The body of Mickey Rooney, the “Andy Hardy” film star who died Sunday at age 93, is at the center of a family dispute that has prevented the actor’s body from being claimed.
Three days after the actor’s death, his body remains at the mortuary at Forest Lawn cemetery, Bruce Ross, an attorney for Rooney’s estate told TheWrap on Wednesday.

Ross added that the parties are attempting to resolve their differences privately, but they will seek the court’s assistance on Friday if the matter can’t be resolved.
