A second autopsy on the body of singer Michael Jackson has been completed, at the request of the Jackson family, by a private pathologist in Los Angeles, a source close to the case has reported.
The initial examination by the L.A. County coroner’s office did not “immediately determine a cause of death,” and the Jackson family was let unsatisfied by this result, so much so that they went ahead and paid for a second and “private” autopsy. Officials will not release the outcome of the first autopsy until they receive the results of a toxicology screen, something which could take up to eight weeks, the coroner’s office has said.
The Jacksons have spoken out on their anger at the investigation so far, through family friend Rev. Jesse Jackson, who said in a Good Morning America interview earlier today that the family had “a host of questions” surrounding the circumstances of their son’s death. The key cause for concern, the Reverend said, was the King of Pop’s personal medico, Dr. Conrad Murray, who it has been revealed was present when Jackson stopped breathing.
“When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did he inject him? If so, with what?” the Reverend said in the interview. “Was he on the scene twice? Before and then reaction to? Did he use the Demerol? It’s a very powerful drug. Was he injected once? Was he injected twice?”
It is believed that Murray has hired an attorney and was meeting with investigators at an undisclosed location this afternoon to answer questions pertaining to his involvement in Michael Jackson’s death.
At this stage, there has been no announcement made on the results of the second autopsy.
