Mourners begin arriving for Jackson burial service
Under a tight cordon of security, a steady stream of luxury cars ferried guests to Forest Lawn Memorial-Park in Glendale this evening for the final leg of pop singer Michael Jackson’s odyssey from death to burial.
Longtime Jackson friend Elizabeth Taylor, who was whisked through the 25-foot-high cemetery gates in a Mercedes-Benz Maybach, was among an expected 200 guests at Jackson’s sunset burial service on a hot night exactly 10 weeks after he was found dead.
The Rev. Jesse Jackson, the Rev.

Michael Jackson To Be Buried On Birthday
Tragic singer, Michael Jackson, is scheduled to be buried on his birthday, August 29, at Forrest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California. He is to be interned in a private mausoleum, only accessible to family members and property staff.
Jackson’s last doctor, Conrad Murray, who was also the physician of singer James Brown, before he too suffered cardiac arrest and died, is proclaiming his innocence.
Michael Jackson, was as the Los Angeles government affidavit states, a drug addict. Murray, Arnold Klein and several other doctors should not have been giving Jackson the drugs he wanted, in abundant supply, fuelling his addiction.
Jackson was addicted to painkillers and anesthesia, classic symptoms of someone seeking to escape a harsh reality of life. Other doctors facilitated those drug cravings as well. They are all guilty of overmedicating him, at his request. They should not have been so free with their prescription pads.

However, at the end of the day, Michael Jackson and only Michael Jackson, needed to once and for all acknowledge, he needed help with his addictions that were spiraling out of control. You have to want to quit and stick with it.
Jackson was taking drug cocktails containing more pills than an AIDS patient, though he did not have the disease.
