LOS ANGELES – Michael Jackson’s father said on Monday it was too soon to set a funeral date for the pop star, saying the family was waiting to hear details of a second, private autopsy on the self-styled King of Pop.

“We don’t have a time frame for that because I want to see how this autopsy is coming out,” Joe Jackson told reporters after a family meeting at the Jackson family’s home in suburban Los Angles.

Standing beside Joe Jackson outside the house — the site of a makeshift memorial of flowers and balloons — civil rights leader Al Sharpton said the family did not want to “rush into” plans to commemorate Jackson’s life and musical legacy.

Sharpton said the family was being “careful and deliberate on how they plan the celebration of his life.”

Two inconclusive autopsies have been carried out on Jackson — one by the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office and one by a private pathologist. Toxicology tests are expected to take several weeks.
