"You know, they're saying flu like symptoms," Franklin told Williams.

"I'm wondering if it had anything to do with this Zika Virus?"

Williams, however, seemed unconvinced:

A police report obtained by RadarOnline.com revealed that cops arrived at his Paisley Park, Minnesota, home around 9:43 am Thursday and found him unresponsive in an elevator. Efforts to revive him with CPR were unsuccessful.
