Something stinks to high heaven about Malcolm X grandsons death

[bigdarryl]

He was invited to Mexico and murdered then embalmed which is against Muslim tradition His family wasn't even notified about him being embalmed.Of coarse the media is ignoring this story.Mark Thompson will have the grandson's family on his show tomorrow

1. maybe

They didn't kniw not to embalm him, or maybe they had to for health reasons. I find it hard to judge them on the embalming part.

2. Thanks for post...I do believe something is sinister with his murder

3. My uncle died after a short trip in Mexico. Given what I went through to repatriate the body...

it does not surprise me at all that the body was embalmed without gaining permission. The country is overwhelmingly Catholic and embalming is very much the norm. As to his being there by invitation, I don't know the details, but rather doubt it was a high level "official" type of scenario that might suggest something amiss?

4. Why wouldn't he be embalmed if it is the norm in that country? He was murdered in a bar, and absent

some garb, or other signifier that he was a practicing Muslim, why would it be assumed that his body should be treated differently than the norm?
