Jackson family demand second autopsy

In a bizarre end to an even stranger life, Michael Jackson’s family have ordered a second autopsy on his body as it was revealed his family have accused his doctor of a “cover-up”.

The Jackson family hit out at the doctor after he disappeared following the singer’s death on Friday.

It emerged that Jackson had a long history of drug abuse brought to light by the family nanny and other close friends. And many believe it could have been stopped.

On hearing of the star’s death, fans lined his Beverley Hills home to pay their respects to the 50-year-old icon.

Other super fans have been going to considerable lengths to pay homage to Jackson, with some having tattoos of the singer inked onto their bodies. One woman had a zombie from the hit ‘Thriller’ adorned onto her upper leg and one man had ‘J5’ tattooed between his shoulders.

It is likely that there will be a custody battle between his mother Katherine Jackson, Debbie Rowe ,ex-wife and mother his two oldest children and nanny Grace Rwaramba – for his three children, Prince Michael (12) Paris Katherine Michael, (11) and Prince Michael II (7).

Michael Jackson died just weeks before his planned 50 sell out shows at London's o2 Arena in July.
