Michael Jackson's Family 'Seeking Second Autopsy'

Michael Jackson’s family are seeking a second and independent autopsy on the singer’s body, according to US media reports.

The family are believed to have a series of questions about Jackson’s death, which remained unanswered by the initial autopsy on Friday.

The Rev Jesse Jackson, a close friend of the family, told Good Morning America Jackson’s relatives “ought” to press for the autopsy.

He said: "When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did he inject him? If so, with what? Was he on the scene twice? Did he use the Demerol? It's a very powerful drug. Was he injected once? Was he injected twice?"

The Los Angeles Coroner’s Office said yesterday that there was no evidence of foul play or external trauma in Jackson’s death.

But after a three hour examination of the star’s body doctors deferred cause of death while they await the results of further tests.

The toxicology test results could take up to six weeks. Meanwhile, Jackson’s body has been handed over to his family.

Since his death on Thursday, focus has shifted to the star’s alleged dependency on painkilling drugs.

Second Doctor

Police in Los Angeles have spoken to Jackson’s doctor, who was present when the singer suffered a suspected cardiac arrest.

But tonight it has emerged that police are reportedly looking to speak to another of Jackson’s physicians, Dr Tohme Tohme.

Entertainment website TMZ quoted a source as saying police were concerned about an "alleged indirect connection" between painkilling drugs and Jackson’s demise.

An LAPD spokeswoman told Sky News she had no knowledge of the report.

Dr Tohme Tohme has often been regarded as Jackson’s spokesperson over recent years.

Fans around the world are still in shock of the death of the King of Pop, while celebrities and musicians are continuing to pay their respects to the star.
