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.
