Michael Jackson's father, Joe, said he "had concerns" about the circumstances surrounding the King of Pop's death.

Joe Jackson made his statement Sunday at the annual Black Entertainment Television (BET) Awards show in Los Angeles, CNN reported.

The BET Awards show was turned into a tribute to Jackson, with major stars re-working their performances in honor of the singer.

"I have a lot of concerns but I can't get into that... I don't like what happened. I wish the world had recognized him when he was living... Right now he's bigger than ever. But I wish he was here to see all this, to hear all this", Joe Jackson said prior to the ceremony.

Michael Jackson's family insisted a second autopsy be carried out on his body because of what they said were "unanswered questions" over how he died.

The Los Angeles County Coroner's office has ruled out foul play but deferred giving a cause of death until the results of toxicology tests come back.

Unconfirmed reports suggest the singer had been taking a daily dose of Demerol, a painkiller also widely known as pethidine.

On Saturday police carried out what they said was an extensive interview with Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, who was with the singer when he died.

A spokeswoman for Dr Murray said he was not a suspect in the case. He had "helped identify the circumstances around the death of the pop icon and clarified some inconsistencies", she said.
