Second autopsy on Jackson performed: Reports

Dissatisfied with the inconclusive result of the first autopsy done on Michael Jackson, the pop star's family got a second independent examination by a private pathologist today.

The independent autopsy came a day after an initial examination by the LA County coroner's office which did not immediately determine a cause of death, the Los Angeles Times reported, quoting sources familiar with the case.

"We don't like what's going on," family patriarch Joe Jackson told People magazine.

The 50-year-old pop star suffered a cardiac arrest on Thursday and the results for his official autopsy could take four to six weeks to be released.

The Jackson's family is reportedly upset with the delay and wanted a second opinion.

Veteran US politician and activist Jesse Jackson, who visited the performer's family on Friday, said that his relatives had a host of questions about the circumstances of Jackson's death.

Jackson's family is concerned with the role of his personal physician, Dr Conrad Murray, who was present with the performer when he breathed his last, the newspaper said, quoting Jackson.

"When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did he inject him? If so, with what?" Jackson told in an interview to ABC television.
