Michael Jackson’s family and the rest of the world aren’t the only ones waiting for that final coroner’s report on what really killed the King of Pop.
Los Angeles Police Department Chief William Bratton says that, depending on what the toxicology tests turn up, the nature of their investigation into Jackson’s death could change.
“We are still awaiting corroboration form the coroner’s office as to cause of death,” Bratton told CNN.com. “That is going to be very dependent on the toxicology reports that are due to come back. And based on those, we will have an idea of what it is we are dealing with. Are we dealing with a homicide, or are we dealing with accidental overdose?”
For his part, father Joe Jackson thinks his son’s death was no accident.
“I do believe it was foul play,” he told ABC News Thursday night.
The use of those potentially inflammatory words comes as the Los Angeles Times reports that the county coroner’s office has subpoenaed Jackson’s medical records from a number of doctors who treated the Thriller artist over the years, including dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein.
