Superstar musician Prince was found dead Thursday at his home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, at the age of 57.
Sheriff's officials were summoned to his Paisley Park recording studio at 9:43 am after an unidentified male dialed 911 to report an unconscious person, according to a transcript released Thursday evening by the Carver County Sheriff's Office.
In the 911 call, dispatcher Emily Colestock speaks with an unidentified male, who struggles to find Prince's address, and is eventually assisted by an unidentified female.
At the end of the call, dispatcher Kayley McGarry informs a Ridgeview Ambulance Dispatcher that she "can cancel anybody going" because Prince was dead on arrival.
