As a result of such claims, a Minnesota judge on Friday, May 6, has authorized the use of Prince’s blood for DNA testing to determine “parentage issues.” A vial of the music icon’s blood was extracted by the Midwest Medical Examiner shortly after his death. His remains have since been cremated.

As we previously reported, the legendary musician’s autopsy and toxicology results are still pending, and his cause of death is being investigated by the DEA and U.S. attorney’s office.

Prince left behind no will and no living children. He died at the age of 57.
