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.

22. 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.

24. Why would they live in Encino??? Did they never see the Pauley Shore classic Encino Man? Seems like they would live in a better part of L.A.

25. In time, we will probably find out that the accusations were a big sham....a great money making scheme...i don't believe any of it ever happened. It was all about the money, which is what it will always be about. When you are in the public eye, you will be attacked. it is a fact of life, a sad one. But they can never take away the beautiful music, the beautiful images we have of him. Some people get great joy from the tragedy of others. Those are the people who truly have no life.

28. 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.
