>> there is no information at this time in regard to exactly what you're talking about. it is part of the investigation. let me give you a little bit background about midwest medical examiner's. we're working as part of the investigative team with the sheriff's office. so much of the answers that i will be able to give you today will include the word pending. so we received a call at 10:12 yesterday morning to come assist the carver county sheriff's office in this investigation. our chief medical examiner arrived on the scene at 11:30 yesterday morning local time and was on the scene for several hours. the autopsy this morning began at 9:00 a.m. central daylight time and concluded at 1:00 p.m. and just shortly i received word that his body did leave midwest medical examiner's office and was released to the family. as you know it was a very meticulous exam. it was a complete exam. so several pieces of information that are gathered in that process will be sent to labs for further testing. so that answer is pending. and it will take days and weeks to complete those particular investigations. >> is it possible to say when he died? i know time of death was pronounced at seven minutes past 10:00 but had he been dead overnight in the elevator? do you know when he stopped breathing? >> that information is pending. >> do you know when he was removed from the building, paisley park. >> 10:59. >> that is when he left paisley park to your office? >> yes. >> my question for the sheriff, wtco radio of the was there any extra people brought in because this was prince or any extra deputies anything like that different because it was prince? >> there were a number of people that started gathering across the street very early. as well as media. so yes, we certainly did bring other people in to help from a crowd control standpoint. and to assist us with that. as far as from a processing, scene processing standpoint it's a very large area, paisley park is. so we had to bring in a couple extra people. that was part of the reason also having the county assist us. >> searching room to room is that what irtalking about because of build size? >> yes. the building is pretty big. >> are there surveillance cameras at paisley park and do you have them? >> that is, that will be part of the investigation. i don't want to comment on that right now. >> did he appear to use the sell elevator or thought he was about to pass out or take a stairwell. does he have access to stairways? >> i has access to stairways. paisley park is a pretty big place. not unusual to take the elevator. the stairways are pretty long. i can't say. >> -- that collapsed inside of elevator? >> he was collapsed inside of the elevator, that is correct. i haven't been over, go ahead. >> do you know when last time he was seen alive at what point he had retired for the night?

>> you know there have been so many rumors i read about, i don't know if i candies pell all the rumors out there. no. this is under investigation. and, yeah, it is under investigation still. >> one more question. -- issue. >> we did do a search warrant, yes. and that is also would be normal protocol. paisley park is very large. it's hard to say who had control at the time or who could have given us to process the scene. thought it would be safer and better for us to get search warrant confront end. >> [inaudible] >> search warrant has not been filed yet. it will be filed next week 1/2. >> [inaudible] >> to process the scene at paisley park. or process the area at paisley park and i don't have a copy of that search warrant in front of me so the. >> was a representative from the medical examiner's office, i want to ask you, procedure you developed with different offices -- some offices sometimes release initial preliminary information that has nothing to do with the toxicology test, for example, that might give you indication how long he had been dead and was found. are you going to have a preliminary report on some initial information before we get the toxicology thing or -- >> short answer is no. the explanation is that we are here in the capacity of serving the carver county sheriff's office as part of that investigative team and so we will complete our results and on behalf of the midwestern medical examiner's office the office will not release any information until our results are complete. it is determined by the sheriff what his office chooses to release, whether it is preliminary, as it comes in, or when it is complete. >> okay. >> was his body released to his -- nelson, only full blood relative left? >> his body was released to his family. >> to be clear, you do not have a preliminary cause of death or you are not willing to share it? >> our results are pending. >> what do you expect the timeline to be for your report. >> it could be days depending on type of test and most likely weeks to have the complete set of results available to us. that's whemidwest medical examiner's office would release it. >> sheriff, how many investigators do you currently have working on this and how many agencies are working together to -- [inaudible] >> we've got, you know, three, four agencies that are working on this and i've got a number of detectives that are working on it. this is a very large, let me rephrase that. this is a high-profile case for us but the county continues, life in the county continues to go on and there is also other cases that we have we are currently working on the i'm not sure exactly how many detectives i have working specifically on this case right now. >> sheriff -- >> yes, ma'am? >> so plane landed in illinois, we know that. when he refuse ad room at the hospital and says reports kind of indicate now, are you looking into any -- was there anything unusual at msp or wherever he landed up here that you can talk about or know about. >> i know as much about that currently that, you do from reading the paper. >> i can address that. >> ox, thank you. >> so again, speaking on behalf of our chief medical examiner. when we say we'll be doing a complete exam, that not only includes the present state of the body that is brought to us but also the medical history of the individual, the family medical history of the individual. so those types of things will be encompassed in the medical examiner's report that will be delivered to the sheriff for his investigation. >> which would include reaching back to illinois? >> it will include his medical history, his social history and his family's medical history as well. sir? >> [inaudible] -- get those medical records? >> i would assume they would request them as part of this investigation. >> between us and the medical examiner, absolutely, we do have access to those. >> [inaudible] >> at this point we have not reached out to the bca for assistance with this. >> is the prince family cooperating with this investigation? are they pretty willing and helping? i talked to a couple of family members yesterday and they said they're trying to keep a lot of things kind of quiet. are they working with you in any way? >> yeah. i have had contact with prince's family and prince's representatives and they have been very cooperative. we haven't had any problems with that at all. >> were there no obvious signs of trauma, what does that mean?

