Executors of the estate belonging to the late pop king Michael Jackson asked a TV channel to cancel broadcasting his autopsy. The executors requested Discovery Communications citing its bad taste.

They further elaborated the reason by stating that it was a sad decision to broadcast such thing that might hurt Michael’s family. John Branca and John McClain, the co-executors faulted the channel for it’s attempt to use singer’s death to increase their TRP.

The executors made this request to the TV channel on behalf of singer’s family and millions of fans and appealed to them to reconsider their decision. The channel has scheduled its program –“Michael Jackson’s Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson” for January broadcast in Europe.

The program is being advertised right now and an ad in print version shows the singer’s body covered with a thriller trademark, Michael Jackson wore in his life time.
