The Jackson family had yet to announce funeral arrangements for the 50-year-old King of Pop. But a family friend told Reuters that a service could be held on Thursday and that the family wanted to bury Jackson at his famous Neverland Ranch. The death of one of the most gifted musical performers of his generation prompted tributes and condolences, from US President Barack Obama to legions of fans in Hollywood. Top performers were set to honor Jackson at the BET Awards in Los Angeles on Monday. It was still unclear what, if any, role Jackson’s prescription medicines might have played in his sudden death on Friday.
The family carried out its own autopsy on Sunday after the Los Angeles Coroner said it would need four to six more weeks to determine the exact cause of death. Late on Sunday, police interviewed cardiologist Dr Conrad Murray in a second meeting that lasted three hours. The doctor was hired ahead of Jackson’s comeback concert series in London this month. .
