Threats to steal Michael Jackson body
Michael Jackson’s body has been moved amid fears fans would break into the crypt where it was stored.
The late ‘Thriller’ star’s coffin was taken to a private tomb belonging to Motown records founder Berry Gordy after the memorial service last week, but thousands of people have flocked to the spot since the location was leaked last weekend.
The Jackson family have now moved the coffin to the basement of the main building at Forest Lawn Cemetery after several calls were received by the cemetery threatening to steal Jackson’s body from its crypt.
A source said: "The Jackson family was not pleased and ordered the casket to be placed in the basement for security reasons."
Michael’s sister LaToya Jackson – who supplied information for the star’s death certificate – was reportedly responsible for choosing what he wore to be buried in.
The 50-year-old star is believed to have been dressed in black studded trousers, an oversized gold belt and two black gloves. His trademark single white glove was also placed in the coffin with him.
