Jackson’s death certificate released

LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson’s death certificate has been released.

According to the certificate, which has been obtained by Access Hollywood, the cause of the “King of Pop’s” death has been “deferred,” as were the results of his official autopsy pending toxicology results.

Jackson is listed as a 50-year-old divorced black man, with the profession of musician — a career he’s listed as having pursued for 45 years.

The certificate also names Forest Lawn Memorial Park, where a private viewing for the star was reportedly held on Monday night, followed by a family service on Tuesday morning before the public memorial later in the day at Staples Center in Los Angeles — as a “temporary” home for Jackson’s remains. His final resting place is not named.

The information on the certificate is listed as having come from Michael’s sister, La Toya Jackson.
