Autopsy Reveal Postponed Indefinitely
We may never have the official results of Michael Jackson’s autopsy and toxicology reports, media sources learned today.
Fans have been waiting with baited breath for weeks for the cause of death, while the Coroner’s office has continued to push back the deadline. We told you on Wednesday that the announcement had already been pushed back to next week.
Now we learn that the coroners are pushing back the reveal “indefinitely.” That doesn’t sound good. Apparently there are so many pieces to the puzzle- multiple doctors, prescriptions, and aliases- that the office can’t process everything fast enough. E! Online shares the disappointing tidbit:
At this point in time, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office has “no idea” when the final autopsy report is going to be released, according to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter.
The coroner’s office was once aiming for Friday to announce the cause of death. Then the middle of next week was deemed more likely.
But now, following a meeting between officials from the coroner’s office, the L.A. District Attorney’s Office and the L.A. Police Department, no one is making any guesses as to when they’ll announce their findings to the public, as authorities continue trying to connect the dots with regard to the King of Pop’s death.
The multiple law-enforcement agencies on the case are on the same page, a source told the L.A. Times Thursday. Instead, it’s the sheer scope of the investigation—and all the characters involved—that’s holding up the proceedings.
