State prosecutors said Prince’s 2016 death — from an accidental fentanyl overdose after taking what he thought was Vicodin — is part of “an unprecedented and horrific epidemic of opioid overdoses in this country” during a press conference announcing no criminal charges will be brought in his death due to a lack of evidence. “Prince’s death is a tragic example that opioid addiction and overdose deaths do not discriminate, no matter the demographic,”Carver County Attorney Mark Metz said at a press conference Thursday.
