James Brown

From the NY Post:

Legendary entertainer James Brown is now “The Gone-father of Soul.”

One of Brown’s daughters reportedly claims that the singer’s body has gone missing from its crypt — part of an elaborate plot to prevent her from carrying out an autopsy that will determine whether he was really killed.

“My daddy’s body has disappeared. I have no clue where it was taken, but I need to know where,” said LaRhonda Pettit, 48. “I’m convinced his death was suspicious and I want the people responsible brought to justice.”

Text continues after gallery …

The R&B great — famous for his feverish dance moves and songs like “Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag” and “It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” — died on Dec. 25, 2006 at age 73.

    why is it that whenever a celeberty dies,their relatives always thinks somebody else is responsable.

    what? Why don’t they just let the man rest in peace. They should’ve done an autopsy when he first died. This is disrespectful to the diceased to keep digging up the body. RIP James Brown.

    There’s probably some validity to his daughters statement. If my daddy body wentit missing, I would want to know what’s up with it as well.

    It’s a shame..but not unthinkable that he was murdered.

    Okay wtf …some of the people posting their opinions need to stop by spellcheck before they make the post OFFICIAL and some of the others might want to get to the nearest dictionary before making a COMPLETE a** out of yourselves with this jibberish.

    @ Sternie
    with all the mysterious deaths that happen alot to actors, actresses and musicians can you blame them? Money is the cause of death unfortunately especially when there is multiple dollars, estates, royalities and wills at stake… those are more than enough reasons to think that.

    Its possible cause his casket was in his home in Beech Island S.C for almost a year before they put it in the crypt.

    I hope nobody is using his body like they have Geronimo’s(Apache warrior) @ Yale(Skull&Bones)

    them europeans might have beat Christianity into OUR heads but they into our so-called voodoo behind closed doors

    THE STORY IS FALSE!
    This isn’t news. This is crap.
    News One is garbage.
    You might think they pay me to come here and bash them. As they say, any publicity…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SheFly69/ SheFly69

    When I hear his daughter on the news I might believe 1/2 of it. These WF’s make their living spreading lies and gossiping about everything and everybody. You can’t believe anything you hear. This may just be something for the news to get publicity.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Gatekeepa/ Gatekeepa

    I don’t believe the story either.. if in fact the daughter said it .. if it was true.. why wouldn’t this be national news?

    Didn’t the Brown family keep his dead body on ice for six months before he was put in the crypt?(officially wasn’t laid to rest for six months). Six months is plenty of time to do a autopsy.

    Why do black folk hold the decease body above ground for so long? Oh I forgot..life insurance policy and burial insurance is not a priority. So we got to beg and borrow to put our love ones away..if you can’t afford life insurance..atleast get burial insurance.

    a bunch of old pale homos are performing rituals with James Brown’s body on the altar, feeding off his energy…

    they took our ancient mysticism(cosmology) and traded it to us for the abc-123 watered down baby religion
