Jackson Death Certificate

Posted Jul 7th 2009 10:13PM by TMZ Staff

We've obtained a copy of Michael Jackson's death certificate. On cause of death, it says "deferred."

Jackson Death Certificate

It does say Forest Lawn Cemetery was a "temporary" disposition of the body. As we first reported the body will not go back to Forest Lawn. Final burial is pending at an unknown location.

Jackson's occupation is listed as "musician." The type of business is "entertainment." Years in occupation -- 45.

As for race, the word "black" is written.

The informant -- the person who gave the information for the death certificate -- is listed as La Toya Jackson.

The place of residence is not listed as the Holmby Hills home -- rather, it's listed as his parents' home in Encino.

1. Corey F - what a douche - MJ's music is a legend. MJ DID have his "wierd" moments, anyone that states otherwise is blind. Also, I do think/feel that the child stuff did have some truth to it, maybe not all truth but some truth. I do feel bad for the kids, If I was Janet, and Paris started to cry like that I would have just broke down right then and there. I never understood the whole cover the face thing, never will either. And the Grandma needs to let the Mother of the two kids come around - the kids are finally free (mask free that is) and MJ is finally free and if he did everything for love, out of love and in the name of love - then that love should be projected to those kids, meaning, no more isolation (biological/mask wise)! Its weird about the No. 7 with regard to MJ (Numerology is interesting - now calculate the numbers with the letters in the alpha and add those together) & if the family is at lunch where is the body? Y’all burry the poor soul and let him rest his bones - geeeez.

8. You know something all you people in the media who broke Michael Jackson down with all the drive by media crap with all the actuations of the molestations from the lying kids and the parents who have no morals in life what so ever, to help your kids orchestrate the lies for money the biggest payday ever they will have in lifetimes at the cost of destroying the life Michael Jackson who was Acquitted of all charges by a jury but convicted by public opinion, he has spent the rest of his life trying to recover from the ordeal.

For all the money that exchanged hands with all these people who extorted it I hope one day all involved rots in Hades.

11. Good. Let him have some peace, no one needs to know except family where he is buried.
However I think the fireworks will not start with his family. Money is always the cause of family disputes.
