also known as diprivan is normally only used in a hospital setting for sedating surgical patients. >> for a patient to be administered diprivan in their home or the outside world to me is outrageous. particularly a patient who may have had as we all believe an opiate addiction. that is out of the question. >> investigators, including agents with the dea served a search warrant at dr. murray's houston clinic last week. the warrant read that investigators were seeking evidence of possible "manslaughter." murray is not a suspected in the case, but legal experts say that may change if propofol is found in jackson's system. >> having propofol in the system or diprivan as it's called in the system, depending on what the levels are is not a positive indicator for any doctor who is affiliated with it. >> reporter: propofol, however is not an illegal drug. >> it's not a controlled substance. the fact that he was giving it

to him might not have been medically indicated, but there's nothing per se wrong with it. >> reporter: murray's lawyer released a statement in response to our report saying in part, everyone needs to take a breath and wait for the long delayed toxicology results. i have no doubt they want to make a case, for goodness sakes, it's michael jackson. >> ted rowlands, los angeles. and new developments off the top. breaking news about the investigation. police have arrived at the las vegas home of michael jackson's personal doctor, conrad murray, that is. police helicopters flying over the gated community at this hour. we will bring you the latest on this story, of course. an usher at the church say he and the victim were talking when scott roeder walked in and pulled the trigger. the 51-year-old is charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault. he may enter a plea at today's preliminary hearing. prosecutors say roeder killed

dr. tiller because he performed abortions. the 57-year-old tiller was one of the few doctors in the country who did that, performed late-term abortions. we take you now to north carolina where a dry wall contractor is accused of providing material support to terrorism. his name is daniel patrick, he's 39 years old, an american. daniel patrick boyd, he was arrested yesterday along with his two sons and four other men, as well. there are their pictures there. federal prosecutors say boyd had trained in terrorists camps and afghanistan and pakistan. one neighbor says he is is stunned. >> well, it's kind of scary to me. that makes me nervous for my children. i spoke with them on several occasions and never was there any idea that he was involved in something like that or could've been involved in something like that. >> now, prosecutors would not say what boyd and others were targeting overseas. an indictment says they provided

money, training, transportation, and men to help the terrorists. the men will be back in court thursday for a detention hearing. a mexican american group issued a statement saying this. now, we condemn in the strongest terms possible what are apparently vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians. we join with all americans in calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators, no cause should be assisted by such immoral acts. defense secretary robert gates is in iraq today, getting a firsthand look at the military mission as forces shift from combat to support roles. gates is meeting with al maliki and odierno. challenges made a surprisingly strong showing in a regional election over the weekend. president barack obama, meanwhile, will answer questions about his push to overhaul the health care system.

during the regular season, vick can do all team activities and possibly start playing in games by week six. so far, no team has shown interest and some teams stated they won't sign him. sports attorney ryan smith says that is a problem for vick. >> that is going to be a real challenge. and i think for at least for now, he's going to have trouble finding a team. a lot of people out there are saying let's give him another chance, but the moment he walks on that field, especially during the pre-season, the attention for the team will be focussed on him rather than the team's development. and then throughout, if you're going to his game, you're going to have to pass by peta protestors and other people trying to tell you what he did. if he goes out and changes the way people view him. if he becomes a spokesman, i think that's important for him, maybe when he gets on that field for the first time it'll be michael vick, convicted dog felon, but look at how he changed his life. >> vick served 18 months for running a dog fighting ring. we want your opinion. we want to hear more of your views on the nfl's decision to

greedy. >> reporter: on the last of those tickets, the magical numbers. >> you hear about people winning these all the time, but you never think it's going to be you winning it. >> twice in one night. >> exactly, especially twice in one night. >> reporter: other customers are itching with envy. >> dude just got lucky, you know what i'm saying? i wish lightning struck him before we got here and then we would've got the tickets. >> wish it happened to me. >> it deflated a bit when he got a flat tire 12 hours later. >> that's usually how my luck is, the flat tire is usually my every day luck. >> reporter: but the self-employed wedding portrait photographer says he'll open a studio thanks to the double dose of good fortune. >> everybody's hurting for a dollar, so $1 million is $1 million. you feel like you're on the top of the world. >> reporter: news center 5. now, this is how lucky this guy is. the massachusetts state lottery says the odds of winning the $1 million ticket alone are 1 in more than 430,000.

