Michael Jackson's children reportedly wear necklaces containing his ashes

Michael Jackson’s children wear jewellery containing the Thriller singer’s ashes, a recent report from RadarOnline has claimed.

According to the publication, Prince Michael, 22, Paris, 21, and 17-year-old Blanket - who now goes by ‘Bigi’ - each have their father’s remains encased in broken heart-shaped necklaces.

“The ashes are now in necklaces like the one that Paris wore to Michael’s memorial service and wrapped around his wrist as he lay in his open coffin,’ an insider revealed.

“She and her brothers rarely wear the necklaces in public. They keep them in locked boxes at home, as they’re afraid of losing the last remains of their father.”

RadarOnline went on to claim that the King of Pop’s mother, Katherine, had Jackson cremated in secret because she was afraid someone would “steal his body.” The "well placed Jackson family source" also alleged that she did so to prevent victims accusing him of sexually abusing them from retrieving DNA evidence.

On 25 June, it’ll mark ten years since Jackson died from cardiac arrest caused by acute Propofol intoxication. Despite conflicting suggestions, it is believed his body is buried inside the Great Mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, California.

Earlier this year, HBO released controversial documentary Leaving Neverland, which saw dancer Wade Robson and actor James Safechuck claim that Jackson groomed and sexually abused them as children.

In in-depth interviews, the pair opened up about how they were both superfans of the former Jackson 5 member in their youth and that they spent significant periods of time with him while he toured. They also detailed several visits to his Neverland ranch in Santa Barbara Country, California.

Back in January, Jackson’s family described the accusations the film as a “public lynching.”

“People have always loved to go after Michael. He was an easy target because he was unique,” his close relatives said in a passionate statement.

“But Michael was subjected to a thorough investigation which included a surprise raid of Neverland and other properties as well as a jury trial where Michael was found to be COMPLETELY INNOCENT.

“There has never been one piece of proof of anything. Yet the media is eager to believe these lies. We can’t just stand by while this public lynching goes on, and the vulture tweeters and others who never met Michael go after him.”
