Michael Jackson To Have Private Family Funeral; Public Memorial In L.A.;
Sedative Diprivan Found In His Home

The Telegraph reports that The Jackson family will have a private funeral for Michael prior to a public memorial service:

    A public memorial service for Michael Jackson will be held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday after the Jackson family attends a private funeral with close friends.

    [...]

    Jermaine Jackson said there would be a private ceremony for the singer's family and special guests before the public memorial. He said the family also wants to hold other memorials around the United States.

Jackson's public memorial scheduled for Staples Arena. Reuters:

    Los Angeles city officials are planning a massive security operation for Michael Jackson's public memorial service next week, and on Friday urged fans who do not win a ticket in a random drawing to stay away from the basketball arena where the singer will be memorialized.

    Organizers have set aside a total of 17,500 tickets through an Internet-based lottery for the televised service at the Staples Center, and for a closed-circuit screening at the nearby Nokia Theater.

    Within minutes of the system being announced at a news conference, the computer system crashed. Officials warned additional disruptions were likely as fans from around the world applied for tickets.

    "You might want to consider watching this from the comfort of your own home," said Los Angeles City Councilwoman Jan Perry, who is doubling as the city's acting mayor.

    A wide area around the venues in downtown Los Angeles will be blocked off for the 10 a.m. (1700 GMT).

The drug diprivan was found in his home. AP:

    The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson's home, a law enforcement official said Friday as the city planned for a massive crowd at the singer's memorial service.

    Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it's given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home.

Widespread reports say that Jackson had a lot of trouble sleeping, that he often suffered from insomnia. Anyone suffering from a prolonged lack of sleep is willing to do anything, and I mean anything, to get one good night's rest.
