LOS ANGELES, Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Janet Jackson says her brother Michael's personal physician should permanently lose his medical license since the U.S. pop icon died in his care.

The 50-year-old singer's June 25 death was declared a homicide after a lethal level of the anesthesia propofol was found in his system. The circumstances of his death and Dr. Conrad Murray, the physician who allegedly administered the propofol shortly before Jackson died, are still under investigation.

Janet Jackson discussed Murray in an exclusive interview with ABC News set to air Wednesday.

Asked if she thinks Murray should be allowed to continue to practice medicine, Jackson replied, "Not at all."

"So this could happen to someone else? Another family?" she asked, adding she doesn't know if anyone other than Murray was involved in her brother's death.

"If there are, then the truth prevails," she said. "That's the way that I see it."
