The man who called 911 when Prince died, can be punished – TV 2

The day before the musician Prince died he was flown in medicine against addictive drugs from a detoxification clinic in California.

The medication was prescribed by a doctor who was licensed in Minnesota, where Prince died.

It was one of the artist’s employees called the doctor Howard Kornfeld in California and desperately asked for help to the artist’s dependence on strong painkillers.

Sent son on a plane

Kornfeld, which is the main doctor at the clinic, he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, on a flight to Minnesota with a small amount of the drug buprenorphine luggage, confirms Kornfeld attorney, William Mauzy.

But Kornfeld are not licensed to practice as a doctor in Minnesota, which his son, who is a medical student, nor has. It was the way Andrew Kornfeld who found Prince lifeless and called 911.

– I assume it was done this way to preserve the anonymity of the Prince, but that’s no excuse. This was an unethical way of doing it, and the drug is readily available in Minnesota, says doctor Mark Will Bring at Alltyr Clinic in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Buprenorphine is a drug that is used in Slegemiddelassistert rehabilitation of addicts, and in Norway perhaps best known under preparation name Subutex.

can be prosecuted

Now it turns out that Andrew Kornfeld who ended up calling the emergency call to 911, the be prosecuted for having helped Prince.

Kornfeld lawyer claims that the client is protected from being prosecuted since he can claim that he only acted as a good Samaritan.

the problem is that according to the law, so do not have the person calling 911 immunity if he could expect to get paid in any way by the person in need.

Since Kornfeld traveled from California to Prince in Minnesota, as a posted from a rehabilitation clinic, it is very likely that Prince would pay for this. Therefore will not Kornfeld could assert his innocence in this way, according to TMZ.
