The body of James Brown has suffered a superbad fate — dismembered as part of a paternity dispute and relocated 14 times because of family in-fighting.
Brown’s widow, Tomi Rae, described the tragic turn of events in an interview with London’s The Mail on Sunday.
The body of the legendary singer was cut up after a judge ordered a DNA test to determine whether Brown was the father of Rae’s son, James Jr.
“They couldn’t do the normal DNA test because of all the embalming fluid in his body,” Rae said. “So they had to cut off his legs to get to his bone marrow. I wept uncontrollably when I found out. My husband, the greatest dancer in the world, had his legs hacked off in death.”
