According to Celebrity Net Worth, Brown’s net worth was estimated to be around $100 million at the time of his death. Brown’s family members are vying for a small fortune, which is understandable given his vast wealth. We will have to wait and see what the court decides, and we hope that James Brown is satisfied with the outcome.

LaRhonda Pettit’s Allegation

While the battle over his estate was raging, James Brown’s daughter, LaRhonda Pettit, came forward and claimed that her father died of a heart attack and was murdered. Pettit claimed in 2010 that the body of the “You’ve Got the Power” singer had gone missing.

According to the Irish Examiner, LaRhonda wanted an autopsy performed to determine the actual cause of her father’s death. She was convinced that Brown had been murdered by people who wanted his money.

While LaRhonda Pettit was unwavering in her suspicion, Brown’s other daughter, Deanna Brown Thomas, dismissed the allegations. Deanna also stated, through her spokeswoman Elif Crawford, that Pettit’s claim was false. According to the Guardian, the funeral home director in charge of James Brown’s memorial also stated that the body is still in Deanna’s two-tier mausoleum.

Furthermore, Pettit is not the only one who suspects foul play in the death of James Brown. Many of his friends and former coworkers have questioned the events that led up to the multitalented artist’s death.

There are also questions about why Brown’s body was not autopsied. One of James’ daughters, Yamma Brown, declined to perform the autopsy. Given the uncertainty surrounding James Brown’s death, it’s no surprise that his daughter, LaRhonda Pettit, spoke out. There has been no concrete evidence about the issue for decades, and according to CNN, a dozen people are demanding a criminal investigation into the mysterious events.

James Brown’s Cause Of Death

James, the famous singer known as the Godfather of Soul, shocked the world when he passed away on Christmas Day in 2006 at 73 years old. At first, the hospital officials from Emory University Hospital Midtown in Atlanta said he died because of problems with his heart due to pneumonia. But now, after more than ten years, people are starting to question if that’s really what happened.

Likewise, the doctor who signed the paper saying how Brown died, Dr. Marvin Crawford, isn’t so sure anymore. He said in an interview with CNN that Brown got better quickly after he went to the hospital on December 23. Dr. Crawford even said Brown could have left the hospital if he wanted to. Dr. Crawford wanted to do an autopsy, which is when doctors look really closely to see how someone died, but Brown’s daughter Yamma said no.

Many people, including Brown’s daughter LaRhonda, believe Brown was actually murdered. Lumar even talked about it on the TV news in 2007, but he got killed in Atlanta a year later in a way that still hasn’t been solved.
