Jackson's autopsy results sealed


Post-mortem tests on Michael Jackson are complete but the results are being kept under wraps until a police probe into his death is finished.

Toxicology tests have now been concluded but Los Angeles coroner Ed Winter has declined to say when they will be announced.

They are expected to show that Jackson was on heavy medication when he died.

The police investigation so far has let to raids on the premises of the star's doctor, Conrad Murray.

Dr Murray assisted officers in the searches last month, which resulted in the seizure of items including various medications and computer hard drives.

Film deal

He has not been named as a suspect, but court records have confirmed him as a subject in the manslaughter investigation of Jackson, who died suddenly on 25 June.

Meanwhile, a plan to release a film based on the singer's last rehearsals in Los Angeles for his series of concerts at the O2 arena in London has been approved by a Los Angeles judge.

The proposal had been the subject of numerous objections by Jackson's mother Katherine, including concerns that his three children would appear in the movie.

But AEG Live have said they are not included in the footage.

The film is due to be released in October, with the singer's estate expected to receive abount 90% of the proceeds.

The release is expected to be shown in 3D and will also include interviews with Jackson's friends and collaborators.

Michael Lynton, head of Sony Pictures Entertainment, said: "This historic recording of the last time he sang and danced on stage shows the legendary artist in an incredibly powerful way, with crystal clear images and sound."
