James Brown’s ‘alleged love child’ is kicking up a stink after reports that her ‘father’s’ body has ‘gone missing’.

LaRhonda Pettit is causing quite the commotion now that she is unaware of the location of Brown’s body, as she has been attempting to carry out another autopsy after believing that his death was suspicious. Since Brown’s death on Christmas day in 2006, his body has been kept at his legitimate daughter Deanna’s house whilst a public mausoleum is prepared. According to Pettit, it has now disappeared from the house.

Pettit is one of several people to step forward since Brown’s death and announce that they are the result of an affair. She was not mentioned as a benefactor in his final will.
