An autopsy performed on Michael Jackson is now complete and there is no clear signs of foul play. The death of Michael Jackson shocked fans around the globe and it was hoped an autopsy would offer answers; it only roused more questions.
It has been suggested that a demerol injection may have caused the King of Pop's heart to stop, and that he may have been taking too many prescriptions for pain from previous dance injuries. Toxicology tests will have to be run to address these issues. Complete results from Michael Jackson's autopsy could take six to eight weeks to be confirmed, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office.
The body of the King of Pop was flown via helicopter to the Los Angeles Coroner's Office where an autopsy will be performed late June 25, 2009 or early June 26, 2009.
The question on everyone's mind is likely: What killed Michael Jackson? While it was announced that Michael Jackson suffered from a cardiac arrest when he was brought to hospital, it is unclear what may have caused his heart to stop. Cardiac arrest is a total stoppage of the heart, as opposed to a heart attack which is caused by an irregularity.
A spokesman for the L.A. County Coroner's office said Michael Jackson's autopsy would begin this morning and would be conducted by the chief medical examiner and the assistant chief pathologist.
Jackson family friend Brian Oxman alluded to something untoward in the death of Michael Jackson when he spoke with CNN shortly before the death of the King of Pop was confirmed. The autopsy will clear up any questions about outside factors causing Jackson's death.
It is not uncommon for men in their late 40's and early 50's to succumb to cardiac arrest, Michael Jackson could have died of natural causes. But comments made by Brian Oxman compared Michael Jackson to Anna-Nicole Smith leaving the door open for questions about some level of foul play. Police are conducting a routine investigation at Michael Jackson's home.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson's doctor's car has been towed in for investigation, in case any pharmaceuticals found in it can shed some light on the investigation: the doctor himself, who was living with Jackson at the time of his death, has been missing.
The car may contain "medications pertinent to the investigation" into Jackson's death, said detective Agustin Villanueva of Los Angeles Police Department.
No word on when, or if, the details of Michael Jackson's autopsy report will be made public.
The 'Thriller' star was pronounced dead at 2.26pm (9.26pm GMT) today after being given CPR. Paramedics arrived at his California home following a 911 call.
"All we know is he was transported by paramedics in an ambulance in cardiac arrest with CPR in progress," a spokesperson for the coroner's office told The Times.
"We have no confirmation of anything beyond that he was taken from a residence in cardiac arrest. Nothing has been notified beyond that to the coroner."
It is being reported that an autopsy will be completed on Jackson later today.

I never liked him or his music and can't understand why some people are so interested in him. The music really was very average disposable pop and he seemed to me to be a deeply unpleasant man - especially in his attitudes and behaviour towards vulnerable children. It's really tedious hearing all the exagerrated praise today which he truly doesn't deserve. A sad end to an unhappy life.

Paula, you're a pathetic petty soul... I feel sorry for you.
at 05:53 on June 26th, 2009
Just a lot of sissy being said by hypocrites. I never like this guy's song & his divine extravaganza either.
at 09:55 on June 26th, 2009
I hope people feel the same way about you when your sad souless body leaves this earth, and maybe we'll get to dance on your grave...i too feel so sorry for you!

There were reports some time back that he was seriously ill, but the same were refuted. Looks like there could be some truth to it afterall.

Could Jacko Be a Victim of a High-Tech Perfect Crime?
Is anyone asking the question: What forces in society might want to engineer Michael Jackson's early demise?
He was reviled by some as an alleged pedophile. Are today's crop of "info-tainment" journalists so naive as to believe that some entity might not want to send society a "message" here?
Or is it that such things could never happen in America? Never, ever. Like the Tuskegee Experiments, Or the lynchings. Or McCarthyism. Or the extrajudicial targeting and punishment network allegedly enabled by units of government on various levels...
A thesis to consider:
WAS MICHAEL JACKSON, REVILED BY SOME AS A SUSPECTED PEDOPHILE, ASSASSINATED BY A SILENT BLAST FROM A MICROWAVE RADIATION 'DIRECTED ENERGY WEAPON' CAPABLE OF INDUCING CARDIAC ARREST?
Whether or not that's just fantasy, the fact is that the technology now exists to commit the "perfect crime."
And mainstream journalism has yet to report extensively on the seismic shift from bullets and shells to silent, mind- and body-degrading, potentially lethal, microwave radiation "directed energy weapons."

