Today, music legend and eccentric pop culture icon Prince died at age 57.
While police are still investigating the cause of his death, TMZ has obtained the audio recording of the 911 call made after he was found dead at his Paisley Park compound in his native Minnesota.
In the emergency dispatch call, an operator is heard confirming a "male down, not breathing" at Prince's address.
According to TMZ, the singer was found unconscious in an elevator in his home. Paramedics attempted CPR, but were unable to revive him.
Prince was pronounced dead on the scene at 10:07 a.m., central time.
Last week, after a concert in Atlanta, the singer was rushed to the hospital after his plane made an emergency landing in Illinois.
Reps for Prince informed media he was battling a bad case of the flu, and that he had been treated and was back on the plane bound for home within three hours.
The "Purple Rain" megastar performed a concert the next day and assured fans he was fine.
Now, fans are wondering if there may have been a deeper issue that the notoriously private celebrity was hiding.
Some have speculated that he knew his death was pending, as he began penning his memoirs last month and made a eerie comment during a party at Paisley Park last weekend.
"Wait a few days before you waste any prayers," he told attendees.
