Michael Jackson Will Be Laid to Rest

Almost two months after his death, Michael Jackson's body will finally be laid to rest. This is after two months of autopsies and family disputes over his estate and children.

The empty coffin that appeared for his memorial can now be put to rest as well. Anyone in their right mind should know that any coroner or police force wouldn't let the body leave the area where it was kept due to the ongoing investigations.

It is always a sad thing when it takes so long for a body to be laid to rest; no matter the circumstances. It was imperative for the autopsies and investigations to be completed before his burial. This way Michael Jackson's body can be left in Forest Lawn without exhuming it for later forensic studies in his death.

The case against his doctor will more than likely go on for years before any real answers or convictions are to be found in Jackson's death. The investigators in the case will have to comb through more information than, we, the public will ever hear about before, during and after the case is finished. Although, I haven't talked with any investigators or anyone else in the case, following such cases locally this has been the norm for these types of deaths in this area of the country.

There is the cases of his children and estate that will be an ongoing issue for quite some time as well. There is never anything easy about the care of a child or children under age after a parents death. All interested parties have to be heard. Filings and paper work as far as the care and who has custody of children in a case like this will take as long as the investigation in Jackson's death.

While it seems part of his estate has been settled, it really will never be settled. There will always be something or someone that will throw a kink or roadblock into how the estate will be completely settled. There will always be suspicions, accusations and conspiracies, as with any other celebrities death in this same manner, that will be around for decades after their death.

It is time for this music icon to be laid to rest. The sad thing is his actual burial date is going to be on his 51st birthday. It seem rather a morbid way to remember a son's, brother, father's and a music legends birthday.

If fans and family would rather not consider it morbid, it could be considered a celebration of his life. By burying Michael Jackson on the day of his birth could be a way to celebrate his life in a meaningful way. By remembering Jackson in this manner, "Circle of Life" by Elton John comes to mind. It would in this case a fitting song to be played during this time.
