Michael Jackson autopsy scheduled for today

Filed under: News

The Los Angeles County Coroner will conduct an autopsy on Michael Jackson today. Some results could be revealed today, though most are expected to take longer. Jackson collapsed in his rented Los Angeles mansion yesterday, suffering an apparent cardiac arrest. His heart and breathing had stopped and his personal physician, who was with him in his home, was unable to resuscitate him. Paramedics transferred the singer to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center at 1:14 p.m. PST. He was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. PST and was transferred to the Coroner’s office a few hours later.

    “DON’T STOP TILL YOU GET ENOUGH”. In the movie “Almost Famous” about 15 mins in as the kid (hero) goes to interview the rock band, his mum yells out “DON’T TAKE DRUGS”. That scene has taken on a medical meaning in my head supplanting the recreational one and is prompted by events such as MJ’s death. I’ve become a bit of a heath zealot (a health Nazi my brother calls me) but the damage drugs can do distress’s me. We avoid them in my house and use LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy) for our back and neck pain, creaky arthritis joints and sports injuries. It’s is much safer and improves healing (rather than making injuries worse like some pain relieving drugs do). If you don’t know what I’m talking about you can look it up here http://www.thorlaser.com It’s not improved my moon walking but it’s much safer and improves healing rather than making injuries worse like some pain relieving drugs do. Anyways, MJ you ROCKED MY WORLD in this life, no doubt YOU WANNA BE STARTIN’ SOMETHIN’ in the next.
