Marie Osmond's son's death case took a new turn when the Los Angeles County coroner's office found the autopsy results for Marie Osmond's son, Michael Blosil to be inconclusive.

To see whether Marie Osmond's son's death had occurred due to his taking drugs or alcohol before taking the decision to commit suicide will require at least six weeks.

Marie Osmond's son, Blosil who was suffering from depression and was spending time in and out of rehab was found dead after he jumped from his eighth floor apartment in Los Angeles last week. He left a note for a female friend whom he found to be the only close one in L.A.

Osmond was found taking solace in her faith and family after his death.  She's dropped her Las Vegas variety show and gone into seclusion.  One of her closes friends affirmed that Osmond's were a very close-knit family and came together as a family and in love at times of crisis. They were looking into Marie Osmond's family photos to reminisce the old days.

Marie Osmond's son's death is surely a testing time for her and her family and we wish her all love during for this phase.

Major Dhya Chand Stadium proves to be lucky for Indians, as India gave one of her finest performance in long time in front of huge crowd and beat Pakistan by 4-1, and wish to do similar with Australia to make their place in Semi finals.

Everything clicked for India against Pakistan that day with the midfield, defense and front spot on as the home crowd pumped the players.

The dangerous strike dou of Rehan Butt and Shakeel Abbasi was checked by the defense of Sandeep Singh, Diwakar Ram and Dhananjay Mahdi, through out the match.

Pbhjot Singh, Shivendra Singh and Rajpal Singh created havoc as they led the upfront with their fast-paced interchanges. The difference created by outstanding Sardar Singh at the midfield.

Whereas, Australia has an altogether different side, as they have one-touched fast-paced hit, and their own run style, India now needs to be more vigilant as
the Kookaburras are  like a wounded tiger after 2-3 loss to England.

Australia boasts a winning percentage of 71% as they have won 51 of their 70 matches. Also they finished runners up in their last two matches.
