MJ’s family ‘files burial papers’
August 7th, 2009 - 5:03 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Aug 7 (ANI): Michael Jackson’s family has reportedly filed papers to have the singer buried at a Hollywood cemetery, over six weeks after the star died of a suspected cardiac arrest.
The King of Pop will reportedly be laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Los Angeles and officials are now clear to ‘proceed with burial’, reports Contactmusic.
It is possible that the decision will anger Michael’s brother Jermaine, who wanted his sibling to be interred in the grounds of his former home Neverland, in Santa Barbara, California.
However, Michael’s mum Katherine refsued, insisting her son never wanted to return to the property, which he abandoned after his trial for child molestation in 2005.
The decision to submit burial paperwork comes after Los Angeles Deputy Medical Examiner Dr. Paul Gliniecki said Michael’s body was too “sliced and diced” for a third autopsy to be carried out.
Katherine reportedly ordered further tests because she suspects Michael’s death was caused by foul play.
The coroner has yet to rule on what caused the star’s death. (ANI)
