Life Imitates Art
Michael Jackson will be buried this week without his brain it appears. As his family tries to complete details for the funeral tomorrow they have been told it will be held back for tests.
They faced the choice of waiting up to three weeks for Jackson’s brain to be returned to them or go ahead and bury him without it, they chose door number 2.
Los Angeles Coroner’s office confirmed that neuropathology tests will be carried out to see if it holds any clues to the exact cause of his death.
But the examination cannot begin until at least two weeks after the death when the brain has hardened sufficiently to slice it open.
Sources at the coroner’s office revealed that his brain was removed before his body was released to relatives the next day.
A forensic neuropathologist will test Jackson’s brain for, among other things, past drug use and whether he has suffered overdoses in the past.
The brain can also show any past abuse of alcohol or if the deceased had suffered from any one of a number of diseases. The source said that removing the brain is the “only way to carry out the tests”.
One expert explained that the Jackson family could decide to wait and bury the brain with the rest of the body. But it is far more common for the lab to burn the remains once they’ve been examined or for them to be placed into the grave at a later date.

Let's face it, he's moving to Neverland at some point...this will just give people a second item to view for an additional $4.95.
