傑克遜冥壽日安葬洛杉磯

Michael Jackson's father has said the "King of Pop" will be buried at a Los Angeles cemetery on August 29, which would have been his 51st birthday, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Joe Jackson told the New York Daily News that the plan was finalized in recent days.

media reports last week said Jackson, who died June 25 of cardiac arrest, was buried in a private ceremony in early August. But those reports were based on unnamed sources and never confirmed by Jackson family representatives.

A Jackson family spokesman was not immediately available Monday to comment on the Daily News story, nor was a spokesman at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn cemetery, where Joe Jackson said his son would be buried.

A public memorial for the singer was held in July, but there was never an official confirmation that the "Thriller" singer was buried after the event.

The reason behind Jackson's cardiac arrest remains a mystery. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office has completed its autopsy report but its findings remain sealed until police conclude their investigation.

Los Angeles police are looking into the role prescription drugs may have played in Jackson's death and the actions of doctors who were treating him in the weeks before he died.

據一家報紙本週一報道，流行天王邁克爾•傑克遜的父親稱傑克遜將於本月29日在洛杉磯一處公墓安葬，當天正是他的51歲生日。

喬•傑克遜向《紐約日報》透露，該計劃是在最近幾天確定下來的。

邁克爾·傑克遜於6月25日因心臟停搏而去世。上週有媒體報道稱，傑克遜已於8月初在一個私人儀式上被安葬。但那些報道都沒有明確的來源，也從未得到過傑克遜家人的證實。

週一當天，（有關方面）未能在第一時間聯繫到傑克遜的家庭發言人就《紐約日報》的這篇報道作出評論，也沒能聯繫到喬•傑克遜所說的將作爲他兒子埋葬地的洛杉磯森林草坪墓園的發言人。

邁克爾·傑克遜的公衆悼念儀式於七月份舉行，但從未有官方證明其在追悼會後被安葬。傑克遜的著名代表作爲《顫慄》。

目前，導致傑克遜心臟驟停的原因依然是一個謎。洛杉磯郡的驗屍官辦公室已完成屍檢報告，但在警方結束調查之前，其結果尚未對外公佈。

洛杉磯警方正在調查傑克遜之死是否與服用處方藥有關，以及在傑克遜死前數週醫生對其採取的治療行動。
