Michael Jackson’s autopsy

“The coroner makes no conclusions on the death of Michael Jackson. More tests will be ordered and it will take 5 to 6 weeks to get the tests back. There were no signs of foul play. The body will not be released until the family chooses a mortuary. The autopsy took three hours to complete. The coroner is with the family now. We know he was taking some prescription medications. The only problem with the death certificate is there was no doctor willing to sign the death certificate so that’s why the coroner became involved. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room. The body is available to be released now, and can be picked up anytime between 6 PM and Midnight LA time. The autopsy was finished at 1 PM today. No family members were allowed in the autopsy room.”
