Michael Jackson Won't Be Buried Without His Brain

While Michael Jackson's final resting place is still unknown, what we do know is that his brain was temporarily removed for toxicology tests and the family won't bury him without it.

As Hollyscoop reported yesterday, Michael's brain was removed from his body in order for the coroner to conduct a neuropathology test to determine what caused Michael to go into cardiac arrest.

Investigators also say a thorough examination of brain tissue will show which drugs were in his system at the time of his death.

But the family does not want to bury Michael until the toxicology reports are complete and the brain is returned to them.

Assistant chief coroner Ed Winter said: "As soon as we are done with the brain, we'll return it. The last I heard, they are not burying the body yet."

It's unknown how long the toxicology tests will take because the coroner has to wait for the organ to harden, but Michael passed away two weeks ago already. Let's hope they speed up this process so he can finally be laid to rest.

Just too morbid for words. I wish they would cremate him. His body turning into a Thriller-like corpse while it lays around is just disturbing!

It really necessary for the public to hear of these tests, etc. The man is dead, the public is in mourning. Let it be!

that's sad that he is not laid to rest yet, he was human and some of the stalling is unnecessary, what are they going to do open the casket and put a jar with the brain inside next to his body or are they gonna keep the brain and freeze for life, c'mon I am disturbed by this, his brain should be donated to charity for someone else to use if they are dying if the brain is still good to use then they should bury him so the whole thing can be complete, I'm so disturbed by this

The article makes it sound like they have his brain in some large beaker in Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory. I'm sure it's just some brain tissue.
