(Newser) – A spokesman for the Los Angeles County coroner said this afternoon there is “no indication of foul play” in the death yesterday of Michael Jackson, the AP reports. The officer acknowledged that the pop star, 50, took a variety of prescription drugs but said it was too soon to know if they were a factor.

Media outlets set up cameras and lights near the entrance to the Los Angeles County Coroners building today where an autopsy is being performed on the body of Michael Jackson.
