Michael Jackson’s body has been released to his family, Reuters reports. The family is said to be meeting at Jackson’s parents’ home to discuss funeral arrangements, but no plans have been released to the public. The body was taken to a mortuary from the morgue after an autopsy failed to provide an immediate cause of death. Coroner's officials will now await the results of toxicology tests as rumors swirl about Jackson's heavy use of prescription drugs. (More Michael Jackson stories.)
