Jackson family may seek own autopsy

LOS ANGELES, June 27 (UPI) -- Los Angeles detectives have interviewed the doctor who was with Michael Jackson when he collapsed, Dr. Conrad Murray's lawyer said Saturday.

The lawyer released a statement saying Murray is not a criminal suspect and would cooperate with investigators, The New York Times reported. Murray, a cardiologist, accompanied Jackson to the hospital where he was pronounced dead Thursday.

Police have said Jackson's death is being investigated by homicide detectives because of his high profile and not because of suspicions of foul play.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson told ABC's "Good Morning America" the pop icon's family would like a second autopsy. The civil rights leader, no relation to the singer, said Saturday he met with the Jackson family Friday and heard concerns about the medications the physician reportedly prescribed him.

Media reports that Jackson, 50, went into cardiac arrest shortly after being given a shot of the narcotic Demerol began circulating shortly after he died.

The body was released by the Los Angeles County coroner Friday night. Toxicology tests will take a few more weeks to complete.

Moving vans were outside the house Jackson had been renting in Holmby Hills. Observers said they saw Janet Jackson, Michael Jackson's his sister, arrive at the house Saturday.
