Theory of “illegal burial” already cooking following singer’s death
Rest in peace, Michael? Not likely. No sooner had the singer’s memorial service ended than speculation ensued about the disposition of his body, which was whisked away from the Staples Center in Los Angeles to no-one-knows-where. The family had been expected to inter Jackson at a cemetery in the Hollywood Hills, but there was no sign of digging there yesterday. Many fans had been pressing for a burial at his Neverland ranch, which would technically be illegal without a special state permit. Meantime, it has emerged that pathologists have hung onto Jackson’s brain for further tests to better pin down the exact cause of death. They have generously offered to return it to his loved ones when they’re done. Ick.
