Jackson Autopsy Inconclusive, More Tests Required

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey says determining the cause of Michael Jackson's death will require further neuropathology and pulmonary tests that will take four to six weeks.

Harvey says there were no signs of foul play or trauma to the body during the three-hour autopsy. He also says Jackson was taking some unspecified prescription medications.

The spokesman says Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter is with Jackson's family.

Harvey says the police department has requested a security hold on the investigation which limits how much the coroner's office can say about the case. He says the death became a coroner's case because there was no doctor to sign the death certificate.

Harvey says the body will be released once the family selects a mortuary.
Jackson was taken to UCLA Medical CenterUCLA Medical Center where paramedica tried for more than an hour to revive him.

The man who produced "Thriller" says he's lost his little brother with the death of Michael Jackson.

Quincy Jones says part of his soul "has gone with him." Jones is one of many celebrities remembering Jackson, who died Thursday in Los Angeles at age 50.

Wyclef Jean calls Jackson his "musical god," while Celine Dion says Jackson was her "idol." Dick Clark knew Jackson from his childhood when he started in
the Jackson 5. Clark says of all the entertainers he's worked with, Jackson was "the most outstanding."

Fans are also taking the death hard. One man says he cried when he heard the news. He says he thought Jackson was "immortal." He says Jackson may have been "a little bit weird," but says "you've got to be weird to be an entertainer."

Fans from Sydney to Rio to Gary, Ind., mourned Jackson, while television channels from Sydney to Tokyo have interrupted their Friday programs to report the news of Michael Jackson's death. Online fan pages dedicated to the King of Pop have become impromptu memorial sites.

In Sydney, where Jackson married second wife Debbie Rowe in 1996, commuters in the business district stopped outside television studios to watch coverage on outdoor monitors. Christos Winter called it "a terrible day for all of us." He had been using his Facebook fan page as a petition to try to get Jackson to add
Australia to his concert tour.

Morning TV shows have devoted full coverage to the Jackson story, alternating live reports from Los Angeles with e-mails from viewers filled with condolences and memories. Hundreds of fans crowded the street outside Michael Jackson's modest childhood home in Gary, Ind. Some fans formed a prayer circle. Others left stuffed animals and notes expressing their condolences. Jackson's last trip to Gary was in June 2003.

Jackson the singer was also Michael Jackson, the billion-dollar business. Yet after selling more than 61 million albums in the U.S. alone and having a decade-long attraction open at Disney theme parks, the "King of Pop" died Thursday at age 50, reportedly awash in about $400 million in debt.

The bombshell hit in 1993 when he was accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy. He settled with the boy's family.

According to Michael Levine, his publicist at the time, "That kind of represents the beginning of the walk down a tragic path, financially, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, legally." As his financial problems continued, Jackson began to borrow large sums of money, according to a 2002 lawsuit by Union Finance &
Investment Corp.

In 2003, Jackson was arrested on charges that he molested another 13-year-old boy. The 2005 trial, which ultimately ended in an acquittal, brought to light more details of Jackson's strained finances.

One forensic accountant testified the singer had an "ongoing cash crisis" and was spending $20 million to $30 million more per year than he earned.

Time and again, however, Jackson found a way to wring cash out of high-value assets, borrowing tens of millions at a time or leaning on wealthy friends for advice, if not for money.
