Jackson's Body Released to Family

Michael Jackson's Body Released to Family

The body of Michael Jackson has been released to his family for burial, a Los Angeles County coroner's spokesman said on Saturday.

Members of Jackson's family have gathered at his parents home in Encino, Calif. to plan a funeral, but no plans have been disclosed to the public.

Coroner's officials have said that with no outward signs of trauma to Jackson's body or evidence of foul play, they would have to wait for the results of toxicology tests and other studies to establish a cause of death.

"That's what we're trying to find out right now," Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, told People magazine when asked about reports his son's death was tied to prescription drugs. "We're trying to find out that information. When we find it out, we'll know."

The elder Jackson hinted at troubles in the life of his son, who died Thursday at age 50 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Los Angeles home. "There's a lot to be told, though, I'll tell you that right now. The truth!" he says. "The truth is still to be told."

my children grew up with micheal jackson , no one really knows what kind of life he lead or what he really did but him and god, all i know even me as i am 51 will miss his music ,I loved it and his own style of dancing.I cant imagine not having any kind of private life ,to be able to go and do things like ordinary people do.but thats the price of fame !I guess you cant have both . there were others who passed as well like Farrah Fawcett, she faught cancer, most dont remember her but i do , i have a heavy heart for the jacksons and for Farrahs family. just think of a loved one you lost how you felt .then think of how they must feel ..I am the one

Please for the love of Pete stop with the hero worship all day & night. I am so sick to death of yours and other shows making him out to be some kind of a god. He was nothing but a pedophile freak. Give it a rest already.
