James Brown's Publicist Claims the Late Soul Singer Was Murdered

According to public record, Brown suffered a fatal heart attack on Christmas Day in 2006. However, this is a scenario Hollander will not accept; she told the Globe, "James Brown did not die of a heart attack," stating her opinion in no uncertain terms.
Hollander is also convinced that Brown's son-in-law Darren Lumar was killed for knowing too much. Lumar was murdered in November 2008 after appearing on a local Georgia TV show where he claimed, "There's not a bone in my body that believes my father-in-law died from congestive heart failure."
"He was going to tell the truth about what was done to James Brown," Hollander opined. "Now I am living in fear of my life because I'm the one who can bring forth the truth."
The private investigator she hired seems to agree: "There's something fishy here," she concluded. "The evidence speaks for itself."
This isn't the first weird bit of controversy surrounding the death of "Mr. Dynamite." Last year Brown's daughter LaRhonda Pettit claimed that his body had been taken from its crypt in order to prevent an autopsy saying, "I'm convinced his death was suspicious and I want those responsible brought to justice."
There was also the instance in which a 70-year-old man shot his friend in an argument over the height of the recently deceased singer. We hear he was 5'5" ... just saying.

September 16 2011 at 1:34 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replywho cares, james brown is dead. read the news.
oh i forgot another case of the black man killed because
he was to good. yeah right. look he died. period no if and or buts.
blacks need to learn to deal with what happend last year last century
or when ever. stop trying to sue people because u want money.
if you want money get off your lazy ass get an education and get a job.
stop trying to live off of the governments hand outs. the farmer today isn't
responsible for what the farm 100-200 years ago did. now shut up once and for
all. oh i forgot now your will call me a racist. you would be wrong. i am tired of people sueing people over stupid ****. oh my coffee is to hot. the doctor saved my life, but had to cut off my leg. enough is enough. shut up and deal with life.
i have to admit you have a valid point and I like it. I say this all the time and I get told I am a sell out.

Here's why you're a racist: if you were upset purely by laziness or ignorance or whatever it is you're railing against (again, none of which makes sense in the context of this article, it seems like you decided to spew this comment out basically because it's about black people), you would be upset by a person of ANY RACE exhibiting those traits. And I'm not even going to get into the fact that you seem to believe oppression of black people ended with slavery. There's so much wrong with that that I don't have the time or space to correct you in this statement.

People need to get over every famous person dying there is a conspiracy. Granted the Tupac coverup involved rogue cops and the like because they worked for Death row Records and covered up who did it ,but man James Brown? The guy was a junkie with a bad heart. Yawwwwwn. Bobby Fuller's death was mysterious not James effin' Brown.