>> yes. that road will be closed up until monday. go ahead. >> [inaudible]. could you describe to us exactly what sort of test you will undertake in they i case when there is unwitnessed death? >> is she talking to you? i'm sorry. i will get out of your way. >> so essentially it will be a full panel of tests of the there will be tissue samples done. and there will also be toxicology samples done based on blood draws. that is the most i'm going to about it at some time. >> what types of toxicology tests would you normally undertake in a case. >> the fell spectrum. that is the most i will say about it. >> sheriff, can you talk about the last time he was seen wednesday night at 8:00 p.m.?

was he in day clothes or sleeping clothes, overnight clothes. >> he was, i can't say i know versus what he may go out in. so i don't know for sure if those were sleep clothes or what type of clothes. >> [inaudible] >> he had on shirt. he had on pants of some sort. he was dressed. >> sheriff, question here. was there an elevator phone and if so, when was the last time this elevator was in in inspected? do you have that kind of information. >> i don't think there was elevator phone. i don't think so. yes? >> [inaudible] >> if there are things that should lead us that direction, sure, we would certainly do that. >> [inaudible] >> poured -- pardon?

>> there were no obvious signs of trauma to the body that we observed. i don't know what the medical examiner found during the autopsy, if anything had showed but there was nothing that indicated obvious sign of trauma ♪ [laughter] [inaudible] >> go ahead, ma'am. >> was there a cell phone there and was there any kind of indication he reached for his cell phone or made any attempt to call for help? >> i don't recall seeing a cell phone in the close proximity. i don't recall a cell phone in the close proximity to where he was at. >> if some of his staff had cell phones would you check their records or see if there were any pictures? >> that would be part of the our investigation. i don't want share that at this time. >> sheriff, did you see the body yourself. >> i was there for a period of time yesterday. >> [inaudible] >> no. i had other things that were boeing on. >> how would you describe the mood at -- mood inside of paisley park at that moment, obviously when prince was dead what was the mood inside?

any potential criminal charges? >> this all continues to be under investigation and we're, we'll do a complete and thorough investigation and it is better with this for us to do it well than for us to do it fast. so we're going to do the best job that we can. >> sheriff, i wonder does your department normally carry antidote for heroin or opium overdoses and -- >> all of our officers carry narcan. we've been carrying that approximately for two years. that was not used at all yesterday. i heard somebody over in this direction? >> sure. >> okay. >> the person who did make the 911 call, that from the transcript didn't know the address. did they know the address where they were? >> i don't know that would be unusual with that, for not knowing the address. i mean, i'm sure they knew where it was, a lot of, i'm sure there is probably a number of people out here don't necessarily know the address to their news buildings and so on and i don't think that would be unusual. >> sheriff, would private citizens be allowed to have narcan or -- >> there is currently discussion going on from legislative standpoint. i don't believe the at this point i don't believe private citizens can have narcan. >> only professionals?

[booing] >> i'm doing my share. delaware lost 1/3 of its manufacturing jobs since china entered the world trade organization in 2000. [booing] this region of the state also lost 1/3 of its manufacturing job, same period, china. by the way lyin' ted cruz supports chinese currency cheating. [booing] think of it. he voted against the amendment to try to block currency cheating by china. and ted cruz voted against it and it is the single biggest weapon that china and other countries have against us for just absolutely destroying our businesses. this guy voted against it. it is almost impossible to vote against it if you love our country but you know what happened? somebody got to him and said listen, we want you to vote against it because some company or some country didn't want it. this is with we have running for office. no more, folks. we're going to end it, okay?

[booing] and kasich voted for nafta which is cleaned our clock for years. when he was a congressman. so we can't let that stuff happen, folks. by the way, trans-pacific partnership is worse than nafta. it will be worse. we have to stop it. we're going to stop it. we got to stop it, okay? obama wants it. if obama wants it you know it is no good, okay? [cheering] oh, man, oh, man. couple more and because i hate to do it, like so negative, right? but it doesn't matter. because if i become president we are going to turn it around. we'll make great trade deals.

[laughter]. but i've known delaware for a long time it's a great place. we'll get rid of all the bad stuff we talk about. we're going to get rid of it. we have to do that also at a federal level. you can't allow to policy that allows china and mexico and japan and vietnam and india you, you can't allow policy that allows these businesses to be ripped out of your state like candy from a baby, folks, like candy from a baby. it will all end. we'll talk about that. what is nice about new york, they know me the best. i grew up in new york and been in new york a long time. i've been public, been well-vetted, anything i ever done, if i sneeze it is a big story. but they know me, and they know me well and to win by that kind of of a margin is, not just size of new york even another person from another state, friend of mine called me from another state, the nice part because they know you so well, to win by overwhelming number is great tribute. i just wanted to get over 50. we got a lot over 50. there are a lot of great people in new york. i went over the state, i know new york state well, sir crews, albany, long island, bethpage, we went all over and suffolk county, it is horrible what is going on. you look at, same here, same everywhere. it is interesting because i always ask for these things, you know, this stuff. and i ask for it. and i say, you know the statisticians, they fet it out of the books. they get it out of government books. i say give me the information. so i have done many speeches in many places over the last, you know couple of months. and it is like always the same. the manufacturing jobs are being stolen. our jobs are being taken. we're losing at every front. there's nothing good. our country doesn't win anymore. you just look. it is same thing, whether it's delaware or whether it's syracuse, new york, or whether it's albany. we had 21,000 people in albany show up, incredible people in an arena, great arena. we had 21,000 people. we have thousands and thousands of people show up at every stop. it is always the same. i say get me the information. if the information was good i would like to read it. i would much rather read it than read this stuff. it is always the same the jobs are being stripped. the factories are closing. you ride through some of these communities go from the airport to venue like this you see all of the closures. you see it. you can see it. it was a thriving place 20 years ago, 10 years ago. 30 yearsing a. years ago. it has been stripped. we'll not let it happen anymore, folks, okay? we're not going to be the dummies. we're not going to be the dummies.
