As expected, after the initial autopsy report, we know little more about Michael Jackson's cause of death.
During a press conference given by a spokesperson for the L.A. Coroner's office, it was announced "that the coroner has concluded the autopsy for Mr. Michael Jackson, the cause of death has been deferred, which means that the medical examiner has ordered additional testing, such as toxicology and other studies. Those tests, we anticipate, will take 4 to 6 additional weeks to complete."
Once those test have been completed, the coroner's office expects to close the case and issue a final cause of death.
The spokesperson added, "There was no indication of any external trauma or any indication of foul play."
Finally, the L.A. Coroner's office spokesperson told reporters, "We know he was taking some prescription medications," but he wouldn't comment further on that matter.
