Additional testing, including toxicology tests, must be completed in order to determine a cause of death, the rep announced. The tests results will be available in four to six weeks.

A mass of surgery scars was also apparently spotted due to at least 13 cosmetic operations, while investigating the icon’s shock death in Los Angeles on June 25.

A poem written by the “King of Pop” and carved into some sort of tombstone-looking thing will be auctioned off next month along with a slew of other property from Jackson’s Neverland Ranch. The five-day auction, which is expected to bring in more than three million dollars, will also feature the gates to Neverland, some MTV awards, and a pair of jewel-encrusted socks. But I doubt that anything will be as disturbingly symbolic of Jackson’s recent years as the poem.

Leaked autopsy details from the first report suggested that the late King of Pop was a virtual skeleton, barely eating and with only pills in his stomach while his body was riddled with needle wounds and surgery scars at the time of his death.
Jackson’s hips, thighs and shoulders reportedly bore the needle punctures, stemming from alleged injections of narcotic painkillers, given three times a day for years.
