Jackson Death Certificate
We've obtained a copy of Michael Jackson's death certificate. On cause of death, it says "deferred."
It does say Forest Lawn Cemetery was a "temporary" disposition of the body. As we first reported the body will not go back to Forest Lawn. Final burial is pending at an unknown location.
Jackson's occupation is listed as "musician." The type of business is "entertainment." Years in occupation -- 45.
As for race, the word "black" is written.
The informant -- the person who gave the information for the death certificate -- is listed as La Toya Jackson.
The place of residence is not listed as the Holmby Hills home -- rather, it's listed as his parents' home in Encino.

Here's what we do know: it was part of some kind of interview about the ownership of Neverland, done by a media outlet that will air tomorrow. They requested to use Neverland as the backdrop and permission was granted.
Michael Jackson Burial Mystery
We've learned Michael Jackson's body will not be going back to Forest Lawn.
The body will go somewhere else pending final burial -- we don't know where that is. If a casket goes to Forest Lawn, it's a decoy.
We've learned the death certificate lists Forest Lawn as the responsible mortuary because the body was embalmed there -- but the rest is being kept secret.

Michael's Daughter: 'I Love Him So Much'
Michael Jackson's only daughter, 11-year-old Paris Michael Katherine, just gave an emotional speech at her father's memorial service -- saying he was the "best father you could ever imagine. I love him so much."
Mystery of Michael's Body
Michael Jackson lived in mystery, so it's hardly a surprise his final resting place is a puzzle.
We're told Jackson will not be buried at Forest Lawn. We checked with Neverland and with law enforcement in the area and it's almost certain the body won't be going there.
We've also checked with various cemeteries in the L.A. area and so far we can't find any place where it looks like Jackson will be buried.
There's a buzz the motorcade underway will be a decoy, but we can't confirm that.
Stay tuned ...
