Michael Jackson Autopsy Set to Determine Exact Cause of Death

As you probably know by now, Michael Jackson died just hours ago. Already, the speculation has begun as to the exact cause of his fatal heart attack.

Some are reporting that the King of Pop's death may have been the result of a drug overdose. An anonymous UCLA Medical Center source is claiming that "The sense of a possible drug overdose is lingering."

Even though there is currently no evidence of any foul play whatsoever, the LAPD has initiated a homicide investigation.

Meanwhile, Michael Jackson’s former publicist, Michael Levine, has released a statement saying that he believes the cause of death to be "prolonged stress". According to him, “Michael has been on an impossibly difficult and often self-destructive journey for years. A human simply can not withstand this level of prolonged stress.”

Reporters are currently camped outside of UCLA Medical Center, awaiting a press conference concerning the death.

An autopsy has been scheduled for tomorrow.
