Michael Jackson’s family say they have not yet decided on funeral arrangements for the singer.
Speaking to reporters the King of Pop’s father Joe Jackson said: “We don't have the time frame yet because we want to see how ... the second autopsy turns out.”
Asked when he was expecting the results of the second post mortem Joe replied ‘soon.’ The patriarch also took the opportunity to plug a new record label he has founded.
Jackson family friend Reverend Al Sharpton said Michael’s funeral would be carefully planned.
He explained: “It is a determination of the family to be careful and deliberate on how they plan this celebration of life... This is not something you do carelessly and spontaneously. We must also remember that they are still grieving.”
Speculation is also mounting about the star’s estate and assets. TMZ reports that MJ’s long time lawyer John Branca will file a will for the star in the next 30 days.
