Michael Jackson Coroner’s Report

The Michael Jackson Coroner’s Report is expected Friday. The autopsy of Michael Jackson’s death will answer what did Michael Jackson die from, a mystery even to his family Thursday.

While initial reports broke on LALATE from Los Angeles shortly after noon Thursday said Jackson had gone into cardiac arrest, a late afternoon press conference by Jackson’s brother Jermaine said the family has not ruled that cardiac arrest led to Jackson’s death. Jermaine said that UCLA medical doctors after Michael was transported to the Westwood facility took 1 hour and never were able to revive the pop singer.

UPDATE:
The Coroner has just announced the following findings on Michael’s death. Full details were revealed. They amounted to the following:
1. the complete autopsy results will take 4-6 weeks to allow for testing like toxicology.
2. Jackson suffered no trauma, “no… foul play”
3. Jackson had been recently taking “some prescription medications.”

Much of Michael Jackson’s medical history has been guarded, disputed, and never confirmed. Jackson had once said he suffered from the skin disorder vitiligo which affects pigment cells in the skin.

In fall 2008 LALATE reported to you that Ian Halperin claimed Jackson suffered from alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, needed a lung transplant, and intestinal bleeding. Reps for Jackson passed the reports off as utterly false saying Jackson was in perfect health. Recent 2009 reports then claimed Jackson suffered from skin cancer, another report thereafter denied.

Michael Jackson's toxicology and other drug tests will not be completed for weeks, and rumors that a celebrity "rush job" is underway are bunk, says Craig R. Harvey, Chief Coroner Investigator and Chief of Operations at the Los Angeles County Department of Coroner.

"Is this rumor just nonsense? Yes, that would be nonsense. You can't rush science," Harvey emailed to LA Weekly. "Our lab director says you can have it fast, cheap or accurate, but you have to decide which two you want, because the third will not be an option depending on the two you pick."

So Liza Minelli's broadside, that "all hell's going to break loose" when the results come in, is way premature.

Harvey says: "Almost all of the toxicology testing is done in-house. In some cases, testing for certain prescription drugs may have to be sent to an outside lab. ... The testing looks for certain drugs of abuse, and where indicated, will look for specific prescription drugs. The testing is then validated and the results must then be analyzed to determine what they mean in the specific case they are being considered in."

TMZ is reporting that the 911 call referred to the mysterious doctor on the scene at Jackson's death, Dr. Conrad Murray, who abruptly vanished after Jackson's death but has now contacted authorities.
