Jackson family anger mounts

The family of Michael Jackson may seek an independent autopsy amid mounting anger and frustration over the final hours of the tragic pop icon’s life.

Jackson’s family members were today huddled at their family compound in the northern Los Angeles suburb of Encino, where they have been based since the most famous member of their clan died suddenly on Thursday aged 50.

The Los Angeles Coroner’s office said on Friday a preliminary autopsy on Jacksonwas inconclusive and a final cause of death will not be known until exhaustive toxicology tests are completed in “six to eight weeks”.

Jackson’s body was released to his family under cover of darkness late on Friday, and is being kept at an undisclosed location, officials said.