out looking for the boy. all right. we want to show you this amazing shot here. heavy rain in toronto caused an enormous sink hole on a busy street. check it out. look at the size of that thing. it is deep enough to swallow a four-story building. the rushing rain water was too much for a leaky storm drain to handle, caused that part of the street to weaken and eventually collapse. look at that massive sink hole. we have new video of a really close call on a racetrack in iowa. check it out. you can see the firefighters racing out after this crash at a knoxville raceway over the weekend. you see them trying to get the guy out. he was trapped inside for 20 seconds as the car burned around him. >> and i ran right up to the cockpit, sprayed my extinguisher and flames were completely engulfed well over the top of the wing. i knelt down to helped him out and the first thing he did was hand me the steering wheel, and he didn't have the belts undone, so i had to undo his belts. >> he is lucky, the driver was

welcome back to hln, 12:30 eastern time, we have some breaking news and we want to get you caught up on a number of new developments on the michael jackson investigation. the focus once again is jackson's personal doctor. we have live pictures for you, police agents, they are raiding his home. and his las vegas office of dr. conrad murray. we have seen a whole lot of activity here in the past hour. authorities going in and out of that huge complex on the left hand side of your screen. that is his office, it has been closed sometime, though. it has not been open, it was not open today. closed for several weeks. on the right hand side of your screen, you see that home in the gated community, they are searching that. murray was with michael jackson when he died last month. he has not been charged, though.

now, all of this comes amid new allegations against dr. murray. a source close to this investigation tells our sister network cnn that murray administered the drug that authorities say may have killed michael jackson. the source says that murray allegedly gave michael jackson the anesthetic propofol, commonly known as diprivan in the 24 hours right before michael jackson's death. well, a former prosecutor spoke about the case. here he is. >> well, he faces potential manslaughter charges. you know, this is an extremely dangerous drug. it's normally administered only in a hospital setting with ventilation equipment available in case something goes wrong with a patient. if he was administering a drug in michael jackson's house to help him sleep, i think it's clearly gross negligence and probably would constitute a crime under california law. >> his attorneys say they're not commenting on quote rumors, innuendo and unnamed sources. they have said the doctor never gave michael jackson anything

that should've killed him. court documents show authorities searched the doctor's office in houston. you remember that, it happened, i believe, on june 22nd. and a storage unit last week. the l. a.c.o.r.a. coroner's offe issued as early as this week. we, of course, are following this breaking news for you. also breaking today, judge sonia sotomayor is closer to becoming the first latina member of the supreme court. at the top of the hour, the senate judiciary committee approved her nomination. sending it to the full senate for a vote next week. brianna keilar with the latest now from capitol hill. and this was almost the party line vote, was it not? >> one vote off being a party line vote. it certainly was, susan, and i want to show you this vote as it happened moments ago. keep an eye out for lindsay graham, the only senator on the judiciary committee who crossed the aisle in his vote. >> the clerk will call the roll of the nomination of sonia

sotomayor to be justice of the u.s. supreme court. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> aye. >> mr. franken? >> no. >> no. >> mr. hatch? >> no. >> no, by proxy. >> no, by proxy. >> the nominee has been approved by the committee, the name will be sent to the full senate for its action. >> democrats and republicans very divided on the senate

judiciary committee even though republicans on the committee admitted when you look at sonia sotomayor's record being on the federal bench that it was well within the mainstream. they said some of the things she said, for instance, that wise latina comment didn't sit well with them and they aren't convinced her belief when she makes decisions on the supreme court. but susan, lindsey graham what he said defending his vote for her, elections have consequences, even though he wouldn't have picked sonia sotomayor, he said president obama won the election, and so he thinks he gets -- lindsey graham thinks he's entitled to his pick. >> he is. was that division expected, brianna? >> reporter: it certainly was and we've seen these supreme court nominations, this process over the last few years become more and more divided. a bit of this was pay back for how divided the senate was when it came to the nomination of

supreme court chief justice john roberts, but especially samuel alito. he really did not get much democratic support. and then susan, the other thing you have to consider, there are a lot of single issue groups out there like the national rifle association, like anti-same sex marriage, pro-family groups, groups that are pro-life. and what they do is they keep score cards on these members of congress and they look at how they vote on things, the nra, for instance, says -- said last week, a vote against or vote for sonia sotomayor is essentially in our consideration a vote against second amendment gun rights and so we are going to score you accordingly. so these republicans who maybe were tempted to vote for sonia sotomayor because they're trying to pull in hispanic voters into the tent, they're squeezed on the other end by the groups they're so much aligned with who are pressuring them to vote no on sonia sotomayor. >> that's very interesting, very interesting point. live in washington. thanks.

