Η Εκκλησία των Μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά ή η αδερφή του η οποία εργαζόταν ως ιερόδουλη θα πάρουν τα χρήματα;
Φεύγοντας από τη ζωή ο Prince άφησε πίσω του ένα τεράστιο κενό, μεγάλη θλίψη αλλά και μια αμύθητη περιουσία και αφού δεν έχει παιδιά ή σύζυγο, σύντομα είναι πιθανό να ξεκινήσει μια μεγάλη μάχη για το ποιος ή ποιοι θα κληρονομήσουν τα εκατομμύριά του.
Η περιουσία του διάσημου τραγουδιστή υπολογίζεται ότι αγγίζει τα 300 εκατομμύρια δολάρια, ωστόσο, πληροφορίες αναφέρουν ότι οι μουσικές του συλλογές και χιλιάδες ακυκλοφόρητα κομμάτια που φέρεται να είχε, θα δώσουν στους ή στον κληρονόμο του άλλα 500 εκατομμύρια, ανεβάζοντας έτσι στα 800 το συνολικό ποσό, σύμφωνα με ρεπορτάζ της βρετανικής εφημερίδας Daily Mail.
Όπως τονίζουν δημοσιεύματα, η περιουσία του μπορεί να μεγαλώσει πολύ χάρη σε μια συμφωνία που είχε κάνει πρόσφατα με την Tidal, την εταιρεία μουσικών υπηρεσιών του διάσημου ράπερ Jay Z, αν και λεπτομέρειες για την συμφωνία δεν είχαν γίνει γνωστές.
Ποιος ή ποιοι, όμως, θα πάρουν τα εκατομμύρια;
Διεθνή ΜΜΕ αναφέρουν ότι είναι πιθανό ο Prince, ο οποίος ήταν μάρτυρας του Ιεχωβά, να έχει αφήσει όλη του την περιουσία στην Εκκλησία των Μαρτύρων του Ιεχωβά καθώς ήταν ιδιαίτερα θρησκευόμενος.
Ωστόσο, υπάρχει πιθανότητα, με βάση της νομοθεσία της Μινεσότα των ΗΠΑ -όπου ο τραγουδιστής πέθανε- να πάρει τα χρήματα η μοναδική αδερφή του, η 55χρονη σήμερα Tyka Nelson, μια πρώην ναρκομανής ιερόδουλη, όπως αναφέρει η Daily Mail.
Η αδερφή του Prince
Τα τελευταία χρόνια της ζωής του ο Prince είχε έρθει πολύ κοντά με την αδερφή του, αν και στο παρελθόν οι σχέσεις τους δεν ήταν καλές καθώς η 55χρονη όχι μόνο ήταν χρήστης ναρκωτικών, αλλά εργαζόταν και ως ιερόδουλη, προκειμένου να μεγαλώσει τους δυο γιους της.
Η νομοθεσία της Μινεσότα προβλέπει ότι αν κάποιο άγαμο άτομο που δεν έχει απογόνους πεθάνει και δεν έχει κάνει διαθήκη, τότε οι παππούδες, οι γονείς και τα αδέρφια του κληρονομούν την περιουσία του. Οι γονείς του Prince είναι νεκροί και έτσι, είναι ανοιχτό το ενδεχόμενο να πάρει η αδερφή του τα χρήματα.
Εκτός από την 55χρονη Tyka, ο Prince έχει τρεις ετεροθαλείς αδερφές και τέσσερα ετεροθαλή αδέρφια, ωστόσο, δύο από αυτά έχουν πεθάνει.
Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι ο Prince είχε παντρευτεί και είχε χωρίσει δυο φορές και είχε αποκτήσει ένα παιδί -έναν γιο- ο οποίος, ωστόσο, πέθανε σε ηλικία μίας μόλις εβδομάδα, καθώς είχε γεννηθεί με μια γενετική διαταραχή.
Αποκλείουν το ενδεχόμενο αυτοκτονίας οι αρχές - Δεν έφερε τραύματα
Όλα αυτά ενώ νέες πληροφορίες αναφορικά με τον θάνατο του διάσημου τραγουδιστή βλέπουν ώρα με την ώρα το «φως» της δημοσιότητας και αποκαλύπτουν άγνωστες πτυχές της ζωής του σταρ της ποπ μουσικής ο οποίος βρέθηκε νεκρός στην έπαυλή του, στη Μινεσότα των Ηνωμένων Πολιτειών.
Σύμφωνα με τα νέα στοιχεία, ο Prince βρέθηκε νεκρός από έναν εργαζόμενος στην έπαυλη, αλλά κανένας δεν τον είχε δει για περισσότερες από 13 ώρες. Ο μουσικός φαίνεται πως ήταν ολομόναχος μέσα στο τεράστιο και επιβλητικό σπίτι του και πέθανε αβοήθητος μέσα στο ασανσέρ. Όμως, παρά τα όσα έχουν γίνει γνωστά, η αλήθεια πως μυστήριο συνεχίζει να καλύπτει τον θάνατο του, όπως ακριβώς συνέβαινε και με τη ζωή του, αφού ο τραγουδιστής προσπαθούσε να κρατά την προσωπική του ζωή μακριά από τα φώτα της δημοσιότητας.
Η νεκροψία στον Prince ολοκληρώθηκε πριν από λίγες ώρες, ωστόσο, όπως μετέδωσαν αμερικανικά ΜΜΕ μπορεί να περάσουν πολλές ημέρες ή και εβδομάδες, μέχρι να βγουν τα τελικά αποτελέσματα. Σύμφωνα, όμως, αμερικανικά ΜΜΕ, δεν υπήρξαν τραύματα στο κορμί του, ενώ σύμφωνα με τις αστυνομικές αρχές, δεν υπάρχει κανένα στοιχεία που να δείχνει πως ο τραγουδιστής αυτοκτόνησε. -

“Who Chose to Serve Jehovah?” Worksheet from JW.ORG. I asked “in what way do you admire Hannah and how do you plan to imitate her?” The response I got made my heart swell. “I admire how Hannah prayed to Jehovah. I want to imitate her by praying sincerely from my heart.” May we all remember, Jehovah lets each person choose whether to serve him or not. Enjoy your Saturday!

