BGUK_1210736 - Investigators release video of Prince 24 hours before he died and images from inside his home as prosecutors say no-one will face criminal charges in the musician's death. Prince was captured looking pale, gaunt and withdrawn as he entered his doctor's office just 24 hours before his death. The pop superstar was caught on surveillance cameras walking down a hallway with his assistant Kirk Johnson and Dr Michael Todd Schulenberg during his battle with painkiller dependency and opiate withdrawal in the final days of his life. He went in to see the doctor on April 20, 2016, while his closest friends and supporters grew increasingly concerned about his declining health. A day later, on April 21, the 57-year-old suffered a fatal drug overdose. His body was found next to the elevator at his Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. The video clip was released along with a trove of videos, documents and photos from the investigation - including chilling footage taken from inside his house just after he died. They were made public just hours after Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said no one would face criminal charges in the musician's death. Metz confirmed that Prince died of a fentanyl overdose but said no one could be blamed. He added that investigators could not figure out who was giving Prince the counterfeit Vicodin pills - which were laced with fentanyl - that killed him. As well as the video and images, text messages between his doctor and a friend reveal they were increasingly concerned about his health, however, prosecutors said that no one would face charges over singer's drug overdose death They said they don't know who supplied fentanyl pills, which were disguised as fake medication Attorneys also found no evidence Prince or his entourage knew pills he had taken were fake. *BACKGRID DOES NOT CLAIM ANY COPYRIGHT OR LICENSE IN THE ATTACHED MATERIAL.
