Mystery
surrounds the death of Prince, who was found dying in an elevator this
morning just a week after he was rushed to hospital with severe flu
symptoms.
The
57-year-old music icon was found unresponsive in the elevator at his
suburban Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at 9.43am EST today and was
pronounced dead less than 30 minutes later.
His
cause of death is not known, but in a call to paramedics on the way to
Prince's home, a 911 dispatcher said: 'Male down, not breathing.'
Prince's
private plane made an emergency landing in Illinois on Friday so he
could be rushed to hospital because of his flu symptoms, but was
released three hours later and made an appearance at a party in
Minnesota the next day, telling fans to 'wait a few days before you
waste any prayers'.
The
legendary singer had a history of epilepsy, which according to the CDC
can make sufferers more vulnerable to developing serious complications
from flu.
It
has also emerged that Prince made several trips to a Walgreen's
pharmacy in the days before his death and is said to have appeared more
'frail and nervous' than usual on a visit to the store last night.
He
was seen leaving the pharmacy near his compound at around 7pm last
night in what was his fourth visit to the store this week and his final
outing, TMZ reported.
His visits to the drug store came just days after he was rushed to hospital from his private plane with severe flu symptoms.

Prince
had previously revealed that he was epileptic and had suffered seizures
as a child. He was bullied at school over his condition which he said
he dealt with by developing is iconic larger-than-life personality.
The singer, a devout Jehovah's Witness, later told his mother he had been cured by an angel.
The CDC warn that epilepsy can make sufferers more vulnerable to developing serious complications from the flu.
While
Prince never made clear if he was still struggling to live with
epilepsy, his song The Sacrifice of Victor tells the story of a boy who
was 'epileptic 'til the age of seven'.
Meanwhile, Aretha Franklin made the bizarre suggestion that Prince may have contracted the Zika virus.
The
Purple Rain hitmaker had performed at The Fox Theatre in Atlanta on
last Thursday night - the second of two back to back sold out shows -
and had seemed fine during the concert.
Prince made what is believed to have been his final public appearance on Saturday at a dance party in Minnesota.
He
was keen for people to have 'living proof' that he was still alive, and
he arrived at the bash to show off his new guitar and piano.
He didn't sing, but he did tell the crowd: 'Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.'
A picture posted by a fan on Instagram appeared to show Prince riding a bicycle outside his estate on Sunday.
Prince's
$10million Paisley Park sits just more than half an hour outside
Minneapolis, and the musician would host parties and record music at the
estate, according to CBS Minnesota.
Construction
began on the estate, which was designed and owned by Prince, in 1985
and it officially opened on September 11, 1987.
It featured a 12,000 square-foot soundstage, guitar room, game room, and 'The Vault', where he stored unreleased material.
He allowed fans to buy passes to tour the estate in 2000, but no one was allowed in The Vault.
Prince
was known for his sexually charged lyrics and was romantically linked
to a number of male and female stars, including Madonna, Sinead
O'Connor, Kim Basinger, Kylie Minogue, Carmen Electra and Boy George,
among a number of other people.
