Michael Jackson: Cause of death may not be determined for another month, coroner says

Categories: Music, News

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Coroner's office said in a press conference on Friday that the coroner has concluded a three-hour autopsy of Michael Jackson and "the cause of death has been deferred, which means that the medical examiner has ordered additional testing." The tests, including toxicology, are expected to take an additional four to six weeks. Spokesman Craig Harvey told reporters that there was no sign of "external trauma or foul play," but he confirmed that Jackson had been taking prescription medication. Jackson's body will be turned over to his family as early as 6 p.m. Pacific time on Friday.

    British press has confirmed that the combination of Paxil, Zoloft and Demerol (sic) is what killed Michael Jackson. I’m curious to know if the drug companies will try to suppress the American press from releasing this information

    SO SAD that this very private man’s privacy is being invaded in such a terrible way. Give the family the privacy they request, and let them lay him to rest. We don’t need to know the forensic details, for heaven’s sake.

    MJ,
    Thank you for the best teen years from the white glove to thriller. It was a blast!

    So sad. He will always be remembered. But these four weeks of waiting will be brutal, the speculating, and the media. It’s gonna be a rough ride.

    I admit I would laugh or joke about Michael but I will always appreciate his music. I would be in awe watching hime perform. Michael was a true entertainer and that is how I will remember him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. RIP in peace Michael.

    Michael was a legend. I never once believed any of the bad stuff that was written and said about him. He was simply misunderstood. There will never be another performer of his calibur.

  • Diane

    RIP Michael. My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I will only remember the wonderful music you gave me. I’m over 50 years old and am still amazed whenever I see you perform. Talent like yours does not come often!

  • Lisa

    Rest in peace Michael…He was a legend and it was fun to watch MJ perform. He always made his shows electrifying with all those amazing dance moves. He will truly be missed by me and many others.. I love you Michael…I hope u are happy in your new home…entertaining people as he did best
