The family of Minnesota rock legend Prince, who died of a fentanyl overdose in 2016, has officially filed their lawsuit against medical companies and a doctor they say failed to treat his addiction and provided narcotics without a proper prescription.
Court records show the lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County last week. It names Iowa Health System (UnityPoint), the parent company of the Illinois hospital that treated Prince days before his death, Walgreens, North Memorial Health Care and Dr. Michael T. Schulenberg as defendants.
"All of the defendants had an opportunity and a duty during the weeks before Prince's death to diagnose and treat Prince's opioid addiction, and to prevent his death," the lawsuit alleges. "They failed to do so."
