Jackson's dad calls for medical records

Malaysia Sun (IANS) Saturday 30th January, 2010

Michael Jackson's father wants to investigate the death of his son and has filed papers in Los Angeles, demanding release of medical records.

Joe Jackson is convinced the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Centre documents will help him determine if anyone was to blame for the King of Pop's death and how much he should sue them for.

Family members, including Joe, have accused the singer's personal physician Conrad Murray of wrongful death of the star, but police have yet to charge the medic with any wrongdoing and he has maintained he's innocent.

Joe Jackson's lawyer filed papers in Los Angeles County Superior Court Friday in which he claimed: 'The UCLA records will permit Joe to determine with medical experts and then present to this court, how much support he needs to pay for the prosecution of his wrongful death action against those responsible for his son's death.'

Michael was pronounced dead on arrival at the medical centre.
