The report comes more than a month after the 57-year-old entertainer was was found at his Minneapolis-area estate.

Investigators have been trying to determine if Prince died of an overdose and if a doctor had prescribed anything in the weeks before his death.
Legal experts say the finding could make the prospect of criminal charges more likely.
They point out that while it has medical applications, it’s frequently associated with illegal trafficking.
One lawyer not linked to the cases says categorizing the death as accidental indicates only that it was not intentional, but that it does not preclude charges if the fentanyl was supplied illegally.
