JACKSON’S RECORDS ‘IMPROPERLY’ ACCESSED BY CORONER EMPLOYEES
Employees at the Los Angeles County coroner’s office have been reprimanded after improperly viewing MICHAEL JACKSON’s death certificate.
At least six staff members not involved in investigating Jackson’s death accessed the document before it became a public record, with some even printing copies, according to coroner official Craig Harvey.
The offending employees didn’t break any laws by accessing the computer system but were warned that future violations of internal rules could result in disciplinary action.
Harvey explains, "There’s only one person in the investigation of Mr. Jackson who needed to have a copy of the death certificate, and that was the investigator." Jackson died on 25 June (09) after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The L.A. coroner’s office initially expected the results of the King of Pop’s autopsy would be released last week (ends19Jul09) but officials have confirmed it could take up to two more weeks for the report to be completed.
