To his family, hes a loved one.
In life, he was a very private person.
Were going to respect his privacy and dignity and hope you do as well.
We also respect the medias right to information.
Bear in mind this incident happened 29 hours ago and continues to be under investigation.
There are some things regarding this investigation I will not be able to talk about.
Staff members from Paisley Park had been unable to contact Prince yesterday morning, he said.
They went to check on him and found him unresponsive.
Nobody else was inside.
He also called Princes death unwitnessed, which is why they processed the crime scene using a crime lab.
