It has recently been revealed that Prince kept opioids in aspirin bottles around his home to hide his addiction.
The court documents were kept sealed until Monday because prosecutors feared potential witnesses might flee or potential evidence be destroyed.
They show that some of the pills found at Prince’s home were labelled “Watson 853” – the opioid painkiller acetaminophen-hydrocodone.
Painkillers: Prince was in possession of many powerful painkillers
They confirm last year’s media reports that painkillers were in the singer’s possession following his death.
According to the post-mortem report, Prince self-administered fentanyl, an opioid many times more powerful than heroin.
The documents do not solve the mystery of where Prince got the powerful opioid fentanyl that killed him.
