The last picture of Michael Jackson alive.
A FINAL verdict on Michael Jackson's autopsy will not be possible until toxicology test results are confirmed, which could take "six to eight weeks", the Los Angles Coroner's office says.
Hear the 911 call from Michael's home.
Assistant chief Ed Winter said on Friday an autopsy will get underway shortly and the examination of Jackson's body will last several weeks.
"We will be performing toxicology tests and an extensive exam and it could take up to six to eight weeks before we will have the final results from the onset, from last night," Winter said.
Winter said a preliminary report on the cause of death will likely be deferred until the test results are known.
"Probably that the case, the cause of death is going to be deferred until we get the results of all the tests," Winter said.
"However, we did want to let people know that the exam is being conducted this morning. We'll probably start in a few minutes."
