Washington, June 27: Michael Jackson’s body that had been kept in its own crypt at a Los Angeles morgue under lock, has been released to his family after postmortem. The pop icon’s body was released at 2115 hrs (GMT) and the new location is being kept a closely guarded secret. Los Angeles County coroner’s office has confirmed the news stating that the toxicology report and other reports are still awaited.

According to the latest news on Michael Jackson, the family is deciding on funeral arrangements.

Authorities are making sure that no pictures of the body are leaked. According to insiders, the investigators, who conducted the autopsy, were surprised at how healthy Jackson was – as he appeared to be stronger than they expected. They believed some sort of drug or drug combination caused either the heart to stop beating or the lungs to stop breathing.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said a final cause of death on Jackson would be deferred until the results of toxicology tests, due to be completed in "four to six weeks," were known.

But Harvey said that examiners had found "no evidence of trauma" to Jackson's body and no indication of foul play.

Jackson's autopsy took place on Friday amid heartfelt tributes to the singer, and as speculation mounted about the cause of death for the 50-year-old who sold more than 750 million records and whose music defined the 1980s.

Jackson lawyer Brian Oxman said he and family members voiced concerns over the star's use of drugs as he prepared for a gruelling series of comeback concerts in London designed to relaunch his career.