Interesting could you please publish the source that Princess Diana was changing her faith to Islam? I thought she was just going to marry a moderate Muslim.
at 22:27 on June 26th, 2009
Knowing the reason behind is a very important, matter of life and death information for this world.
Lol..Some American died, so much hue and cry about that. No wonder this bloody cultur is crumbling now. Good for this world.
at 00:12 on June 26th, 2009
what a tragedy for my number one fan in the music industry is dead.its nothing but those of the reporters whom contributed to is death.......michael as a whole will continue to be the number one and the kind of pop in history no matter whom takes over the next king of pop.......MICHAEL YOU JUST TOO GOOD TO LEAVE NOW........MAY YO REST IN PEACE (RIP).

There was no truth to this "dying" propaganda that was desiminated into the psychy of the sheep. Somebody killed this man. Keep your eyes open for who gets that 50% of SONY/ATV (worth billions)Which Michael Jackson still owned. Who will come foward for the Children, the heirs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aW1T1DZdWrA @ 3:15
Was this why Michael had to go? Was he too successfull?
The media lied about 911, Iraq's WMD, Princess Diana's death, they are lying about this too. Note the real cause of death is not yet known; yet the media has pronounced "Heart Attack" Why?
Think people there was a tremendous effort to stop these concerts. The media with no evidence reported world wide last DEC.22 that Jackson was dying. Since the announcement of the UK tours Jackson passed 2 physicals yet the media has been propagating he was "gravely ill". Look for MJ news(YOUTUBE) footage from the last couple of months you will see him shopping, rehearsals and you will see he was not "sick". This will be another distraction.

Shortly after this he annouced a tour and began working on a possible tour. Yet the media continued with the agenda.
I'm sure te family will get their scripts on what to publically say. Also look at how fast the TV specials and shows were put together to "honor" Jackson; the same man they have smeared and lied about for the past 16 years.

wacko jacko, king of pop never thought you'll be gone too soon, i'll continue to appreciate you and your massive work even in death, may your gentle soul rest in perfect peace. oh! why now?
at 04:28 on June 26th, 2009
The world will never forget him! He assured it himslef by his songs and just the way he was.. unique! Even with all bad times he had thanks to other people around him. When I heared the news from radio this morning I was just speechless - it couldn't happened. However... dead comes unexpected. Rest in peace Michael [*] You did a piece of great job in your life!
at 04:50 on June 26th, 2009
i think that the media killed micheal jackson this is what they wanted and they got all the people who lied that he is a pervot they will be punished god is watching them.
at 08:52 on June 26th, 2009
it's sad to know when he was trying to change his life but God took him away...wonder was he really a Muslim convert?
at 13:29 on June 26th, 2009
Probably he is killed by those who think he could harm their interests by announcing his conversion to Islam in the coming series of concerts in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />UK and world over. It is similar to the death of Lady Diana who was going to become Muslim other of the King of England. Forming openion about a religion by considering doings of its followers is not just. For that, one should do some research work and read the scriptures. May God forgive all his sins and take him to the paradise if he has died on the true religion.

Probably he is killed by those who think he could harm their interests by announcing his conversion to Islam in the coming series of concerts in <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 />UK and world over. It seems similar to the death of Lady Diana who was going to become the Muslim mother of King of England.

i agree...stress will kill you!....stupid reporters!!!!!!!!!!!!
at 20:13 on June 26th, 2009
He just wore himself out and his heart stopped, no conspiracy, just a very overactive lifestyle perhaps if he retired and took up a quieter lifestyle he would of lived to be an old man. Being a Peter Pan of course took its toll. RIP MJ

Perhaps the most caring and humbly spiritual person in the music industry. Never knew he converted to Islam just about 1/2 years ago. Islam is really the most truthful cinderella of monotheism and of all religions as well. The sincere uniqueness and incredibility he had could only be understood and warmly felt by a very few. The music or entertainment industry is mainly represented by the lovers of the (flesh) material world as oppose to spirituality. Micheal Jackson was not only the most unique and most deserving of respect in mainstream music, but just about 2 days ago was also one of the most purely inspiring people on earth.
"They'll kick you and they'll beat you and they'll tell you it's fair."
May G-d forever be pleased with his beautiful and very well-meaning spirit...

You must be insane, Michael Jackson is, was, and will always be one of the most , influential artists of all time. Everyone from The Osmonds, to Justin Timberlake,The backstreet boys, to Usher, & ever Contemporary R&b artist to date, will name Michael as an influence.You can say what ever you want about his personal life, but to call his music average you must be out of your fucking mind. Why dont you go and download OFF THE WALL. That album is a master piece, or download motown 25 on youtube. This man from the time he was a baby was one of the most gifted individuals to walk the earth.
