Michael Jackson’s death certificate has been released by public health officials on Tuesday.
The cause of death is listed as “deferred.”
Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said Jackson’s brain, or at least part of it, was still being held by investigators.
“As soon as we are done with the brain, we will return it. There is a whole series of tests that will be done.”
It is not uncommon for the coroner to hold on to a brain or samples from it. Winter said families sometimes delay burying a loved one until after the brain has been returned, but he had received no word from the Jackson family about their intentions.
“The last I heard, they are not burying the body yet,” Winter said.
On the certificate, Jackson’s occupation is listed as a musician. He is described as a high school graduate and divorced. The information provided for the document was given by La Toya.
The document doesn’t state where Jackson will be buried.
