Neil Sears of Mail Online is reporting that Michael Jackson may either have a traditional Islamic funeral... or something dramatically different.
The King of Pop may never be buried at all.
Instead, he could be preserved forever in his "famous moonwalk stance."
Sears reports that German doctor Gunther von Hagens, famous for "embalming corpses in polyurethane," has said: "An agreement is in place to plastinate the King of Pop."
According to the somewhat sensational article by Sears, von Hagens said he "had agreed with representatives of Jackson's family months ago that Jackson's body would be plastinated and placed next to the singer's late chimp Bubbles, who was preserved after his death and is on display in the show at the O2 arena, where the singer was due to appear next month."
On the other hand, Michael Jackson may have a burial more befitting his reported Islamic faith.
However, if a Muslim funeral took place, the body must be buried within two days of the death.
It doesn't appear at this time that Michael Jackson will be buried by Sunday.
Memorial services of any kind have not yet been announced by the Jackson family.
