Th OP had a thread in which he kept a running tab on the number of people he thought had gone to hell. I think this is more about an obsession with hell, which many extremists have, then Prince's religion.
They don't want hell to be a false teaching. Hell only works if you can convince others that people actually go there.
Prince is not in hell. He's dead. He will live again. “there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Ac 24:15.
Only a poisoned heart is denied life. I am not convinced that Prince's heart was wicked. I'm not judge of such things, but if Prince is counted as a wicked person....I think mankind as a whole is a goner. I'm happy that God doesn't rely on the judgements of men.

He enjoyed life too much. If that weren't enough, he brought too much joy to other people's lives.
I must really have been out of the loop for the past 20-some years based on the posts I'm reading here. No offense to Prince at all but I'd barely heard anything of him since around 2002. I had no idea that he was still around until I heard about his death on TV. Still, it's always somewhat a tragedy when someone dies in an untimely manner. So, out of respect I will add my RIP to Prince.
Incidentally, as per the OP and according to Seventh-day Adventist doctrine (which they DO get from the Bible), Prince is presently 'sleeping' until Resurrection Day.

What the heck is your beef with the artist formerly known as Prince? The man is dead. I live in the Twin Cities and it has been the only thing on the news and radio since it happened. Not once has someone thought to define him as a Jehovah's Witness. The guy was raised an Adventist so the JW thing is a lateral move. He probably had no idea he was raised in a cult so when the next one came at him he was easy pickings. How is what you are doing judging him to try and figure out where God sent him any different from the JW religion you claim as false? How is it any of your business? Are you an Adventist or something so you think he is an apostate? What is your claim to this situation?
So what? You will be with your cronies talking about how he died unsaved and in a Kingdom Hall another group of people will be talking about how he died faithful. Your all a bunch of aholes so what's the difference?
In other words: the Society maintains that Jesus' crucified body has to stay dead so Michael can be an angel again. But that's not the only reason the Society gives for keeping Jesus' crucified body perpetually deceased.
Another explanation is given on page 237 of the April 15, 1963 issue of the Watchtower magazine; where it's stated:
"If Jesus were to take his body of flesh, blood, and bones to heaven and enjoy them there, what would this mean? It would mean that there would be no resurrection of the dead for anybody. Why not? Because Jesus would be taking his sacrifice off God's altar."
But the Bible says that were Jesus' crucified body still dead, then God would have no basis upon which to justify letting people off.
†. Rom 4:25 . . He was delivered up for the sake of our trespasses and was raised up for the sake of declaring us righteous.
†. 1Cor 15:17 . .Further, if Christ has not been raised up, your faith is useless; you are yet in your sins.
If perchance Prince went out believing Christ's crucified body is still dead; and its remains squirreled away somewhere on earth in a condition and a location known only to God; then he went out an unforgiven man. I don't think I have to tell you what that means.
