Prince’s family is grieving the loss of his half-brother, Alfred Jackson. Jackson was discovered unresponsive in his home in Kansas City, Missouri earlier this week. According to reports, he died of natural causes. Police don’t suspect any foul play.

He previously fought in the Vietnam War in the Air Force and lived at the St. Cloud, Minnesota VA Medical Center following his honorable discharge.

Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson confirmed Jackson’s passing on social media.
