Michael Jackson's brain has been returned to his family, fuelling speculation the King Of Pop will be laid to rest this week.

Pathologists removed the organ from the singer's corpse after he passed away on June 25th to carry out a series of tests to determine the cause of his death.

The brain was given back to the Jackson clan last week, amid reports his mother Katherine has decided to bury him at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park cemetery in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills.

The singer's older brother Jermaine has publicly argued Jackson should be buried in the grounds of Neverland, his former home in Santa Barbara, California.

But 79-year-old Katherine reportedly disagreed, insisting her son never wanted to return to the sprawling estate, which he deserted after his child molestation trial in 2005.
