We wanna get those new developments this morning in the death of pop super star Michael Jackson. Here is what we know. A Los Angeles coroner says Jackson's remains were removed from the coroner's office early this morning, eastern time and taken to a mortuary. Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter says the Jackson's family asked that the location not be made public. Now, in an initial autopsy report, the coroner's office says there are no indications of foul play in Jackson's death and no indications of trauma. And the complete report won't be available for weeks though, but Michael Jackson did go into cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles on Thursday as you recall, and then was later pronounced dead at the hospital. "The cause of death has been deferred, which means that the medical examiner has ordered additional testing, such as toxicology and other studies. There was no indication of any external trauma or any indication of foul play on the body of Mr. Jackson".

 

A dramatic 911 tape yesterday, uh, rather on Thursday, you hear somebody, you don't know who it is in the rented mansion where Michael Jackson was staying on the 911 call and he is so frantic to get somebody there as you would be of course and he never says it's Michael Jackson get over here. Here you can listen the part of this really dramatic 911 tape.

South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford has apologized to his cabinet for the fury created by his marital infidelity.

 

I want generally to apologize to everyone of you all for letting you down. I have been making legislative calls throughout the morning and yesterday afternoon on my way back up from Sullivan's, I apologized to them, to say I am sorry. But I owe that to you all.

 

Oh, Sanford and his wife separated about 2 weeks ago, and Jenny Sanford told the Associated Press that she learned about her husband's affair with the woman from Argentina earlier this year. Sanford has agreed to reimburse the state for part of the trip to Argentina in which he saw his mistress.
