Someone has died at Paisley Park, and as of right now, we don’t know who it was. The Minneapolis CBS station WCCO reports that police are investigating a fatality at Prince’s Minnesota estate, after responding to a report this morning. And TMZ reports that police are notifying the deceased person’s next of kin.

Last week, Prince was hospitalized after making an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois. A rep for Prince reported that he’s been battling the flu. And look: It’s sad whenever anyone dies. But let’s all clasp hands, hold our collective breath, and pray that Prince is still with us.
