Michael Jackson's father Joe Jackson (L) receives a plaque from Gary Mayor Rudy Clay during a memorial service in the singer's home town of Gary, Indiana, July 10, 2009.

Michael Jackson's father has said the "King of Pop" will be buried at a Los Angeles cemetery² on August 29, which would have been his 51st birthday, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Joe Jackson told the New York Daily News that the plan was finalized³ in recent days.

Media reports last week said Jackson, who died June 25 of cardiac arrest, was buried in a private ceremony in early August. But those reports were based on unnamed sources and never confirmed by Jackson family representatives.

A Jackson family spokesman was not immediately available Monday to comment on the Daily News story, nor was a spokesman at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn cemetery, where Joe Jackson said his son would be buried.

A public memorial for the singer was held in July, but there was never an official confirmation⁴ that the "Thriller⁵" singer was buried after the event.

The reason behind Jackson's cardiac arrest remains⁶ a mystery. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office has completed its autopsy⁷ report but its findings remain sealed until police conclude their investigation⁸.

Los Angeles police are looking into the role prescription⁹ drugs may have played in Jackson's death and the actions of doctors who were treating him in the weeks before he died.

据一家报纸本周一报道，流行天王迈克尔•杰克逊的父亲称杰克逊将于本月29日在洛杉矶一处公墓安葬，当天正是他的51岁生日。

乔•杰克逊向《纽约日报》透露，该计划是在最近几天确定下来的。

迈克尔·杰克逊于6月25日因心脏停搏而去世。上周有媒体报道称，杰克逊已于8月初在一个私人仪式上被安葬。但那些报道都没有明确的来源，也从未得到过杰克逊家人的证实。

周一当天，（有关方面）未能在第一时间联系到杰克逊的家庭发言人就《纽约日报》的这篇报道作出评论，也没能联系到乔•杰克逊所说的将作为他儿子埋葬地的洛杉矶森林草坪墓园的发言人。

迈克尔·杰克逊的公众悼念仪式于七月份举行，但从未有官方证明其在追悼会后被安葬。杰克逊的著名代表作为《颤栗》。

目前，导致杰克逊心脏骤停的原因依然是一个谜。洛杉矶郡的验尸官办公室已完成尸检报告，但在警方结束调查之前，其结果尚未对外公布。

洛杉矶警方正在调查杰克逊之死是否与服用处方药有关，以及在杰克逊死前数周医生对其采取的治疗行动。
