Joe also told ABC that he would like a role in raising the pop star's children.

Meanwhile, Los Angeles Police Department Chief William Bratton added fuel to the fire as he told CNN: "We are still awaiting corroboration from the coroner's office as to cause of death. That is going to be very dependent on the toxicology reports that are due to come back.

"And based on those, we will have an idea of what it is we are dealing with. Are we dealing with a homicide or are we dealing with accidental overdose?"