we want to update you on this now. a church usher says he and dr. george tiller were talking when scott roeder walked in and pulled the trigger. the 51-year-old is charged with one count of first-degree murder and two counts of aggravated assault. we, of course, will follow that for you. prosecutors say roeder killed the doctor because he performed abortion. the 67-year-old tiller was one of the few doctors in this country who perform late-term abortions. to north carolina now where a dry wall contractor is accused of plotting violent jihad and providing support to terrorism. his name is daniel patrick boyd, 39 years old, and an american, arrested yesterday along with his two sons and four other men. federal prosecutors say boyd had trained in terrorist camps in pakistan and afghanistan, at least one neighbor says he is shocked. >> well, t kind of scary to me to be honest with you. that makes me nervous for my

children. i spoke with them on several occasions and never was there any idea that he was involved in something like that or could've the capacity to be involved in something like that. >> now, prosecutors would not say what boyd and the others were targeting overseas. an indictment said they provided money, training, transportation, and men to help terrorists. the men will be back in court on thursday for a detention hearing. well, a muslim american group issued a statement saying we condemn in the strongest terms possible what are vicious and cowardly acts of terrorism against innocent civilians, we join with all americans for calling for the swift apprehension and punishment of the perpetrators. no cause could ever be assisted by such immoral acts, end quote. we've been talking about this one today, fresh out of prison michael vick is back in the nfl. the commissioner reinstated vick with conditions, though. if he can find a team that will sign him, he can practice and play in the final two pre-season games. during the regular season, vick

can do all team activities and also possibly start playing in games by week six. but so far, no team has shown interest and some teams have even said they don't want him. they won't sign him. sports attorney ryan smith says that's a huge problem for vick. >> that's going to be a real challenge. and i think for at least for now he's going to have trouble finding a team. a lot of people out there are saying give him a chance, the moment he walks out on the field, the attention for the team will be focussed on him rather than on the team's development, and then throughout, if you're going to his game, you're going to have to pass by peta protestors and all kinds of other people trying to tell you what he did. if he goes out and changes the way people view him, if he becomes a spokesman, i think that's important, maybe it'll be michael vick, convicted dog felon, but look at how he's changed his life. >> vick served 18 months for running a dog fighting ring, now he's out of prison. we're not done with this conversation.

we want your view. what do you think about the nfl's decision to reinstate michael vick. let us know. give us a call or you can shoot us an e-mail, cnn.com/hln. you can also text, text your views. do you think the nfl did the right thing in bringing vick back? send your answer to hln tv, text views a for yes, and views b for no. we are following this story for you, teenage best friends suddenly go missing, their parents tell a tale of secret social networking and a possible attempt to meet a man they found online.

video. a judge appointed a lawyer to oversee their estate to make sure they're not exploited by media deals. well, their mom nadya suleman didn't want it saying it's a privacy issue. an ex-mouseketeer fought for this. here's my issue. everyone's favorite mother of octuplets back in the news. inked a reality tv show deal. that show will net each of her kids $250 a day. which will amount to $250,000 over three years, but when you split that 14 ways, that's barely enough to pay for college for a year. with all of the attention, you would think suleman would've gotten a better deal for her little ones. the big question is, how much will octo-mom herself make? if her kids work for peanuts and she pulls in the big bucks, you can bet the judge will tear apart that contract. i hope so. that's my issue.

