 The document said Dr. Michael Todd Schulenberg was at the
star's Paisley Park Studios compound in suburban Minneapolis to
drop off test results when Prince's body was found in an
elevator on April 21.
The affidavit said Schulenberg had also prescribed Prince
medication, but did not specify what those medications were or
whether the prescription had been filled. The search warrant was
carried out on May 5 at North Memorial Medical Center.
Health system spokeswoman Lesa Bader told the Los Angeles Times
that Schulenberg no longer works for the system. Barb Stevenson,
a spokeswoman reached by Reuters, said she could provide no
information on the case.
Schulenberg, whose name was misspelled in the documents
according to the Los Angeles Times, also could not be reached
for comment on Tuesday night.
Detectives also revisited Paisley Park on Tuesday as "a
component of a complete investigation," the Carver County
Sheriff's Office said in a statement on Twitter, without
providing further details.

Prince died one day before he was scheduled to meet another doctor
who specializes in addiction treatment for a "life-saving mission,"
that doctor's lawyer said at a news conference last Wednesday.
California doctor Howard Kornfeld was first contacted by Prince's
representatives on April 20, one day before the singer's body was
discovered at his home, attorney William Mauzy told reporters.
Prescription opioid medication was found at the scene, according to
a law enforcement source with knowledge of the investigation but who
is not authorized to speak publicly.
