Michael Jackson's Body At Coroner's Office

Harvey says there were no signs of foul play or trauma to the body. He also says Jackson was taking some unspecified prescription medications. Ref. USAToday
I was thinking about his three children and who will be responsible of taking care of them. I hope he left a will that can state that, since I do not think they should end up with their biological mother. The woman said they are not her kids (when she was divorcing him) but his kids and that she was not interested at all in getting custody of them. The only thing she was seeking was more money as a settlement.
The media here is going absolutely nuts over this thing. There was live coverage of the helicopter flight from UCLA medical center to the LA County Coroner's office. They filmed his body, in a body bag, being schlepped from the helo to the van... Etc. How completely denigrating to him, and to the Jackson family! Can't they let them have some privacy?!? Yes, I know, he's "superstar" status, but come on, people. We don't need 24-hour coverage of his life, and now his death, for the next 6 months.
I read a report where Michael was literally under 100 pounds. His health definitely has been an issue for some time, and training to perform for his comeback tour was apparently too much.
This event may be bigger even than Elvis. I really feel badly for his family, they were quite a tight-knit group. How awful, on top of losing your brother, son, father, that you now have to witness the world going crazy -- not to mention, I heard the bio mom of the three children might sue for custody. What a nightmare is coming!
According to Jackson's family he was given by his doctor a massive dose of Demerol (pain killer) right before he went into cardiac arrest. His doctor was the only person present at the time of Jackson's death. He did not sign the death certificate even though it is protocol in situations where a person dies in the watch of a physician.

I don't come from the era where he was really popular and from what I do know about him its just weird. Michael Jackson's face just creeps me out seriously. Why did he do that to himself? He used to be a good looking guy and then he went and made himself look like a zombie.
