Bloody Shirt Found Hanging on Michael Jackson's Closet
While the cause of Michael Jackson's death hasn't been known yet, another news related to the mysterious death of the King of Pop has emerged. A blood-stained shirt was found in Michael's house and the picture has just been obtained by The Sun. The picture of the white shirt, which was still hanging on the closet inside the singer's bedroom, reportedly was taken days after he passed away in June 25.

The bloody white shirt still has its price tag on it, suggesting that it was never worn. The British newspaper speculated the shirt might have been used to wipe up blood. The publication also reported the item was not taken by Los Angeles police for their investigation of Michael's death.

Meanwhile, prominent American attorney Craig Silverman argued, "It's pretty extraordinary that a bloody shirt would not be taken as evidence." The attorney, who has no legal role in Michael's case, suggested the clothes might provide a clue in the investigation of the superstar's death.

When asked why such item was not taken by polices, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department just answered, "I don't know why." He refused to explain further and stated, "Our detectives aren't speaking to the media about the investigation so we won't have an answer at the moment. I don't foresee one for some time." The photo of the bloody white shirt can be seen at The Sun.

As for the investigation of Michael Jackson's death, polices have not released the result of his autopsy. Most recently, Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said he could not mention when the cause of the late performer's death would be announced. Previously, the release of Michael's autopsy results has been delayed twice.
