Results from Michael Jackson's second autopsy are in, and the findings are no different from what the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office found, E! News reports. Both procedures revealed needle marks and traces of a potentially lethal amount of Propofol, an anesthetic administered via IV that leaves people in a largely comatose state, in the King of Pop's system.
The private autopsy was performed June 27, two days after Jackson died and the day following the coroner's examination of the body.
County officials have confirmed that Jackson was taking prescription medications when he died, but due to the ongoing investigation about Jackson's death, officials are not expected to make their full report public for several weeks.
