Michael Jackson 'to be buried today'

Michael Jackson will be buried today at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Los Angeles, it has been claimed.

The late pop superstar will be laid to rest at sunset in the Great Mausoleum at the cemetery, Sky News reports.

An exclusion zone has been set up around the park and Richard Vonk, who works at the nearby Glendale Florist, said that visible preparations for the burial exceeded those he had seen before.

Vonk said: "One that I remember going by here was Sammy Davis Jr, and his procession came right by and went around the corner.

"Cars and everybody were just going in on their own, like a regular day."

It was previously reported that Jackson had already been buried at the memorial park following his autopsy, but it was later claimed that the singer's body had been moved to a freezer at the request of his mother.

Jackson's death certificate was amended this week to indicate that his passing was a result of "injection by another".
