Fans have gathered outside Michael Jackson's Neverland ranch following reports that the late singer's body will go on public view there.

Various sources claim a public viewing has been scheduled for Friday ahead of a private funeral on Sunday.

Vehicles and workers have been going in and out of the property, located about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Members of Jackson's family have met police and the California Highway Patrol to discuss funeral arrangements.

Unconfirmed reports suggest Jackson's body may be placed in a glass coffin and be transported from Los Angeles to Neverland in a "fairytale carriage".

Jermaine Jackson "would be hurt" if he found out that reports about his brother Michael's drug use were true, he has said in an interview.

Unconfirmed reports following the star's death last week have suggested he was taking the painkiller Demerol and that he abused prescription drugs.