>> jane is fired up. find out what else she has on her mind. watch "issues with jane velez-mitchell" right here on hln. a pair of 14-year-old girls gave their parents quite a scare this week. the best friends were found safe 38 hours after they disappeared on sunday. their parents discover one of the girls secretly created accounts on social networking sites and she gave up personal information to adult men. >> the longer you wait, the further away it seems possible that they're safe. >> luckily they are safe. it turns out the girls had stolen a relative's car and driven from texas to north carolina. their parents are afraid they were trying to meet with someone who contacted them online. again, they have been found. check this out, a car plunged 20 feet and landed directly on a set of train tracks in suburban new york city. believe it or not, the 72-year-old woman behind the wheel, the driver was not seriously hurt. police say she was hit by

another car, lost control, then crashed through a stone wall above the train station and landed just 10 feet behind an amtrak train that was boarding waiting on the platform. they were shocked, one man described it as surreal. we have video of a really close call on a racetrack in iowa. you can see here, firefighters racing out after the crash in knoxville raceway over the weekend. the driver was trapped inside of that car for 20 seconds as the car burned around him. >> and i ran out to the cockpit, and flames were ungulfed in the cockpit, well over the top of the wing. i knelt down to help him out, he's trying to climb out, and he didn't have his belts undone so i had to reach in and undo his belts. >> pretty brave, and the driver was released yesterday from the hospital, with burns on his face and legs but will be okay. all right. they say hindsight is always

20/20, but were police wrong to taser a man who appeared to refuse to come out of a public restroom? what police know now and they say they didn't know then and does it matter? this is hln.

mentally disabled son was tasered by police because he stayed in a store bathroom too long. it happened at this dollar store in mobile on friday, antonia's mother said police used pepper spray under the door and then forced the door open and tasered him. authorities say they didn't realize that he had a hearing impairment until they found a card in his wallet indicating he was deaf. his family filed a formal complaint. >> and then he saw the red smoke coming through that, and then he threw water and smelling and smelling saying what's that, what's that, then he started throwing water on the floor, the smoke came into his nose and he thought the devil was coming into him. >> he was trying to hold the door for them not to come in. minding you he thought it was the devil because he have a mental problem also. when the police came out, that's what they did, they kicked the door in. and when they did, my son said they tased him in his chest, in his stomach, and on his hand.

>> well, the police department spokesman says the entire incident is now under investigation, including the officer's decision to take love to jail even after they discovered his disability. at the top of the hour, we are expecting to hear from police in boise, idaho, with an update on the case of a missing 8-year-old boy. we told you about this one. his name is robert manwill. his family says he was last seen walking out of his home in boise, idaho, on friday night. his father said the boy wanted to go to a birthday party, but the mother said no, volunteers are searching for him. >> just want him to realize, you know, that just leaving out the door could end up with something like this. and, of course, we'll try to bring you that news conference live when it happens with an update on the search. the 13-year-old minnesota boy who went on the run with his mom in may, remember him, to avoid chemo, he will keep

getting treatment. the judge ordered him to continue his treatments, in addition to that, he will also continue taking supplements and ionized water which are alternative therapies that his parents water, which his parents prefer. again, he will continue those treatments. talk about a lucky guy. a massachusetts won the jackpot twice in a single day. he collected $1,000 from a scratchoff tickt and went back in and bought a $1 million scratchoff tickt and he won that one, too. >> at that point i didn't know what to do. i was just kind of in shock. >> were you shaking? what were you thinking? >> i am still kind of shaking. you hear of people winning these thingalize the time, but you never think it is you winning it. >> especially twice in one night. >> the massachusetts state lottery says the odds of winning the million ticket alone is more than 1430,000.

if you don't win the lottery, investing for retirement may feel like tossing money into a black hole but hln money expert clark howard has an easy solution to figure out if you're saving enough for your nest egg or not. >> the first time i retired i was 31. should i retire today? i don't know. but the thing is, i have set up the finances in my life that i can ask myself that question. most of us can't. what's the key? there are actually two keys. one, through your working lifetime, you have got to live on substantially less than what you make. everybody thinks that the big pay day is going to come from somebody coming and buying out your business or whatever or winning the lottery or somebody dies and you inherit. . most people make it to a comfortable retirement by a simple thing, living life without too much flash, keeping the cash and spending

substantially less than what you make, at least 25% save of every dollar you make.

when the police came, that's what they did, they kicked the door in, and when they did, my son, they tased him in the chest, in the stomach, and on his hand. >> a police department spokesman says the entire incident is now under investigation, including the officer's decision to take love to jail even after they discovered his disability. we have great pictures here of a really close call on a racetrack in iowa. you can see the firefighters running out there after this crash at knoxville raceway over the weekend. the driver, he was trapped inside for about 20 seconds as the car burned around him. >> and i ran right up to the cockpit, sprayed him, and flames were engulfed in the cockpit. he's trying to climb out and he didn't have his belt undone. i had to beech in and undo his belt. >> the driver was released yesterday from the hospital.

