Prince suffered from a rare kidney-related disease called focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, caused by either hereditary causes, obesity, drug abuse, or a combination thereof, forcing him to end his career relatively early. Prince received a kidney transplant in 2012; however, it failed two years later, requiring him to undergo dialysis thrice weekly for four hours per session.

After ending his bodybuilding career, Prince, together with his wife, ran a successful property management business.

Prince died of cancer-related complications on February 5, 2022, at the age of 53. [1]
