Michael Jackson’s death certificate issued

LOS ANGELES — Officials have released Michael Jackson’s death certificate, but it doesn’t yet list a cause of death.

Public health officials issued the certificate on Tuesday, the same day public and private memorials were held in Los Angeles.

The cause of death is listed as “deferred.” Police and coroner’s officials continue to probe what killed the 50-year-old singer on June 25.

His occupation is listed as a musician and the information provided for the document was given by Jackson’s sister, La Toya. She was one of several family members who rushed to the hospital where Jackson was pronounced dead.

The document doesn’t state where Jackson will buried.
