Shaquille O’Neal foots bill for five-year-old girl’s funeral

Basketball giant Shaquille O’Neal showed his softer side when he footed the bill for a five-year-old girl’s funeral.

The 37-year-old, who stands at 7ft 1in tall, was touched by the story of five-year-old Shaniya Davis, who was raped and murdered earlier this month.

It is claimed that O’Neal then paid the bill for her funeral, which is estimated to be around $4,500.

O’Neal said to Cleveland Plain Dealer: “Being a law-enforcement guy that investigates crime against children, I wanted to be able to help in some way.”

Davis’s funeral was recently held in Fayetteville, North Carolina, and more than 2,000 people attended.
