Michael Jackson to be buried without his brain

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.

Los Angeles Coroner’s spokesman Craig Harvey 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.

We talking about this last night. With an autopsy they remove the brain and other organs.

Like he needs it now. Did he really use it when it worked?

Yes and it was taught to hate himself as a black person. It was also taught never to grow up and be an adult. It was also taught selfishness by his father.

Ok, what am I supposed to do with this information? Who knew it takes two weeks for a brain to harden? Curious minds want to know...

I agree. If they want to know more about Michael, they don’t need to study his brain. The need to study what the Bible has to say about our sin nature, and then study the historical environment in which he was raised.

It's unused and in like-new condition.

A fitting tribute. In life, he walked around without it all the time.

But I thought he was going to be turned into a plastic sculpture.....

.....and put on public display.

I'm disappointed (/sarc)

I'm not a religious person, but stuff like that seems immoral.
