Contrary to earlier report claiming Michael Jackson will be buried at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills "very soon", new story has just emerged that he has already been laid to rest at the particular venue last Thursday, August 6. The burial, according to Hollyscoop, was a very low key ceremony with father Joe Jackson and sister La Toya Jackson as the only family members attending.
"Michael has already been laid to rest, but other than the Jackson family and the management at Forest Lawn, no one knows the exact spot," a cemetery source says in a statement. "Staff at the cemetery have been fed several different locations, it's as if they are hoping to confuse everyone so it can't leak out. The fear is that thousands of Jackson fans will descend on the cemetery and create a security issue or maybe even damage or deface the grave."
On Sunday, August 9, People magazine ran a story as being informed by a source close to Michael Jackson's family that the late superstar, who passed away on June 25, will be laid to rest at Forest Lawn cemetery in the Hollywood Hills "very soon". The weekly publication cited another source as stating, Michael will be buried near his grandmother, Martha Bridges.
Notwithstanding sketchy details regarding burial plans for Michael, none of his family members has shared with the press a single information about the matter.
