate. Test results about the cause of
Prince's death are still pending.
