Minn. Police Release Transcript of 911 Call from Prince’s Compound

Minnesota police tonight released the transcript of the 911 call made from Prince‘s Paisley Park compound from the individual who found him unresponsive in the elevator.

According to Fox11, the person who called said they desperately need an ambulance was stammering that “the person is dead” as the operator asked for an address.

The caller said, “The people are just distraught.” They eventually got the operator the address and made it clear to the operator that 1) they’re calling from Prince’s compound, and 2) Prince was the one they found possibly dead.

Here’s the relevant portion:

UM: Um, so we’re, we’re in Minneapolis, Minnesota and we are at the home of Prince.

EC: You’re in Minneapolis?

UM: Yea, Minneapolis, Minnesota.

EC: You’re sure you are in Minneapolis?

UM: That’s correct.

EC: Okay, have you found an address yet?

UM: Yea, um, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry I need, I need the address here?

UF: 7801

UM: 7801

EC: 7801 what?

UM: Paisley Park, we are at Paisley Park.

EC: You’re at Paisley Park, okay, that’s in Chanhassen. Are you with the person who’s…

UM: Yes, it’s Prince.

EC: Okay.
