Michael Jackson's family want 2nd autopsy



Michael Jackson's family wants the second autopsy on the singer to determine the cause of his death after the first autopsy revealed no official cause of death.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office performed an autopsy on Jackson on Friday, but failed to determine what killed him.

Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, has died at the age of 50 after an apparent cardiac arrest. An autopsy was performed on the singer's body on Friday, but failed to determine the cause of death.


However, the three-hour autopsy revealed traces of the powerful painkillers OxyContin and Demerol.

Rumors and accusations have surfaced concerning Jackson's use of prescription drugs. Pending toxicology reports are expected to take four to six weeks.

Reverend Jesse Jackson, who met with the Jackson family yesterday, said the family wanted answers to questions surrounding the singer's death, including the role of the personal cardiologist, Dr Conrad Robert Murray, who was with him when he died.
