Sherman Hemsley died at his home in El Paso, Texas on July 24. But three
months on, the star of the CBS series “The Jeffersons” has yet to be
laid to rest as the beneficiaries of his will, and even his cause of
death, have been called into question.
A worker at the Eastside location of the San Jose Funeral Home in El
Paso, Texas confirmed to FOX411’s Pop Tarts column that Hemsley was
still at the home, and that they were waiting for a court order telling
them what to do with his body.
It was revealed in August that Hemsley’s body had not been buried amid a
legal dispute between his former manager and self-proclaimed business
partner and live-in best friend Flora Enchinton – who was named as the
sole beneficiary in his will – and a Philadelphia man, Richard Thornton,
who claims to be the actor’s brother. Thornton filed a civil lawsuit
disputing the validity of the will, signed by Hemsley one month prior to his death.
