"We're at Prince's house," a male caller told the dispatcher, adding that he did not know how Prince died and "the people are just distraught."

Prince was pronounced dead at 10:07 a.m.

The news followed a disturbing incident on April 15, when the "Purple Rain" singer's plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois.

His reps insisted he simply had the flu, and the singer appeared on stage in Detroit on April 16.

Meanwhile, Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson, thanked fans who turned up at the Minneapolis estate to mourn his death, sharing that her brother "loved all of you. Thank you for loving him back."
