Michael Jackson’s Body Won’t Be At Public Memorial?

I just got a call from an industry friend in L.A. who urged me not to believe the hype. She said Michael Jackson’s body won’t be at Staples Center for the public memorial service as previously reported.

She said Michael’s private memorial was held last night for over 1,000 family and friends and that his body (minus his brain) will be interred in a crypt at Forest Lawn Cemetery this morning.

According to UK’s Daily Mirror, the L.A. coroner’s office is withholding Michael’s brain as evidence in an ongoing potential homicide investigation — although no charges have been brought.

His brain will either be cremated or placed in the crypt at a later date. The family will make that ultimate decision.

TMZ.com has the live feed of the motorcade (sponsored by Rolls Royce and Range Rover) that left the Jackson residence in Encino on its way to Forest Lawn for the funeral — not a memorial.

She said a casket will be onstage at Staples, but the public is being duped into believing his body will be at Staples. I don’t know what to believe. Judging from the pics, it sure looks like a funeral to me.
