Almost as mysterious as his death, a huge graffiti memorial to Michael Jackson has been spray painted under the Hypoluxo Road overpass of Interstate 95 in central Palm Beach County.

The King of Pop's name and an image of his famous black hat tilted over his eyes with wavy black hair is painted in between the singer's first and last name in black and silver spray paint. The graffiti appears to pay homage to Jackson while he performs one of his signature dance moves.

Barbara Kelleher, spokeswoman for District Four of the Florida Department of Transportation, the governing body of Interstate 95 and the overpass for five counties including Palm Beach County, said she had not heard of the memorial.

"Once graffiti is reported a work order goes out and the message is covered up quickly," Kelleher said.

She said that images in obscene or offensive nature are normally covered up first.

The graffiti is located on the southbound Interstate I-95 overpass of Hypuluxo Road. Motorists will only notice the graffiti if they look immediately west while passing under the overpass.

One of Michael Jackson's signature dance moves is depicted in the graffiti.
