It's still unclear exactly how Prince died.

The iconic pop star was found unresponsive in an elevator Thursday at his Paisley Park recording complex. He was pronounced dead less than 30 minutes after authorities arrived on the scene.

An autopsy was performed Friday in Minnesota, but a spokesperson for the medical examiner's office told CNN it could be days or weeks before the results are released.
