Jackson’s body stored in Motown boss’ crypt: report

LONDON - Pop legend Michael Jackson has been temporarily laid to rest in a crypt owned by Motown record label founder Berry Gordy until the singer’s family agrees on a final burial place, according to a report.

The King of Pop’s casket has been housed in a top secret location since his memorial in Los Angeles Tuesday, when it was displayed for all to see at the Staples Center, reported IANS-WENN.

His final resting place remains a mystery, with Jackson’s former Santa Barbara County home, Neverland Ranch, the star’s hometown of Gary, Indiana and Forest Lawn Cemetery in the Hollywood Hills among the rumoured burial sites.

Reports also suggest his family is awaiting the return of Jackson’s brain, which was removed for tests during his autopsy, before planning ahead.

Gordy, who discovered the Jackson 5, offered the family use of his own crypt at the Forest Lawn Cemetery until the star’s loved ones sort out what to do with his remains.

Jackson’s body reportedly rests in the crypt marked only with an ornately scripted letter “G” in an otherwise empty mausoleum.