Memorial service Saturday in Chanhassen, Minnesota
As we learn of more details we can update this post.

Prince Cremated In Secret: No Extravagant Funeral Service For The Public
Prince cremated in secret – by the time Prince’s body was released after autopsy, a limited number of family and friends, as well as some musicians were present by the time he was cremated. No extravagant funeral service for the public will be made, for this is what Prince wanted in the first place.
Stuff reports that his body was cremated in the presence of his sister Tyka, his nephew and another family member at First Memorial Western Chapel in Minnesota. Tyka is most likely the person to inherit Prince’s $800 million fortune, since no other family member may possibly claim his wealth.
Being a Jehovah’s Witnessmember, Prince already stated before that by any chance he dies, he doesn’t want an extravagant funeral service. A family friend told The Mirror that even before, Prince made it clear that by any chance he dies, he wanted his death not to be held in a large service.
“He wanted it to be kept to the minimum of fuss. Prince was such figure you don’t need a funeral to remember him by. The world has his music instead. He wanted to simply disappear with no fuss, no drama, no fanfare. It was just his style. It could not have been more different to Michael Jackson’s service that was full of Hollywood razzmatazz.”
The legendary Michael Jackson was said to be once a Jehovah’s Witnesses, but was believed to be disfellowshipped from the religion because of conducts that is in contradiction with the Bible.
The organization of Jehovah’s Witnesses already released an official statement about Prince’s death, noting that Prince enjoyed the preaching work they does from house to house while he was still alive.
Despite not having a large funeral service, fans flocked Paisley Park to pay tributes, share stories, and reminisce the life and works of a great music artist.

They say Prince was a 'spiritual man' who very strongly believed in the church's message
However they do not keep his photo inside so as not to glorify an individual
A couple in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, opened their door in 2003 to find Prince standing on their doorstep with a Bible
The 81-year-old said of the deceased singer: ‘Prince was a publisher with good standing here in our congregation. He was active, he shared in the ministry every month.
‘We didn’t see him very often because he was away all the time, but he did attend the memorial of Christ’s death on March 23 here, he brought some of his band members with him.
‘He was a spiritual man from what I know of him and he talked to individuals and he very strongly believed in the message of the bible that Jehovah Witness’s proclaim.
‘He believed that the true God is Jehovah and he knew for example that when we die, we’re dead, we’re sleeping and the hope is the resurrection, that’s why Jesus died.’
Elder Cook said Prince regularly ‘witnessed’ alone in the community, as well as in groups.
And he admitted that people might have been shocked to see the superstar turn up on their doorstep to talk to them and offer a free bible course, but added: ‘We try to downplay the person, it’s all about the message.
‘We try not to eulogize any individual from a personal standpoint, one person is equal in the eyes of God as another person.
‘So our main goal is to proclaim the message of God’s kingdom as equals and Prince did what he could from what I understand.
‘He did what he could to help people to get into the Bible and appreciate the benefits of family life and the hope of God’s kingdom.’
He added: ‘Credibility and honesty in conveying the message is vital.’
Elder Cook described Prince as ‘modest’ and ‘very, very humble’ when he came to the church.
‘Obviously he was able to witness when he was on his travels as well, he was devoted to it like we all are,’ he said.
‘He found fulfillment as a Witness and in sharing his faith with others.’
The elder says he last saw Prince when the star attended a 50-minute ceremony to commemorate the death of Jesus on March 23 – an event celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses all over the world.
The church has no photos of their most famous ‘publisher’ on the walls as you might expect, because ‘that would be glorifying an individual’.
‘Glory goes to Jehovah God, almighty God and his son Jesus Christ,’ said elder Cook.
Elder Cook also said the church does not have a problem with Prince’s reported addiction to prescription drugs because ‘that’s a personal matter’.
‘We are in to homeopathy and things like that, because nothing is 100 per cent.'

Prince's first wife and the mother of his only child Mayte Garcia will be attending the music icon’s funeral in Minnesota.
Garcia broke down in tears as she was spotted leaving her Los Angeles home on Friday, one day after Prince's tragic death.
The 42-year-old was unable to speak and wiped away tears while stepping into her car with her adopted daughter Gia.
Garcia nodded her head when asked if she plans to return to Minnesota, and again when the photographer asked if she has been trying to keep Prince's memory alive.
'How are you? How is everything? Mayte is everything ok?', the photographer asked, to which Garcia responded by turning away from the camera toward her car.
'We're sending you a lot of love', the photographer said before asking how she's 'holding up'. Garcia responded with a sad shrug.
'I'm trying to honor him,' she responded, holding back tears, as she put her daughter in the back seat of her car.
'Is everything OK with the family at this point?' the photographer asked, to which Garcia responds with another shrug.

Witnesses Reported Prince Looking Pale At Jehovah’s Witnesses Meeting
The famous pop star, Prince, passed away this Thursday at fifty-seven years old. He was found in his music studio, Paisley Park studios, in Minnesota. According to E! News he “didn’t have his regular color” and appeared ill at the last Jehovah’s Witness Congregation he could attend last month. The cause of his death has not been released, but there is speculation that he was ill. Prince had to cancel his last two concerts, and even had to have his personal plane emergency land at a hospital after he fell ill. -
