Mystery Surrounds Final Resting Place Of The King Of Pop

In spite of yesterday’s lavish public memorials for Michael Jackson at the elite Forest Lawn cemetery and later at the Staples Centre, mystery surrounds where his body will actually is to be laid to rest.

His brain has been removed from his body by the LA coroner who will carry out the autopsy, but no indication has been given by his family or his lawyers as to where his remains will finally be interred.

It had been thought that he might be buried at his former home, “Neverland” in Santa Barbara, but this is no longer in his possession, having been seized to pay his debts.

Last night, fans gathered outside the ranch to pay their tribute to their famous and beloved neighbour and many said they would love to see him buried locally.

“ It was his home for such a long time,” said Bernice Gold. “He should come home to rest here.”

Although his remains were at Forest Lawn cemetery overnight on Monday and where a private family memorial took place yesterday morning, a spokesman for the cemetery said that no request had been received to bury the singer there.

According to Jackson’s death certificate, Forest Lawn was only to be used for the private family memorial and no other arrangements had been entered into between it and the Jackson family.

There were various rumours circulating yesterday that Jackson might be buried secretly in an unknown location or publicly in a famous cemetery like Hollywood Forever, but encased in concrete. But so far, it remains a mystery where the King of Pop will eventually rest in peace