not quiet down just yet. it seems as though hulk's ex-wife, linda, would do just about anything or say whatever she could to ruin his character. hulk hogan is to affected by what his wife is doing, he told "rolling stone" he said he totally under stood o.j. she is still apparently dating a teenager. her own daughter basically wants to disown here. a lot of money and property at stake here. the deal, and i'm holding it in my hands, a totally confidential. so i took a look at this. it's a real simple three-page deal. we're obviously not going to know the finer points of who got what, but do we think there will be peace in this once beloved family? i kind of doubt it, though susan, wouldn't that be nice? like an ongoing soap opera. as well as the next story. we're talking about jon gosselin. there's news that he's a bachelor, and he may get his own show? >> he's been schmoozing folks in the hamptons.

we told you how he was hanging out with lindsay lohan's dead. this is the guy who said as he and his wife were fighting all the time, he said he didn't like all this attention that was being thrust on him because of his reality show. now he's going to be doing his own reality show potentially and the spotlight will be squarely placed on him. jon, i got to wonder what you're up to, and if this is really such a good idea. that's among what we'll be asking tonight on "showbiz tonight." plus, we will have the very latest for you on the michael jackson doctor shocker. of course, a lot to talk about in the latest breaking developments in the michael jackson case. his doctor, dr. conrad murray, now being looked at, his home being raided in las vegas, as well as records being seized from his office. was he really providing michael jackson with the dangerous anesthetic diprivan just so he could sleep? all the late-breaking developments tonight for you on

suggested prescriptions including hiking outdoors, gardening, or just heading to the park. some ecotherapists even have their patient sessions outdoors. good idea. do you text while you drive? if you do, listen to this. it can be more danger us a than experts once thought. a stud was doing using video. researchers found truck drivers were 23 times more likely to crash while texting. they say because texting takeses your eyes off the road longer and it's riskier than talking on a cell phone. will space tourism ever been routine? it looks like two airplanes attached at wing tips, but it could be your ticket into space. white knight two was displayed yesterday. and blast into orbit for a short

she was found guilty of far less and banned from skating for life. i just wish the victory dogs who were rescued from him and became service dogs would get half the attention he does. he hope people boycott any team that hires him. >> amy, thank you for your position. we appreciate your passion. rafael is calling from atlanta. you a falcons fan? >> caller: i'm a michael vick fan, a former falcons fan as well. a lot of things people are saying are quite harsh in reference to that michael vick should not be back into the nfl. but let's look at the facts that there are far worse things that other people have done in this world and not excusing what he did. it was wrong. but mike vick is not a monster, he's not a child molester, he's not a convicted felon. he was a convicted felon reference dog fighting, but he is not a murderer, which there

are several nfl players playing in the nfl that are murderers. so, is dog fighting to excuse killing someone over dog fighting? no. but some of the people act like that he has killed someone and he has not. >> let me stop you, rafael. i'm not sure about who's been a murderer in the nfl. are you talking about daunte stallworth and the manslaughter charge? >> daunte stallworth. >> let's just deal with that one. i had to check on that. none of those really come to mind. i do see your point, you're saying you think people have done far worse than this that have got an second chance. >> caller: exactly. let's be more for giving. >> okay. thank you for your phone call. thanks for letting us ask you some questions there as well. 1y6 j.b. is calling from richmond. >> caller: i think the way he

tortured his dogs to me is just unbearable. i can't see that to me, personal i, they should probably maybe keep him out another year and let him have some kind of help or something from doctors to evaluate him. because if somebody can do that to a dog the way he killed them, then he could do it to a human. that's the way i look at it. no, i don't think he should go back to nfl this year. >> thank you, j.b. you can tell people are passionate on the phone. this is on faigs book -- how can anyone or any law forgive someone who tortured an animal? dogs are one of the most loyal pets. never let him play pro sports again. 48% of you agree with the nfl's decision to reinstate vick. 52% of you don't. that's why this debate raging on. you're right down the middle. we still want your comments here

