17. Just wondering...how many people whoe aren't Michael Jackson, given the same age and preenting situation in the E.R., would get worked on to revive for more than on hour? This kind of makes me think, KWIM?

18. Geeze, watching that video...the pain Jermaine is feeling was so evident I was cringing.
I can't imagine having to face all that media, and THE WORLD to announce one of my loved ones had died when I was still trying to process what happened. God bless this family.

21. I would like to comment on the blah, blah, blah that Trevenien posted tonight at 10:11 PM.
I can see you're going to hell, if you're a Christain why are you JUDGING Michael or anyone else for that matter? I am a Christain, I live my life like the Lord would want me to. If this death bothers you so much, why are you watching TV, or reading about it online? I'm sure MILLIONS of people all over the world will agree with me on this. You need to go REPENT ASAP! I know that Michael be in heaven with our Father, where he is loved and will be taken care of. The only one who will be judging him will be our Lord.

I would also like to tell Trevenien how sorry I am that you have to live your life the way you do. It must be hell being you. Judge not lest you be judged.

My prayers go out to Michael's family for losing such wonderful son, father, friend and talented preformer. I will also be praying for you, Trevenien. I see you need tons of prayer.

22. Why didn't the Physician in Michael Jackson's home call the ambulance, instead of trying to revive him for an entire hour.

24. Someon'es not paying attention KEN. It was the docs in the ER who tried to revive Michael, not the personal physician.

25. It's interesting when tragedy occurs some use it to spew off their hatred for the world to see. It's sad to see so many live fueled by such hatred and ignorance.

26. It's interesting to see so many people using this as an opportunity to spew their hatred for the world to see. It's sad to see so many lives fueled hatred and discrimination.

27. This has to be BS--it is common medical knowledge that the lack of oxygen to the brain leads to brain death and unrevivableness (if that's even a word). CPR, even when done correctly, cannot stop this brain-dead state from occurring, just prolong it from happening. And by prolonging it, I mean only til 20 minutes (maybe) after the breathing stops, rather than the usual 2 or 3. No doctor worth their weight in a medical degree is going to sit there with paddles or CPR for "over an hour". They would know it would be futile, and should have had the decency to use that time consoling the family or saving another person's life. This one was NOT going to be saved.

And frankly, after "settling out of court" child molestation charges, and continuing down the path he did, I really do not care that the doctors couldn't save him. If a 12 year old boy (back in 1992) could describe this man's wang in graphic detail in police reports, and then have photographic, strip searched evidence verify all of those statements to be true, well then that kid saw something he shouldn't have. And when money is quickly poured out so that secretive information doesn't lead to jail time, well then something happened that shouldn't have. His music was great. But he was NOT. If he's "moonwalking in heaven" then I'd rather go to hell.

28. I agree with the posting: " # 18. Is that body really him?..Did he really die?....Hmmmm Posted at 10:26PM on Jun 25th 2009 by badicecube"

Makes you wonder--just look at the pictures of him being loaded into the helicopter, then the pictures unloading him looked like there was nothing under the sheet (as seen on CNN, HNN, & Fox News).

And remember who his ex father-in-law was....Elvis. Maybe he & Michael are now hiding out together!!! Look at the similiarities--pressure from being famous, then not as famous anymore, financial problems, reported drug abuse, divorced, Elvis--over-weight problems & Michael--underweight problems, both called "The King"....Think about it!!!!

30. TMZ: don't think your lack of ethics didn't contribute to the stress this man lived with every day.
