Michael Jackson's family have demanded a second autopsy on the star because they still have questions about the star's death.
Jackson's relatives are said to want answers from the singer's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who was with him when he died.
Coroners ruled out foul play after an initial autopsy on the 50-year-old, but deferred determining the cause of death until results of toxicology tests.
However, the tests could take six weeks to come back.
Rev Jesse Jackson, who is a family friend, said: "When did the doctor come? What did he do? Did they inject him, if so with what," he said.
"He owes it to the family and to the public to say: 'These were the last hours of Michael's life and here's what happened."
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office could not confirm whether a second autopsy would take place, but said they were aware of a request.
Officers spoke to Dr Murray immediately after Jackson's death and now want to carry out another interview with the physician, according to reports.
Some of Jackson's friends and his attorney raised questions about the prescription drugs the star was said to be taking before his death of a suspected heart attack on Thursday.
