You'll need to create a complex path from a Live Trace.

Since complex paths cannot contain multiple colors, you'll either need to use the "Black and White" setting with an appropriate threshold, or use the "Greyscale" option with the minimum amount of colors.

In both cases, make sure "Ignore White" is selected.

Expand the traced image using Object > Expand...

This should give you a group containing a single complex path. You can inspect the output further by using the Layers palette.
