    Michael Jackson's bed removed from planned auction

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — The bed where Michael Jackson died is no longer for sale.

    Julien's Auctions has removed the queen-sized headboard from its auction of items from 100 N. Carolwood Drive, Jackson's last residence.

    Company president Darren Julien said Tuesday the mattress was never for sale, but he removed the carved headboard seen in evidence photos during the trial of Jackson's physician from the sale at the request of Jackson's estate.

    The auction of art, furnishings and other items from the home where Jackson lived with his three children is set for Dec. 17.

      that bed would be evidence in many court cases, I imagine.

        The actual mattress probably was.That was just the headboard,minimal if any DNA would be on it,and/or the thing would be irrelevent in court.

      The first story I read said 'death bed' not headboard, but even still, it's creepy and gross and I'm glad it was removed.

      Yeah good call.Steven King bought the van that hit him,just cuz that type of stuff would end up in some sleazy traveling MJ museum,w/ that as "See Michael Jacksons Death Bed" as the main draw.Should probably be destroyed.Its just creepy and wrong to make $$$ off that type of thing.

      i don't understand why all of this is being auctioned off anyway, he has 3 children. thats just not right to auction off items important to their father, its just not right.

      it was the owners of the house MJ leased furnished that are auctioning the furniture items not the Jackson family who dont own the items.

      • prtyfdup 5 mths ago
        Very much so but most will do anything for the almight dollar, won't they? And then there are those who will buy it...........sick society we are in.

      Like buying the gun that killed John Lennon. who would want to be the proud owner of crap like that?
      • Me NotYou 6 mths ago

    • Ti Parham  •  Sulphur, United States  •  6 mths ago
      That is just plain creepy!
    • Tom  •  6 mths ago
      shocking that the headboard was up for auction in the first place. I find the entire auction tasteless!
      • Reyna 6 mths ago
        I do also :(
    • drea  •  6 mths ago
      it shouldnt have been in auction in the 1st place
    • Ashley  •  6 mths ago
      Reading truly is a lost art. They were not selling the mattress. They were selling the headboard and now they are not.
      • Renee` 6 mths ago
        Doesn't matter what section or which part of the bed it is. This is just plain morbid! It is the very idea of what happened in, on, and the circumstances around that bed that are objectionable and creepy. Seriously? would you really want to "sleep" where MJ died?
    • A Yahoo! User  •  New York, United States  •  6 mths ago
      Queen size bed, i'm surprised it's not a king or california king......
    • Chrissie  •  Chico, United States  •  6 mths ago
      This bedroom looks much nicer than the photos I have seen taken after the crime. It looked like a dump in the pictures taken by the police.
    • Gato  •  6 mths ago
      Reaching the point of Necrophilia. Ridiculous focus on dead strangers sure indicates a lack of one's own interesting existence.
    • Skye  •  6 mths ago
      It is sick that they are doing this, but what's even sicker is the person who buys it. That person wouldn't be a fan of MJ's, just another a hole out to make a buck!
    • Vikki Stahl  •  Houston, United States  •  5 mths ago
      Why would someone want a bed that someone died hopefully someone was intending it as a shrine to MJ and not a usable mattress
    • Renee`  •  6 mths ago
      Unless the children are financially destitute... This should NOT be an item up for auction. Since the children are NOT in financial distress, the very idea is just plain morbid.

      gross
