Michael Jackson's family wants a second, private autopsy, it has been reported today.
The Jackson family is understandably frustrated in their grief, trying to understand, as we all are, what happened to Michael the day he died.
Reports are all over the news that Michael Jackson had been receiving daily injections of a pain killer, and possibly was taking multiple pain killers daily. We have all read and heard about the private doctor living with Jackson the last two weeks of the pop star's life; Jackson's family wants a private autopsy of the pop icon because of unanswered questions about how he died and the doctor who was with him, Rev. Jesse Jackson said Saturday.
Dr. Conrad Murray, the private doctor who left his practice in Las Vegas to move in with Michael, has hired a lawyer, William M. Stradley from a legal firm in Houston. One of the partners was meeting with Los Angeles police on Saturday, according to Stradley, who has also said that Murray accompanied Michael Jackson to the hospital. "He was there from the beginning and he's been cooperating with police from the very beginning," Stradley said. "Dr. Murray has never left L.A. since Mr. Jackson's death, and he remains there."
So sad. There can not be enough answers or explanations to ease the Jackson family's grief. I don't see how. Michael was brilliant in his talent, a one-of-a-kind we may never see the likes of again. But could there be a more hauntingly desolate soul than was Michael?
I worry now for the three beautiful children,Michael Joseph, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine, and Prince "Blanket" Michael II. Missing the Dad I am sure they loved more than anyone else in the world, and soon to be possibly caught up in a custody battle that will not be nice.And what if the three children, who are suffering so much now, must suffer even more by being split up, should the mom of two of them receive custody?
My heart breaks for all of them, but even more so for the youngest, Prince Michael, because that little boy does no have a mother that anyone knows of. What will happen to his world, shattered already, if he should lose his big brother and sister to their mom?
