The body of soul singer James Brown has yet to be buried as attorneys and his children work to settle issues surrounding his estate, including where he will be laid to rest.
For now, his body lies in a sealed casket in his home on Beech Island, said Charles Reid, manager of the C.A. Reid Funeral Home in Augusta, Ga., which handled the services.
Brown died of heart failure Dec. 25 at age 73. His will has yet to be filed, said Buddy Dallas, an attorney for the singer. The room where Brown's body lies is being kept at a controlled temperature, and security guards keep watch, Reid said.
The funeral home delivered Brown's body after services Dec. 30, Reid said.
Brown's home has been locked since hours after his death to protect his memorabilia, furnishing, clothes and other personal items, Dallas said. "Just imagine what would have happened," Dallas said. "Items of James Brown would have left there like items off the shelves of Macy's in an after-Christmas sale."
The trustees for his will, along with Brown's children, will determine the burial site, Dallas said. (continue)
In related James Brown news, a 62 year old Alabama man was admitted into the hospital after being shot by a 70 year old man after a heated argument over . . . wait for it . . . the height of the soul singer. No bullshit.
