Jackson Death Certificate

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.

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.

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.

The body has to go SOMEWHERE that is classified as a cemetery or mortuary as per CA state law. My guess is that a mortuary closer to the coroner is going to serve as the temp. holding spot until the brain is returned and the proper channels can be paid for Jacko to go back to Neverland.

Now, the closest place to the coroner is in Whittier, the big Catholic cemetery.
