LOS ANGELES (AP) - A person close to Michael Jackson's family has told The Associated Press the family is angry over being kept out of the loop.

They're upset over a lack of information about those who were around the pop superstar in his final days. That would presumably include Jackson's cardiologist, who has retained a law firm and has talked with police.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson, who's visited family members at the California compound, says their "wound is now being kept open by the mystery and unanswered questions of the cause of death."

Two days after Jackson died at a Los Angeles hospital, his most famous sister, Janet, arrived at the mansion he'd been renting. She drove up in a Bentley and left without speaking to reporters.

Moving vans also showed up at the house, leaving about an hour later. It's not know what they may have taken away.

There's also no word from the Jackson family on funeral plans. The Rev. Al Sharpton says one idea they're considering is a series of simultaneous global celebrations in Jackson's memory.

Los Angeles County medical examiners completed their autopsy Friday and said there's no indication of trauma or foul play in Jackson's death. With additional tests needed, it could take more than a month to know the cause.
