Michael Jackson's body has been moved to a "secret freezer."
The singer's mother Katherine has ordered his embalmed remains be taken somewhere she can "visit him privately".
Before it was relocated, the body had been temporarily interred in the family crypt of Motown records founder Berry Gordy Jr. at Hollywood's Forest Lawn cemetery.
Katherine is said to be refusing to bury her son - who died on June 25 - because she is scared crazed fans will desecrate or steal his body.
A family friend said: "She just can't bear to let Michael go. By keeping him in the freezer room Katherine feels like she can still talk to him and keep him close. The thought of burying him still fills her with dread."
