The latest information in the death investigation of Michael Jackson:
The Associated Press has obtained a copy of Michael Jackson's autopsy report. The autopsy which was conducted by the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office found that Jackson was in reasonably good health at the time of his death from "acute Propofol intoxication" at the hands of his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray. The autopsy found that although Jackson had punctures in his arms, scarring on his neck and face, tattooed eyebrows and lips, Jackson was fairly healthy at the time of his death. Jackson's heart and kidneys and other vital organs were found to be in solid condition and good working order. Jackson was not found to be without health problems. He suffered from arthritis in the lower spine and some fingers and had chronically inflamed lungs resulting in reduced capacity that may have left him short of breath. His lung condition did not have a direct result in his death the coroner who conducted the autopsy ruled in the report. Jackson's weight of 136 was in acceptable standards for his age and height of 5'9. The autopsy report ruled out any alcohol or illegal substances found in Jackson's system at the time of his death.
A decision on whether Dr. Conrad Murray will face criminal charges will be decided by the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office.
Meanwhile, The Jackson family has filed a lawsuit against the Heal The World Foundation claiming that the organization is improperly using trademarks and websites to create the impression that they were approved by Jackson prior to his death to solicit donations for the foundation.The suit claims Jackson created a charity based on his hit "Heal the World" in 1992, but it dissolved a decade later. "Defendants' acts of infringement and unfair competition have been committed with the intent to cause confusion, mistake and to deceive," the lawsuit claims. The current Heal the World Foundation was formed in 2008 and trademarked its name. The lawsuit claims the foundation has sought trademarks for terms associated with Jackson, such as "Thriller," ''Neverland" and "King of Pop." Jackson's estate has applied for trademarks of similar terms.
The foundation's Web site includes photos of Jackson and describes itself as a "universal charity organization designed to improve the condition of all mankind." In August, the foundation filed a notice of its intent to use Jackson's name and sell merchandise in the singer's estate case.
Finally, Michael Jackson's musical documentary "This Is It!" named after the tour he was to embark upon in London at the time of his death is scheduled for a nationwide release on October 28th. The documentary compiles hundreds of hours of footage of the concert rehearsals as Jackson prepared to go on tour for the first time in several years. One movie theater has already sold out tickets for a sneek peek of the film one day before its nationwide opening and will show the film on all 14 movie screens on the night of the preview.
