Authorities say they have completed the autopsy on Prince’s body, but preliminary findings were not being immediately released.

The Midwest Medical Examiner’s Office said it finished its autopsy on Prince at 1 p.m. Friday, roughly four hours after it began. The 57-year-old musician died a day earlier after he was found unresponsive at his Paisley Park compound.

The medical examiner’s office says that relevant information about Prince’s medical and family history is being collected. The agency says it won’t release its findings until all information is in, including results of toxicology tests, which could take weeks.
