AceShowbiz - Michael Jackson's body has just arrived at the L.A. County Coroner's Office for an autopsy. Soon after his death on Thursday, June 25, his body was transported from U.C.L.A. Medical Center to USC Medical Center downtown via helicopter before then being transferred by van to the Coroner's Office, where autopsy is expected to be performed as soon as Friday, June 26.
The autopsy is set to determine the exact cause of the late singer's death amidst mounting talks that he died of cardiac arrest. According to L.A. County Department of Coroner spokesman, Craig Harvey, results of the autopsy won't be available until several weeks, when the results of toxicology tests come back. Craig, furthermore, mentions that since Michael was not "under the care of any U.C.L.A. doctor for a particular condition at the time of his death, the job of signing off on his death certificate goes to the coroner's office."
Earlier Thursday, Michael's brother Jermaine Jackson told reporters that the late singer was believed suffering cardiac arrest, but "the cause of his death is unknown until the results of the autopsy are known." As of press time, there haven't been words from Michael's family regarding plans for funeral service.
