MJ’s body stored in LA crypt until family decides on remains

If reports are to be believed, late King of Pop Michael Jackson`s kin have stored his body in Motown maestro Berry Gordy`s crypt in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, until they sort out what to do with the superstar`s remains.

New York, July 10: If reports are to be believed, late King of Pop Michael Jackson`s kin have stored his body in Motown maestro Berry Gordy`s crypt in the Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, until they sort out what to do with the superstar`s remains. Sources have revealed that Jackson`s brother Jermaine and father Joseph are insistent the Gloved One be buried at Neverland Ranch so that the family can profit from a proposed Graceland-style museum there, a process that may take years.
"Jermaine is the one that wants him at Neverland -- he and Joseph -- because of the whole Elvis thing and the money potential. They are seeing dollar signs," the New York Post quoted a family source as saying. On the other hand, adds the source, Jackson`s mother Katherine and most of his siblings want that his body be laid to rest elsewhere out of respect for his wish, following his acquittal on child-molestation charges, to never return to Neverland. The source says that her son`s physical purgatory has left Katherine shaken. "She is still upset that Michael isn`t buried and he is at Gordy`s spot in Forest Lawn. This fighting has to stop. We can never unite, and that`s an injustice," the source said. The newspaper report suggests that the fight between the clan has become so contentious that Jermaine rode in a separate Rolls-Royce limousine to Jacko`s public memorial at Los Angeles` Staples Center, even though his mother had wanted all the brothers to ride together. Meanwhile, most of the kids and Katherine are said to be onboard with a proposed documentary about the family, which can earn them 20 million dollars. "They`re doing this documentary because with the kids, they will get 20 million dollars," the source said, adding that Katherine was pushing all her children to be a part of it. ANI
