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.

    Ironically, Micheal played the scarecrow in the musical “the wiz” and now he’s being buried without a brain according to an article:

    Michael Jackson to be buried without his brain:
    WORLD EXCLUSIVE by David Gardner in Los Angeles
    Michael Jackson will be buried this week– without his brain. As his family tries to finalise details for the King of Pop’s funeral on Tuesday they have been told it will be held back for tests.

    They faced the grim choice of waiting up to three weeks for Jackson’s brain to be returned to them or go ahead and bury him without it – which they have decided to do.

    Oops, Sorry Sandra I didn’t read your entire post to see that you already mention the “no brain”

    Nobody’s trying to dupe anybody. They said that all over the news last night. If I was the family I wouldn’t want the body there either. Thousands of distraut fans who are saying goodbye who knows what might happen

    CNN just said the body will be at the Staples Center..I’m inclined to believe it will be an empty casket..Why would they be at the cemetary with the body..Then take it to the Staples Center..That just doesn’t make sense..

    well, if the casket remains closed then no, he’s not in it. if they open the casket, there you have it. personally, i wouldn’t have his body at the memorial service. lay that man to rest and lets move on as best possible.

    we dont need the body….. omg at ‘no brain’ i would be happy just to pay my respects as a fan…

    Krysi J says:

    Thats understandable…his body shouldn’t be there anyway. thats too much, we know he’s dead. The only people who are entitled to see him in his casket have done so, I have no argument with that.

    shay1 says:

    So if no body is gonna be there – why they talking about flying an empty casket to the Center? Then I just read they are gonna get the FAA involved because so many news ppl flying over the Staples Center and they are worried about their Chopper driver being safe. We will soon find out…..

    i dont think the body should be there anyway, those fans would probably go crazy trying to get down to see him.

    they have the video feed at the cemetery and they are showing them put the casket in the car, now they are headed to the staples center

    KayCeiSoul says:

    Well said Krysi :smile: That’s exactly how I feel about it too. This man lived his life for his audience/fans. We can’t expect to have him like that in death too – his family should rightfully be allowed to obtain closure with this minus the public.

    i hope they will replay it again later, the way they did princes Dianna. I was up watching her funeral 1am NYC time, I was pregnant, misserable and was peeing every minute. The service was beautiful the way they carried her lead casket…priceless.

Let this man rest, no one cared a few weeks ago when he was alive and a child molester. I love me some Michael and I just feel like so many people want to jump on the bandwagon. It took me forever to get to work because people looking and staring.

    You know what else is causing that emptiness. There will NEVER be another MJ. An amazing old soul child singer with a family variety show, CARTOON, etc who not only didn’t get washed up or fail only got bigger and better! He was the first the last the only. There will never ever eva be another entertainer whose star shines so long and so bright.

    Goat you got me thinking the other day bout what we talked bout him saying how is life would end and being right you said it didn’t have to be that way. I am on the fence about that one. Maybe it is sort of a preminition people have about thier life. I had a cousin (first cousin we were very close) He always said he wasn’t going to live to be an old man I used to hush him. He lived hard and actually died at 22. I can’t decide if people put that energy out there and it manifests itself or if they truly know on a gut level how and when they will go.

    You know what else is causing that emptiness. There will NEVER be another MJ. An amazing old soul child singer with a family variety show, CARTOON, etc who not only didn’t get washed up or fail only got bigger and better! He was the first the last the only. There will never ever eva be another entertainer whose star shines so long and so bright.

    Coa is it a good book? If so whats the name? I know I mos def believe in the power of posotive attraction. so why not negative attraction. But something in me just doesn’t want to believe the power of the universe would pull someone early because of a gut feeling they have. Thats what puts me on the fence makes me feel its the Lord giving them a premonition so they live life to the fullest.

    Don’t get me wrong.. but can you guys see the parallels between MJ and Jesus?? (not saying he was Jesus.. but there are similarities)

    The world shunned him and he continued to do good and love people… he was world reknowned and hated at the same time. He was slaughtered in the media.. his character was constantly compromised and he still continued to love… the media and the people around him helped aid in his demise…we ( people in general) drove this man crazy for doing what was in his heart.

    The devil is a liar… and Al sharpton needs to sit down please.
