The King is Dead!

[Evil Muppet]

I actually heard that he died of food poisoning.  Apparently he ate a 9 year old wiener.  

[Cowcidile]

Are you trying to say he got the pig flu?

Are you trying to say he got the pig flu?

I thought Bubbles was a chimp.

The report from the coroner has been released:

Some blame it on the sunlight, others have blamed it on the moonlight. Others suggested I should blame it on the good times. However, my autopsy suggests I should blame it on the heart attack.

Oh you! 

[Jackson]

I heard it will be the first autopsy ever performed by Madame Tussauds's Wax Museum. They will then melt him down and make Lego's so little kids can play with him for a change.

[Cowcidile]

It wasn't a heart attack, He was watching some boys play and had a stroke.

[mikehz]

What I want to know is who gets custody of Bubbles?

Or, does the chimp get the kids.

[Cowcidile]

I heard that in his will he wanted to have his skin put onto the bones of the elephant man.

[libertylover]

Did they ever prove it in court?  Or did Jackson's actions of settling out of court make him look guilty.  He did make some rather incriminating statements.
I wonder if he actually died from complications associated with all the plastic surgery he had.   Cause surgical infections can seriously damage a heart.
I am kind of shocked as much access as he had to medical care to die at just 50 seems a bit odd.

The guy was a paranoid hypochondriac with more money than god, regardless of his current money problems.  Access to elaborate tests, doctors whenever he wanted them at his beck and call, professional dietary staff, and was actually (probably) in fairly good physical health because his dance routines were physically demanding - I'd expect he was above average in cardiovascular health for a middle aged male.  Didn't smoke, a germophobe, and probably took prophylactic antibiotics every couple months (people actually do that, you know, when they're rich and fuckin' nuts). 

I'm betting he took too many pills, or was strung out and forgot he took pills and took them again.  People like him don't just keel over from natural causes.  They're all pillheads, look at Judy Garland, Anna Nicole, Liza Minelli, Paula Abdul, Liz Taylor - even before all this, if someone created a question thread regarding MJ's habits, I woulda said pillhead without a doubt.  These recluses huff Oxygen, NO2, vaporize morphine, stick fentanyl patches on themselves, morphine suppositories (I am not making that up), all sorts of wild shit.  You couldn't even get a photo of this fucker without two days notice, and then he'd be flanked by handlers. 

Dude coded, his staff wiped him up and put a bathrobe on him, hid the freaky shit, called the fuzz.  The End. 

I'll buy that.  You are most likely correct.  I have heard of these rich types doing all kinds of weird freaky stuff to stay young or kill pain or both.

Wonder if they will cover it up in the autopsy the real cause of death?

Bubbles was removed to an animal sanctuary in early 2000.  Bubbles attempted suicide in 2003 but was saved and still lives in the animal sanctuary.  Truth is crazier than fiction. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubbles_(chimpanzee)  

Jackson's oldest son is like 12 years old.  There isn't any word on who is to take care of the children in case of Jackson's death.  

Really freaky was the fact that Jackson had been practicing for his up coming tour in which he was suppose to make 50 million pounds.  Considering his debt the kids might not inherit anything after the estate goes through escrow.  I bet Sony executives are dancing they have been wanting to snap up all the rights to Jackson's catalog for some time now.  And even though I think Jackson most likely died at his own hands.  There are an awful lot of people who will get very rich from his death and none of them are relatives.

Well, he has a stake in the Beatles' catalog, as well as his own.  I thought there was like a 200 million dollar loan against his Beatles collection but that could be just a rumor. 

Anyway, no matter how many odd things he did, he was still an amazing talent and I think it's really cool that he was a part of our time.  I've always been a big fan, and I always will be.  The music to me is timeless.  I suppose there will be things about him that we'll always wonder, but hopefully he will be remembered as he was - one of the greatest entertainers of our time.

Someplace, somewhere, a little boy is breathing a sigh of relief....

[Riddler]

What do you think did him in?

it ain't easy bein' a black man trapped in a white man/womans body..
god finally said:
"alright already....enough with you, you little freak....you had it all....i should have done this 15 years ago."

He Knew.

Years ago Michael and I were having a deep conversation about life in general.

I can't recall the exact subject matter but he may have been questioning me about the circumstances of my Fathers Death.

At some point he paused, he stared at me very intensely and he stated with an almost calm certainty, "I am afraid that I am going to end up like him, the way he did."

I promptly tried to deter him from the idea, at which point he just shrugged his shoulders and nodded almost matter of fact as if to let me know, he knew what he knew and that was kind of that.

14 years later   I am sitting here watching on the news an ambulance leaves the driveway of his home, the big gates, the crowds outside the gates, the coverage, the crowds outside the hospital, the Cause of death and what may have led up to it and the memory of this conversation hit me, as did the unstoppable tears.

A predicted ending by him, by loved ones and by me, but what I didn't predict was how much it was going to hurt when it finally happened.

The person I failed to help is being transferred right now to the LA County Coroners office for his Autopsy.

All of my indifference and detachment that I worked so hard to achieve over the years has just gone into the bowels of hell and right now I am gutted.
I am going to say now what I have never said before because I want the truth out there for once.

Our relationship was not "a sham" as is being reported in the press. It was an unusual relationship yes, where two unusual people who did not live or know a "Normal life" found a connection, perhaps with some suspect timing on his part. Nonetheless, I do believe he loved me as much as he could love anyone and I loved him very much.

I wanted to "save him" I wanted to save him from the inevitable which is what has just happened.

His family and his loved ones also wanted to save him from this as well but didn't know how and this was 14 years ago. We all worried that this would be the outcome then.

At that time, In trying to save him, I almost lost myself.

He was an incredibly dynamic force and power that was not to be underestimated.

When he used it for something good, It was the best and when he used it for something bad, It was really, REALLY bad.

Mediocrity was not a concept that would even for a second enter Michael Jackson's being or actions.

 I became very ill and emotionally/ spiritually exhausted in my quest to save him from certain self-destructive behavior and from the awful vampires and leeches he would always manage to magnetize around him.

I was in over my head while trying.

I had my children to care for, I had to make a decision.

The hardest decision I have ever had to make, which was to walk away and let his fate have him, even though I desperately loved him and tried to stop or reverse it somehow.

After the Divorce, I spent a few years obsessing about him and what I could have done different, in regret.

Then I spent some angry years at the whole situation.

At some point, I truly became Indifferent, until now.

As I sit here overwhelmed with sadness, reflection and confusion at what was my biggest failure to date, watching on the news almost play by play The exact Scenario I saw happen on August 16th, 1977 happening again right now with Michael (A sight I never wanted to see again) just as he predicted, I am truly, truly gutted.

Any ill experience or words I have felt towards him in the past has just died inside of me along with him.

He was an amazing person and I am lucky to have gotten as close to him as I did and to have had the many experiences and years that we had together.

I desperately hope that he can be relieved from his pain, pressure and turmoil now.

He deserves to be free from all of that and I hope he is in a better place or will be.

 I also hope that anyone else who feels they have failed to help him can be set free because he hopefully finally is.

   The World is in shock but somehow he knew exactly how his fate would be played out some day more than anyone else knew, and he was right.
 
 
I really needed to say this right now, thanks for listening.

Holy shit.  I was just sitting here wondering what Lisa Marie would have to say about all of this.  The guy was just fascinating.
