National Ledger - Shaq & Funeral: Shaquille O'Neal Pays for Shaniya Davis Service: "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 7 ft 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."
