Disable PeoplePicker control delete Image

Hi Guys,

I am trying to disable PeoplePicker Control on sharepoint list edit form. So far i have tried to disable the control however the "Delete" image still works. Any help/input on this is much appreciated.

var _PeoplePicker = $("div[title='" + "PeoplePicker" + "']");
		var _PeoplePickerTopId = _PeoplePicker.attr('id');
		var _PeoplePickerEditer = $("input[title='" + "PeoplePicker" + "']");
		_PeoplePickerEditer.attr('disabled',true);
