spinner – Well, this is potentially super-bad news: James Brown’s body has reportedly gone missing. According to the Daily Mirror, LaRhonda Pettit, a daughter of the late Godfather of Soul, claims that his body no longer rests in the crypt that he’d been kept in since 2006. Since his death, Brown’s body has resided at his daughter Deanna’s South Carolina house while the family has worked on mausoleum.
And Pettit thinks foul play’s involved. “My daddy’s body has disappeared. I have no clue where it was taken but I need to know where it is,” she told the Daily Mirror. Brown died on Christmas Day 2006, due to complications stemming from pneumonia and heart failure. But Pettit thinks people were out for Brown’s money and that his death was no accident.
“I’m convinced his death was suspicious and I want those responsible brought to justice,” she said. “The only way to do that is to exhume his body and have an autopsy. It was common knowledge daddy took illegal drugs until his death. He was also hooked on painkillers. At the very least there were enablers who helped cause his death.”
While Pettit’s elaborations end there as to whom the grave robbers could be, it’s not to say that she’s totally out of left field. In 2007, she came forth claiming to be an illegitimate daughter of the Godfather, and DNA tests proved her assertion to be 99.9% accurate. Should Pettit’s claims turn out to be right again, it’s safe to say we hope there’s some payback to whoever did this.
