“Prince’s remains have been cremated and their final storage will remain private. We ask for your blessings and prayers of comfort for his family and close friends at this time.

The brief statement also served as a notice to those eager to know exactly how the 57-year-old died.

“The cause of death remains unknown and it will be at least four weeks before we receive the results of the autopsy. An announcement will be made at a future date for a musical celebration,” it said.

Reports suggest that Prince may have overdosed on the painkiller Percocet. The drug contains acetaminophen and oxycodone, an opioid, and is known to be highly addictive.

According to TMZ, Prince was taking the painkillers for a hip problem. The singer had hip surgery in 2010.
