Jackson Family Requested Second Autopsy

June 27. 2009

The family of recently deceased pop singer, Michael Jackson, requested a second autopsy. The first was inconclusive, requiring toxicology tests in a bid to make a definitive statement regarding cause of death.

However, as I stated from the beginning on the day he died and before the news broke, Jackson was abusing prescription medication and the next day the coroner confirmed prescription meds were found in his system.

Some prescription meds are muscle relaxers. Take too much and they will relax the person...and the heart into a sluggish state, then depress breathing until it stops.

But I have a question. When he collapsed, as was reported, why didn't they call 9/11 right away. Why work on him for 30-45 minutes, giving him CPR, not instructing someone to call 911 simultaneously. What good would that have done with a heart that had stopped beating.

I denounced this method of treatment a few years ago in the Sound Off Column regarding Princess Diana's death. Medical workers should work on emergency patients while rushing them to the hospital, it should not be one proceeded by the other.
