Michael Jackson will be buried in a private ceremony for friends and family on August 29, the date that would have been the pop star’s 51st birthday, according to a Reuters report.
The 10 a.m. PDT burial will be held at Glendale Forest Lawn Memorial Park, in a suburb of Los Angeles, a family spokesman told Reuters.
The “Thriller” singer died suddenly on June 25 after suffering cardiac arrest. But the reason why Jackson’s heart stopped, if anyone knows, has not been made public. The autopsy report has been sealed pending an investigation of Jackson’s drug usage, and the role his doctors played in the administering of potentially lethal drugs.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with Jackson when he died, said in a personal video posted on YouTube yesterday that he was “afraid to return phone calls” or use e-mail due to the controversy over Jackson’s death. “I have done all I could do,” Murray told supporters. “I told the truth, and I have faith the truth will prevail.”

Buried on your birthday? That's just wrong. (Actually, it's ever more wrong considering the fact that he died two months before his birthday. Ick.)

Where is everyone gonna be that day in LA, Aug 29th?
Where is the procession, tribute, “b-day bash”?
Burried on his B-Day was a very stipid idea!!!
He should remain in Masoleum for everyone to visit!
Michael Jackson (1958-FOREVER)
