Gunther von Hagens, is a German doctor, who is credited with devising a technique, that preserves tissue, called plastination. The process was used on Jackson's chimp, Bubbles, after his death.
Von Hagens suggested that an employee of "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson, had been in contact with him to perform the procedure on Jackson, although Jackson was not a registered donor.http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/27/michael-jacksons-body-hold-the-plastic/
Quote of Director of Publicity for Dr. Von Hagen
"We can further confirm that Mr. Jackson is not now a registered body donor in the Institute for Plastination's Body Donation Program."http://www.tmz.com/2009/06/27/michael-jacksons-body-hold-the-plastic/
