The Carver County Sheriff's Department has released the transcript from the 911 call reporting Prince's death on Thursday.
An unidentified man called emergency responders asking for an ambulance at Prince's Paisley Park home in Chanhassen, Minnesota, after the singer was discovered unconscious in an elevator this morning.
"The people are just distraught," the man said at one point.
The call was logged at 9:43 a.m. local time, with responders on the scene pronouncing the musician dead at 10:07 a.m. after attempting CPR.
The Midwest Medical Examiner's office confirmed late Thursday that it had received the musician's body and will perform an autopsy on Friday.
