Michael Jackson’s father has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the doctor charged with administering him a lethal dose of anaesthetic.
In papers filed at a federal court in Los Angeles, Joseph Jackson accused Dr Conrad Murray of negligence and secrecy.
The lawsuit also claims that clinics the doctor was registered had failed to provide adequete training.
The lawsuit, which is seeking $75,000, was filed exactly one year since Jackson’s death on June 25, 2009.
Dr Murray has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson’s death.
The doctor’s spokesperson told the Press Association defended his client and said they were aware of the wrongful death suit.
Fans around the world remembered Jackson yesterday, including at his final resting place at Forest Lawn cemetery in Los Angeles.
