Death of Prince Alfred Jackson's half-brother – WCCO

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – A half-brother of rock superstar Prince died, leaving five siblings Prince to share the musician's fortune.

An Alfred Jackson lawyer, Asa Weston, said Friday that the 66-year-old man had died Wednesday night or Thursday morning in his home near Kansas City, Missouri. He says that the cause of death is unknown.

Jackson was the son of Prince's mother, Mattie Baker, and Alfred Jackson Sr.

Prince died of an accidental overdose of opioids in 2016 without leaving a will. His property is still tied to legal proceedings in Minnesota.

Jackson told Entertainment Tonight in 2016 that he had not seen or seen Prince for nearly 15 years, although one lawyer later clarified that Jackson had actually had "interviews and sporadic visits "with Prince during those years.
