Police in Chanhassen, Minnesota were very familiar with Prince’s Paisley Park estate as law enforcement officials have revealed they responded to calls from his residence 46 times before the singer’s untimely death.
The Wrap noted that a report from the Carver County Sheriff’s Office showed that the nearly 50 calls police received from the home over the last five years ranged in everything from trespassers to someone claiming they had been raped. The latter dealt with a woman in South Carolina who told police she got a call from someone who sounded “panicked” and when she and the alleged victim hung up, the woman called back the number and it went to Paisley Park. However, a person associated with the compound said no one was at the estate during the time when the call supposedly went out and officers who responded to the scene said that there were no cars in the lot. The identity of the caller remains unknown.
The final call from Paisley Park made to the police department was on April 21 when Prince was found unresponsive in an elevator of the home. The singer was later pronounced dead and the exact cause of his death has not yet been made public.
