1. I hope Michael had a Will and his stuff in order in case this happened. I can see it getting ugly if he didn't . I feel bad for his children too.

:(

3. First Ed McMahon, then Farrah, now Michael Jackson. This hasn't been a good week at all. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

8. His health was so poor that there was nothing that could be done. You can't revive a body when that body has no strength. It's obvious his people were with him right when they needed to be. Trying to revive someone for an hour is a formality-death occurs quickly when someone is this weak. Even TMZ reported he was often hours late and lethargic for rehearsals. His death had been in the works for years.

Thankfully he's stone cold broke and millions of dollars in debt. That's good news because that means douchebags like La Toya won't see any of that money. Quite a silver lining if you ask me.

9. Harvey ---You and your crew have done an excellent job covering this sad, but remarkable story. I wish you would cover more important and relevant celebrity news (I don't mean deaths) in the future than the often inane, tabloid-inspired crap you often do. Harvey Levin --I attended the O.J. trial several times with you and heard your reporting. You're a very savvy, smart guy --I just wish you'd up the standards of TMZ. Thanks.

10. I find it VERY odd that a doctor was with him at the time of the cardiac arrest. I bet $$$$$ it was a drug overdose...

11. Deputy Chief Brenda Lee Johnson will conduct the investigation. Than You.

13. jermaine has always been full of it... michael was not breathing when the paramedics arrived and was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital. this may have had something to do with it:

An Emergency Room source at UCLA hospital said Jackson aides told medics he had collapsed after an injection of potent Demerol — similar to morphine.

A Jacko source said: “Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing.

“His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.
