Michael Jackson‘s family has recently been informed that the late pop star singer’s brain will be withheld, due to a pending investigation on his death.

The Jackson family were given the choice of whether to wait up to an additional three weeks to bury his body, or to go on ahead and bury it without a brain. The family has chosen to do the former.

According to medical specialists, the coroner’s office plans on performing certain neuropathology tests to assist in determining the exact cause of the singer’s death. However, these tests cannot be performed until at least two weeks after the time of death, so that the brain would have had sufficient time to harden sufficiently to be sliced open.

Sources report the Jackson’s brain was already removed before it was returned to relatives.

    Wow! Will this never end? I feel so very sorry for the family at this point. It is awful to lose a loved one suddenly, and to have all this hype around the death makes it really hard. Sure, MJ had a lot of problems. Will removing his brain change that? No. Will knowing whether or not he had a drug problem bring him back? No. A nd yet there are people out there, some are probably reading this, who sincerely believe that the public has a right to know. I am not one of them. The family should have this time to mourn and try to move on with their lives. Sudden death goes deeper than anything I have ever experienced. Pray for the family and just leave them alone. He was an excellent performer, but now it is over. Like it or not, they are only human.

    I agree. The decision of whether officials are even ALLOWED to examine the brain should rest with the family. Instead, they are forced to bury him without his brain? What kind of monsters are those officials.

    While they have his brain out, maybe they could study it to see if they can learn what made him a child molestor.
