'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 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.

I love mike. His death affected me so badly.i cried when i head the news. I have always loved him from the time i first saw him doing those moves on tv when i was like five old enough for tv.. His music will aways live in me. Mike tried to heal the world through music to make it a batter place not just for you and me but the entire human race. His old music still stands todays sound (thriller, leave me alone, closet for example). All his songs sound like they are new. No matter how modern todays singers sound jackson sounded like that years ago and three times better. This is one of the many reasons why michael legend jackson was and still is a legend. And man has he made history.he was well known 4making internet waves that always ended up crusin the net lol. My his soul rest in total peace. (may god forgive me if this is a sin but how true is the statement that jackson was more famous than jesus) jst text me on +260977836412.

There always has to be at least ONE DOUCHE(Human)!that tries to ruin a moment of sorrow. Fans have come together to mourn the lost of a Legend.You(Human)do not know him personally, so you cant just beleve every article a tabloid puts out. even if you did know him personaally, none of us have the right to judge.. IN MY WORDS- FUCK YOU HUMAN, AND EVERYBODY LIKE YOU.
