Los Angeles, June 27: The family of Michael Jackson
may seek a second independent autopsy as they have "questions"
about the cause of the pop star's sudden collapse and death on
Thursday.
Veteran US politician and activist Jesse Jackson, who met
with members of the Jackson family at their Encino compound,
told ABC television's 'Good Morning America' that they were
angry and frustrated by "unanswered questions" surrounding
Jackson's death.
Jesse Jackson, who is not related to the family, said the
relatives also wanted to know the role of the singer's doctor,
Conrad Murray.
"When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did he inject
him? If so, with what? Dis he use the Demerol? It's a very
powerful drug. Was he injected once? Was he injected twice,"
he quoted the family members as asking.
The 50-year-old 'King of Pop' collapsed early Thursday
at his rented Holmby Hills home in Beverly Hills. The pop star
was rushed to the to UCLA Medical Center by paramedics where
he was pronounced dead after attempts to revive him failed.
The Los Angeles Police Department is trying to talk to
Murray, who was with the pop star when he suddenly collapsed.
The Coroner's office, however, ruled out any foul play or
"external trauma" on the body of the pop star after conducting
an autopsy.
