The United Kingdom's tabloid "The Daily Mail" is now reporting that Bubbles' body was "plastinated" and displayed  with controversial German doctor Gunther von Hagens’ “The Body Worlds & Mirror Of Time” exhibition at the O2 in London a number of years ago.

“Plastination” is the practice of preserving corpses with polyurethane. Van Hagens reportedly told the Daily Mail that,  "…an agreement is in place to plastinate the King of Pop” and reunite him with his favorite pet.

Unfortunately, the story does not end there. It has been reported that  “Bubbles” is not dead, but is currently residing at the Center for Great Apes. Furthermore, the supposed "agreement" with the Body Worlds and Mirror of Time exhibition may actually be a hoax. 

As in life, this story continues to intrigue.
