It's over two weeks since James Brown died, but his body has still not been buried, despite a public funeral in Augusta on 30 Dec, because of ongoing issues relating to the Godfather of Soul's will and estate. Until his family reach an agreement over the estate, a decision can't be made as to where Brown will be interred. According to Brown's lawyer, Buddy Dallas, the will has not yet been filed, but the singer's children will decide on the location for the burial.
Dallas has also confirmed that the star's Beech Island home was secured in the hours following his death in an attempt to prevent thieves from raiding the house for valuable memorabilia. The lawyer told CNN: "Just imagine what would have happened. Items of James Brown would have left there like items off the shelves of Macy's in an after-Christmas sale".
