The family of Michael Jackson is understood to have requested an independent autopsy in an attempt to answer many of the questions surrounding his death, it emerged tonight.

The Rev Jesse Jackson, a close friend of the family, said the Jackson clan had several concerns, especially allegations linked to his reported prescription drug use and to the role of his personal cardiologist, Dr Conrad Murray, in the last hours of Jackson's life. Murray appears to have been present when Jackson, 50, collapsed, but did not sign the death certificate, as is standard practice.
