Prince's body to be released to family as autopsy is now completed

The Chief Medical Examiner for the Midwest Medical Examiners Office released a statement today (April 22) regarding the status of the autopsy which took four hours. With the autopsy finished, the body will now be released to Prince's family.

The statement explained that full results for the autopsy could take up to a few weeks as Prince's medical records and other documents have to be reviewed.

Martha Weaver, the spokesperson for the Examiners Office, wrote:

"As part of the complete exam, relevant information regarding (Prince's) medical and family history will be gathered. Anything which could be relevant to the investigation will be taken into consideration.

"Midwest Medical Examiners Office will not release information until the exam is complete and all results are obtained.

"Gathering results will take several days and the results of a full toxicology scan could likely take weeks."
