Coroner on MJ: 'No Indication of Foul Play'

Posted Jun 26th 2009 6:27PM by TMZ Staff

The L.A. County Coroner just announced Michael Jackson's autopsy has been completed -- but more testing is needed before the official cause of death can be determined.

The coroner said the cause of death was deferred because additional testing -- including toxicology and other tests -- is needed. It will take 4-6 weeks to complete.

There was no trauma to Michael's body and "no indication of foul play" -- but he said Michael had been taking "some prescription medications."

He said Michael was pronounced dead in the emergency room of UCLA. Jackson's body will be released after 6 PM.

62. I would just like to say that I think the media made Michael a "monster" in the public eye. I think his fame and fortune led greedy people to destroy his image. He was a kid at heart and had so much love and kindness in his soul. I hope in death he can finally be portrayed as the generous man he really was. God bless his family and may God protect his kids.

66. That Dr. is SOO at fault. He was the only witness to Michael dying after he'd administered a Morphine shot. And he's the one who performed CPR on him for over an hour. Uh huh. Okay, yeah no, he's totally legit. There's nothing wrong with this MD at all. He only killed Michael Jackson and panicked over it, but yeah, bring him over. Maybe I'll let him deliver my children!

67. What are you people talking about...find the Doctor??? He is and has been for a few hours now talking with the police. He was not missing they always knew exactly where he was!!! He may well have OD him but he was not hiding!! And no wonder he was so slow and like he was half asleep...I have been given shots of Demoral for severe miagraines and they wont let you leave the clinic without someone looking after you because within an hour you fall fast asleep for hours!!! All makes perfect sense now!!

73. Maybe just MAYBE he just DIED of natural causes, it happens ..... all the time at ANY age. True it could be an accidental overdose, or whatever, but it could be just his time. Superstar or not, people just die. RIP Michael and God Bless your kids and family thru this time.
