![]() A rumoured third autopsy on late singer Michael Jackson will not transpire, it has emerged. The King Of Pop's mother Katherine had previously revealed that she does not believe that her son died of natural causes. This led to speculation that she had asked for another post mortem to be carried out on the 'Thriller' star, while the Jackson family had requested that a second autopsy be completed only three days after his death on June 25. "There is neither a plan nor a need for another autopsy," a source told E!, adding that the samples needed for the procedure - including Michael's brain - have already been removed. Los Angeles deputy medical examiner Dr Paul Gliniecki explained that another autopsy would be futile. However, toxicology tests could reportedly be performed if the family insisted on it, but the results might be "compromised". Gliniecki said: "Especially in a high-profile case like this, [the first autopsy] was probably done very well. We can still run tests, but the toxicology results are compromised because they replace blood with embalming fluids. It changes the chemistry. "During an autopsy, everything is sliced and diced… everything mixes together. Even a second autopsy is compromised." The results of the first autopsy were delayed last week and are expected to be announced by Friday. |
