Michael Jackson News
Jesse Jackson: Family wants 2nd autopsy
"It's abnormal," he told The Associated Press from Chicago a day after visiting the Jackson family. "We don't know what happened. Was he injected and with what? All reasonable doubt should be addressed."
People close to Jackson have said since his death that they were concerned about the superstar's use of painkillers. Los Angeles County medical examiners completed an autopsy Friday and said Jackson had taken prescription medication.
Medical officials also said there was no indication of trauma or foul play. An official cause of death could take weeks.
The coroner's office released the body to Jackson's family Friday night. There was no immediate word on whether the second autopsy was being performed right away. Jesse Jackson described the family as grief-stricken.
"They're hurt because they lost a son. But the wound is now being kept open by the mystery and unanswered questions of the cause of death," he said.
Two days after Jackson died at a Los Angeles hospital, sisters Janet and La Toya arrived at the mansion Jackson had been renting. They left without addressing reporters.
Moving vans also showed up at the Jackson home, leaving about an hour later. There was no indication what they might have taken away.
The Jackson family issued a statement Saturday expressing its grief over the death and thanking his supporters.
"In one of the darkest moments of our lives we find it hard to find the words appropriate to this sudden tragedy we all had to encounter," said the statement made through People magazine. "We miss Michael endlessly."
The Jackson family did not respond to a request for comment from the AP.
There was also no word from the family on funeral plans. Many of Jackson's relatives have gathered at the family's Encino compound, caring there for Jackson's three children.
A person close to the family told the AP they feel upset and angry about a lack of information about those who were around the pop superstar in his final days. The person requested anonymity because of the delicate nature of the situation.
Jackson had been rehearsing for 50 London concerts aimed at restoring his crown as the King of Pop. He died Thursday at age 50 after what his family said appeared to be cardiac arrest.
A 911 call from Jackson's rented home reported that his personal doctor was trying to revive him without success. Police have talked to Dr. Conrad Murray and have said they intend to speak with him again but have stressed he is not a criminal suspect.
Murray has yet to speak publicly since Jackson's death. Police towed his car from Jackson's home hours after Jackson died and said later it could contain medication or other evidence. Coroner's officials also said Jackson was taking prescription medication but declined to elaborate.
A lawyer at a Houston firm, William M. Stradley, confirmed Murray had hired his firm and said one of its partners was meeting with Los Angeles police on Saturday. Stradley said 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."
Murray lives in Las Vegas but apparently left his practice and moved in with Jackson about two weeks ago. No one answered the door Saturday at his Las Vegas home, which property records show Murray bought five years ago for $1.1 million.
The promoter of the series of London concerts that Jackson was to begin next month has said Jackson personally insisted Murray be on the payroll.
Also Saturday, spiritual teacher Dr. Deepak Chopra said he had been concerned since 2005 that Jackson was abusing prescription painkillers and most recently spoke to the pop star about suspected drug use six months ago.
Chopra said Jackson, a longtime friend, asked him for painkillers in 2005 when the singer was staying with him following his trial on sex abuse allegations. Chopra said he refused. He also said the nanny of Jackson's children repeatedly contacted him with concerns about Jackson's drug use over the next four years.
He said she told him a number of doctors would visit Jackson's homes in Santa Barbara County, Los Angeles, Miami and New York. Whenever the subject came up, Jackson would avoid his calls, Chopra said.

Swine flu, now in La Salle.
The first case of swine flu in La Salle County has been confirmed.
The La Salle County Health Department received notification from the Illinois Department of Public Health that a 22-year-old La Salle County woman was diagnosed. Her residence and condition were not released due to federal privacy restrictions.
The health department is working closely with IDPH and Centers for Disease Control to monitor and keep residents informed about this outbreak.
To date, there are 1,268 confirmed H1N1 flu cases in Illinois with four deaths; all had underlying medical conditions. Across the country, 17 people have died from this flu and there are 11,054 confirmed or probable cases.
Like seasonal influenza, some people may be at greater risk of serious complications related to novel H1N1 infection and illness. People who are at high risk of serious seasonal flu-related complications include pregnant women, children younger than 5 years old, people with chronic medical conditions and people age 65 and older. Examples of chronic medical conditions include diabetes, asthma, heart disease and lung disease.
H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu, is contagious and is spread from human to human. Spread of the swine flu is thought to be happening the same way seasonal flu is spread — from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza.
People may become infected by touching something with the flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Infected people may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven days after becoming sick, meaning infected people can pass on the flu before they notice symptoms.
H1N1 flu symptoms are similar to seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with H1N1 flu.
Public health officials recommend people who have flu-like symptoms, fever with a cough or sore throat, should stay home for seven days after the onset of illness or at least 24 hours after the symptoms go away, whichever is longer. People with symptoms who wish to seek medical care should contact their health care provider by phone before going to a clinic, physician's office or hospital. If someone is having difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, or are believed to be severely ill, they should seek immediate medical attention.
For up-to-date information on confirmed cases in La Salle County and flu prevention, call Ottawa Regional Hospital's H1N1 flu hotline at 815-431-5721; the Illinois flu hotline at 866-848-2094 for English; and 866-241-2138 for Spanish. The Illinois hotline operates from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

36 quarantined after contact with H1N1.
MANILA, Philippines – Thirty-six people were placed on home quarantine after they had contact with a confirmed Influenza A(H1N1) case, Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said Tuesday.
Of the 36, 29 are from Nueva Ecija province, including five students, who visited the 19-year-old girl from the United States, while she was being treated for A(H1N1) at the hospital, Duque said.
While the 19-year-old has recovered from the disease and was discharged from the hospital, her 36 contacts will remain under quarantine for 10 days, or until June 4, he said.
“If none of the 36 manifest flu-like signs and symptoms until June 4, the tenth day of their quarantine, it means they have not caught the virus and we will declare the case closed,” he said.
Duque said there was no need to suspend classes at the 19-year-old's school in Nueva Ecija since the patient has fully recovered and there were no other confirmed cases among other students of the school.
Aside from the 19-year-old girl, three other A(H1N1) patients who have recovered from the disease were discharged from the hospital, he said.
The number of confirmed A(H1N1) cases stood at 21, he said.
Duque said the five latest patients were “mild” cases and were being treated with the anti-flu drug Tamiflu.
