Michael Clarke Duncan Remains in Unmarked Tomb as Family, Fiancee Omarosa Feud

Michael Clarke Duncan fiancee and family feud over tomb plaque

Late actor Michael Clarke Duncan is still in an unmarked cemetery tomb a year after his death because his former fiancee Omarosa Manigault and his family can’t come to a simple agreement.

If you were to talk through the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles, you would more than likely stroll right past Duncan’s tomb and never even know about it.

To this day, Duncan’s final resting place hasn’t been marked and instead he remains inside one of the cemetery vaults with no name plate on the front.

So what feud could possibly be more important than marking Duncan’s tomb? Who should order the plaque.

According to TMZ, sources close to Duncan’s former fiancee say that she planned to order a plaque inscribed with Duncan’s name, date of birth and date of death, but his family intervened saying they wanted to handle it.

Needless to say, the family says that story is bogus.

Friends of Duncan’s family are saying that Omarosa is the one who is stepping in the way, especially after she identified herself as Duncan’s “wife” on the cemetery paperwork, rather than his fiancee.

The family also claimed that Omarosa promised to handle the matter and yet she never has.

What makes the feud even more bizarre is that it’s not a battle over money, because the inscription has already been paid for. At this point, someone simply needs to place the order for what they want inscribed on the bronze plaque.

The plaque was actually included in Duncan’s funeral costs so now it’s just up to somebody, anybody, to place the order.

Unfortunately, neither party wants to communicate with the other to handle the issue because of previous unresolved drama over Duncan’s will. 

Reports are even surfacing that the family and Omarosa are not in dispute about what to put on the plaque, they just aren’t interested in sorting the matter out with one another.

One family friend, who refused to take either side in the dispute,  said both parties should be ashamed of themselves.

The source also told TMZ that Duncan’s 95-year-old mother is in poor health and it’s a shame that she hasn’t been able to bury her son without so much drama and unnecessary feuding, still taking place a year after he passed away.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
