'Dr. Death' plans to plastinate King of Pop

Controversial Body Worlds creator Gunther von Hagens plans to preserve the late Michael Jacksons body in a dancing pose for display using his plastination process, a spokesperson told The Local on Monday.

Shortly after the legendary pop entertainer was pronounced dead in Los Angeles, von Hagens released a statement revealing his personal assistant had been contacted by an anonymous member of Jacksons management team about plastination some six months ago.

During the phone conversation we were told about Michael Jacksons interest to become plastinated after his death, the statement said, adding Body Worlds did not confirm the King of Pops interest because the caller wished to remain anonymous and the body donation form is available online.

The validity of the call is soon to be seen, the statement added.

On Monday, Institute for Plastination press spokesperson Christiane Casott told The Local the organisation is still awaiting confirmation the King of Pop wanted to become plastic.

Von Hagens promised the late 50-year-olds family that his body would be preserved through plastination for a didactic eternity, and would be conducted free of charge.

The pose would be a dancing one, to be determined by the family in detail, he added.

The provocative 64-year-old, known as Dr. Death in Germany, is infamous for transforming the bodies of people and animals into exhibition pieces for his Body Worlds exhibitions. He recently caused a stir this May in Berlin where his show, The Cycle of Life" featured dissected corpses having sex.

From what we gather [news feeds, media reports, etc.] the family of Jacko has been tryin' ta ditch his earthly remains, but they just can't seem ta get rid of him!

But do we really need something like this for the self-declared 'King of Pop'?
