Prince's estate filed a wrongful death lawsuit this week against U.S. pharmacy chain Walgreens and the Illinois hospital, Trinity Medical Center, where the singer was treated before his death.
Legal documents filed in Illinois allege that “a doctor and pharmacist at Trinity Medical Center in Moline, Illinois, failed to appropriately treat and investigate Prince's April 15, 2016, overdose, and that he died 'as a direct and proximate cause of one or more ... deviations from the standards of care,'" USA Today reports.
The documents also claim that two Walgreens pharmacists were "dispensing prescription medications not valid for a legitimate medical purpose."
Neither Walgreens nor Trinity Medical Center have responded to the lawsuit, which has not been proven in court.
Last month, a detailed toxicology report emerged and it said that Prince's fentanyl levels were "exceedingly high."

Authorities last week added that Prince might not have actually known that he was taking fentanyl. After the court hearing, it was announced that Prince’s overdose was accidental, caused by taking counterfeit pills.
