Publication of the result of Michael Jackson's post mortem examination is to be delayed until after police have finished their investigation into his death.
The Los Angeles County Coroner's Office said it had now completed its post-mortem examination of Jackson's body and related toxicology tests.
But police have asked the office not to release any findings while their investigation is ongoing. Ed Winter, assistant chief coroner, declined to comment about when that would be.
He said the office would not respond to queries until the police inquiry is finished.
Post-mortem examination results are widely expected to show that Jackson was on heavy medication when he died at his rented Beverly Hills home on June 25.
The police investigation into Jackson's death has increasingly focused on the role the pop star's personal doctor played in the events leading up to his collapse.
Over the last month, a number of Dr Conrad Murray's offices and his home have been raided by federal agents looking for evidence.