at hln. "prime news" starts at the top of the hour. we have several topics you can be heard on. from las vegas, police and federal drug agents have searched the home and office of michael jackson's personal doctor. conrad murray was with michael jackson when he died last month. ted rowlands joins us on the phone from las vegas. all right, seems like we just did this last week, ted. tell us what's new. location has changed but tell us what you know about this search. >> reporter: we did do this last week. this is an extension of the investigation into jackson's death through conrad murray. what they're doing now is a basic mirror image of what they did in houston at murray's clinic here in las vegas. they're still actually conducting the search at the clinic. the home as well though was hit today by dea agents and la police, along with the las vegas

police helping out. they are finished with that search. they spent three hours inside dr. conrad murray's home. according to neighbors, murray was in the house while the search was going on. we were outside the house. we did not see any sign of conrad murray but we were told as soon as the search was over that we had to leave. it was a gated community. they said that the family wanted privacy. so this neighbor says murray was actually in there during this three-hour search of his home. they didn't take out a lot. in houston you saw a lot of things coming out of the clinic. at murray's home, really nothing came out except for what looked like was a computer hard drive copy. they seem to know exactly what they wanted. they went in there, took them a while to get it and they left. they didn't leave their arms full of stuff, more just a case or two that they brought in they left with as well. it is an extension of the ongoing investigation. murray of course still not considered a suspect in this

case but clearly he is at the center of these searches and this investigation. >> ted, we're just about out of time. quickly, if you can give us a bulletin point. this is after a development that our source gave us yesterday about the possible connection between dr. murray and propofol. >> reporter: yes. he administered diprivan or propofol to michael jackson within 24 hours. search warrants last week, search warrants today, it is safe to say dr. murray is being looked at very, very carefully. linchpin is that coroner's report. we expect that later this week. >> ted, thank you so much for that wrap-up live from las vegas. the space shuttle "endeavour" is parting ways now that the astronauts are preparing to head home.

early this afternoon, the space shuttle "endeavour" undocked from the international space station after an 11-day mission to improve, and also to expand the facility. the "endeavour" crew installed a new porch and fresh batteries on the spout outpost an also brought experiments for a japanese lab. a japanese astronaut who's been aboard the space station since march is hitching a ride back to earth. a nasa astronaut is scheduled to land friday. stocks were down slightly throughout the afternoon as

investors mulled a worse than expected read an consumer confidence. city of, hey. >> a rough day here considering that the last two weeks have seen some solid gains. wall street has been a little bit hesitant this week. yesterday major averages gained marginally. today the dow lost 11 points ending at 9096. nasdaq tacked on seven. the broader s&p 500 gave up 2 1/2 points. a new report on consumer confidence helped put a damper on things as the climbing unemployment rate and prolonged economic downturn have curbed consumers' willingness to spend. we can't expect to see any significant economic recovery if people aren't willing to get out there and spend. we did, however, get good news on the housing front. s&p case schiller showed a rise in home prices for the first time in three years. don't get too excited.

but this is the fourth month in a row the pace of decline has slowed. analysts say that's a sign the housing market is stabilizing. good news coming from the sector that took us down in the first place. maybe we are bottoming out. >> that's what i meant by perspective. you tell us the news, then you tell us the good and bad of it. thank you, stephanie. what a mess in northeast, kansas. trees down everywhere. the storm yesterday left at least 1,600 homes and businesses in the topeka area without power. heavy rain in toronto caused an enormous sinkhole on a business street. it was big enough to swallow a four-story building. the rushing rain water was too much for a leaking storm drain to handle. investigators raid the vegas home and office of the man who

cnn's anderson cooper propofol can be dangerous to a person with a history of drug abuse. >> it requires very careful monitoring. this just isn't a protocol for the treatment of insomnia on this plan that includes propofol, "a." and, "b," when combined with other things it is likely to cause breathing problems an it's even been associated with very severe cardiac rhythm disturbances. we hear stories about michael take other medicines. the combination may have been the thing that really did him in. >> we are hearing from murray's attorneys. they say they're not commenting on "rumors, innuendo or unnamed sources." they have said the doctor never gave jackson anything that should have killed him. court documents show authorities searched the doctor's office in houston and a storage unit last week. we brought you some of that as it was happening. the l.a. coroner's office says the final autopsy could come as early as this week. a church member says not
