Jackson: Foul play ruled out

28.06.2009

A coroner ruled out foul play in Michael Jackson’s death Saturday, but ordered more tests after his daily drugs habit was revealed. Jacko’s body has been returned to his grieving family following an autopsy last night.

But LA coroner Craig Harvey has said more toxicology tests are needed after it was revealed the singer was hooked on prescription drugs. He said he could not comment on any specific drugs which Jackson may have been prescribed, but added: “We know he was taking some prescription medications.”

He said: “There was no indication of any external trauma or any indication of foul play on the body of Mr Jackson.”

The King of Pop’s body was taken to a mortuary late last night by his family who is yet to confirm plans for the 50-year-old’s funeral.
