“Everyone thinks Michael is buried at Forest Lawn, but he’s not,” an insider spilled to The ENQUIRER. “The family has kept the secret for safety reasons and to fulfill Michael’s wishes, but Katherine has privately revealed the truth to friends.” The legend died at age 50 after a lethal cocktail of prescription medications, including the anesthetic "Propofol." His personal doctor Conrad Murray served two years in jail on an involuntary manslaughter rap for causing the tragedy that shook the world.

He would spend hours there writing. The family wanted him to rest in peace in a familiar place.”
