Michael Jackson Autopsy Results Heavily Anticipated
Hours after Michael Jackson died, the search to figure out how he died quickly began. Immediately, the top theory became prescription drugs, specifically Demerol. With his various health problems, hectic schedule, and personal pressures, Michael Jackson had a history of prescription drug use that worried his family, according to reports.
The Michael Jackson autopsy results could trigger some new dirt on Jackson's history with Demerol and other prescriptions. Specifically, Jackson attorney Brian Oxman has said that he warned the family for years about Jackson's painkiller use, and about how others were enabling him.
Oxman told the news outlets that after Anna Nicole Smith's death, he feared that the same thing would happen to Jackson. If the autopsy results signal that prescriptions played a part in Jackson's death, Oxman warned that he would not be silent about it.
Additional speculation is that Jackson was under pressure from his planned comeback tour next month, and was turning more heavily to Demerol and other prescriptions as a result.
The Michael Jackson autopsy results may come sooner than the toxicology results, prolonging an official announcement for a cause of death. The toxicology reports alone could take 6-8 weeks to be announced, according to L.A. assistant chief coroner Lt. Ed Winter.
Until then, the wait will be long for Jackson's friends, family and fans. Even Liza Minnelli predicted on the CBS Early Show that "all hell would break loose" when the autopsy results were announced.
This is the second time this month that a celebrity's autopsy results are tinged with controversy. When David Carradine died in Thailand, all kinds of rumors emerged about how he died, while the autopsy results were debated over by his family and authorities. Those reports have still not been made official yet, as an official cause of death for Carradine is still up in the air.
Such a long wait would be torture for the world, but the Michael Jackson autopsy results may have to be delayed that long. Yet once an official cause of death is disclosed, all hell may still indeed break loose over the subsequent debates and stories that would follow.

Post a CommentI loved him and I loved his music,I grew up listening to his music! R.I.P Michael we love you!
I suspect that most of you feel that way about his death because he was black or maybe because of child molestation accusations against him. Sure he was one man. But he was one man who inspired/influenced millions all over the world.
To AR:
If any of your loved ones die, you don't have to worry, because "millions die everyday". What a great way of rationalizing death. I don't know where the heck you're getting your statistics from, but the number isn't even close to a million. If only people were like you, then the world we be a much better place. *end sarcasm*
I agree with the comments below, I mean yah he was a great pop star, but millions die everyday and most of them for things like getting killed for their countries, etc. and this is looked at as the most unjust thing in this world, I mean wtf is America really about. I do however, feel bad for all the hard time the media gave him, they literally took his life.
i will truly miss micheal jackson it just tears my heart up to know that he is gone and we will never be able to see him perform i greww up on the jackson five and had every button and poster mike ever had and i also saw him in concert and he sung just call my name and i'll be there i will truly miss him my deepest sympathy to the jackson family stay strong Mrs. jackson
Since when does the death of a pop star over shadow the death of a soldier. As far as I'm concerned, more should be made of someone dying for their country, not singing and dancing.
I gotta know, was he really white? Seriously though, he was one man- he had a few good tunes-what about the other 25,000 people that died yesterday in the United States?
