The Godfather of Soul was buried in the mausoleum after he died on Christmas Day 2006 at the age of 73.

LaRhonda Pettit, 48, told the U.K.’s Daily Mail that Brown’s body had gone missing.

“My daddy’s body has disappeared. I have no clue where it was taken, but I need to know where,” Pettit told the tabloid in a story that was posted online on Friday.

“I’m convinced his death was suspicious and I want the people responsible brought to justice. The only way to do that is to exhume his body and have an autopsy. I cannot understand why one was never conducted.”

The Daily Mail noted that Pettit was one of 12 people that claimed to be one of Brown’s illegitimate children following his death. She took a DNA test in 2007 to prove that she was indeed the singer’s daughter. According to the Guardian, Pettit was not included in Brown’s will and didn’t receive a part of his estate. She was one of several children born outside of the singer’s four marriages.

Charlie Reid, director of C.A. Reid Funeral Home, told The Augusta Chronicle that Pettit’s claims are just a bunch of bologna.

“There’s no truth to that,” said Reid, who handled the memorial services for the singer. “It would have had to have gone through us. We would have been contacted if that happened.”

Reid added that Brown’s family hasn’t notified authorities about a missing body.

“This would be a criminal offense. If this was the case, she would need to talk to police,” Reid said. He explained that the family would need a permit if they actually wanted to move the body.

Although an autopsy wasn’t conducted, a private forensic agency concluded that Brown’s cause of death was a heart attack.
