46. I guess this is tragic for his fans. I hear that they closed UCLA hospital entrances off when he came in. I hope there were no "ordinary" people who were needing emergency services at the time.

Believe me that there is no way any regular person would be worked on for over an hour in the ER if they came in pulseless and unresponsive after. having been unresponsive to treatment for 30 minutes prior to that. Most people might get 10-20 minutes at most. If there is no response after that, they stop efforts. But then we all know that wacky celebs are more worth trying to save than the rest of us.

Believe me, Farrah Fawcett's death was far more tragic.

47. The loss of the greatest entertainer in the history of mankind HAS LEFT A HOLE AT THE SIZE OF THE HIMALAYA IN MY HEART. For me he was more than JUST THE GREATEST SINGER. He was my idol, he was a role model, he was someone to cry to when my childhood was unbearable, he was my brother, he was my dear friend.
MY EYES ARE SWOLLEN BECAUSE I CRIED SO MUCH.

50. I do not find this a tragedy. Tragedy is Farah Fawcett's death, a woman who fought cancer and wanted to live, and lost the battle. Michael's sudden death is sad and pathetic, but not tragic. He lived the lifestyle he chose to live. If there was too much "stress" in being a celebrity, he could ahve given it all up and lived like a regular person.He had the resources to get himself the help he needed if he wanted it.

They spent over an hour in the ER trying to revive him. I guarantee that if any regular person had come in in that condition, they would ahve gotten about 10 minutes or so.

55. You sick vultures. You Tm Z no talents are worse than rats digging in the garbage. Give a grieving family a little respect, dignity, and privacy. I'll buy you a dictionary if those words are foreign to you.

56. First of all something that needs to be said is that, no matter what micheal's past may have been, the man just died! i truly believe that all the negative info about his past and the rumors of molesting children is over with and should not be discussed anymore or at least for this moment of tragedy. It's enough. Please have some respect for the dead.

59. Danny Ganns, Heath Ledger, and now Michael Jackson, all on pain medication and psychiatric drugs. I bet you the cause of death for Michael Jackson is the same as these celebrities. It is so unfortunate as Brian Oxman said, " He will not be quiet about, when he finds out the cause of death about these so called enablers. I think that it is pretty obvious. Michael Jackson has the number one spot on donations to charities, and is a true humanitarian. His contributions to society are above and beyond the normal of any group member or mankind. He was for peace & love, and has a true heart of gold. I wish you well always Michael. May you find peace for yourself and freedom forever. My family will miss you and we love you very much. Love, Mrs. Merrill P.S. We send you our spiritual love, from one to another.
