Prince’s Death — Did Minneapolis Mayor Just Make Shocking Admission?

The city of Minneapolis is still reeling from the sudden death of hometown hero Prince — and now the mayor just shocked the city with a bizarre statement on the death of the legendary rock star! "I'd been working with Prince's team for months to find a way in Minneapolis to honor Prince in a way that he would appreciate and deserve," said Mayor Betsy Hodges.

The shocking declaration on social media now has fans wondering if Mayor Hodges already knew that the legendary rock star was in his sad final days! Local journalists immediately rushed to ask Hodges what inspired her to look into a tribute for the local rock god.

Other grieving fans in the city were just as perplexed. "Prince's next birthday was June 7," said a Minneapolis club owner. "Any kind of 'honor' built around that birthday would've been announced long ago — and it was Prince's 58th birthday, which isn't any kind of milestone!"

Meanwhile, fans are also dealing with the announcement that Prince's autopsy has been concluded. "Gathering the results will take several days," announced the statement from the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office. "The results of a full toxicology exam could likely take weeks."

The statement also revealed that Prince's body was being released to his body on the afternoon of Friday, April 22. No announcements have been made about a funeral or a memorial service.
