Joe Jackson: Michael Will NOT Be Buried At Neverland

LOS ANGELES — Michael Jackson's father, Joe, says planning for the pop star's funeral is awaiting results of a second autopsy.

Joe Jackson told reporters outside the family's Los Angeles compound at midday Monday that the second autopsy is under way, but he expects results soon. The county coroner conducted an autopsy on Friday but has deferred a decision on the cause of death.

Joe Jackson denies reports that his son will be buried at his Neverland ranch. He says, "That's not true."

He also says that Michael Jackson's children are happy and are in the company of other children about their own age.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who spent the morning with the Jacksons, says consideration of how to celebrate the legacy of the pop star must be done carefully.

So what's wrong with a daddy wanting his little boy to be a rich and famous entertainer? What could possibly be wrong with that?

Nothing unless you live your life vicariously through him, milk him for all he's worth, abuse him, rob him of his childhood, and make him so timid that he couldn't even sustain relationships with adults.

Did anybody read the first sentence in this article? Is it just me or does it not make any sense

The vultures who got MJ's estate was his family he's been supporting since he was 5 years old.

I think that man is reprehensible. He stole Michael's childhood, and now he's looking to profit from his death.

maybe this is wise.. so the vultures who got the share of this estate cannot profit from MJ' in death.
