michael jackson's burial still a mystery
Washington (ANI): While michael jackson"s memorial service was a star-studded public event, it is still not clear where his body was taken for burial after it left the Staples Center in Los Angeles. According to police in Los Angeles, the hearse carrying Jackson's golden casket would be taken to a cemetery.
However,
it
could
not
be
found
if
the
cemetery
would
be
Forest
Lawn
Memorial
Park,
as
was
originally
expected.
A
copy
of
Jackson's
death
certificate,
dated
Tuesday,
has
named
Forest
Lawn
for
temporary
use.
The
Jackson
family
held
a
private
service
at
Forest
Lawn
before
the
casket
was
taken
to
the
Staples
Center,
but
Los
Angeles
Officer
April
Harding
has
revealed
that
the
'Thriller" singer"s
body
will
not
be
returning
there.
In the certificate, 'deferred' has been typed in the space for the 'cause of death', as authorities are still waiting for the results of additional forensic tests before reaching their conclusion. According to Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter, Jackson's brain, or at least a part of it, was still being held by investigators, and would be returned to the family for interment only after neuropathology tests were completed.
"As soon as we are done with the brain, we will return it. There is a whole series of tests that will be done," Fox News quoted Winter as saying. Winter said that families sometimes delay burying a loved one until after the brain has been returned, but the Jackson family has still not disclosed their intentions. "The last I heard, they are not burying the body yet," said Winter.
Meanwhile, cops and coroner's officials continue to probe the cause of Jackson"s death.
