197. Right on Tracy! it amazes me people are shocked by this, as Michaael has been crying out for help for sometime and was ignored.He didn't become an addict overnight, and yes..where was the family in all this? It requires intervention and TOUGH love to be of any help to someone in need. Ignoring the problem, denial will always lead to the tragedy of this magnitude.

198. It seems to me the police need to investigate Mickey Fine Pharmacy.If any one has this much prescriptions the pharmacy has a duty to contact the feds so they can determine whether these were legit prescriptions.The family of Michael Jackson might look into suing this pharmacy for neglect.

199. Where was the DEA in all this? I know locally that many pharmacies are investigated if a large amount of narcotics are prescribed. There are records kept. These are top scheduled addictive drugs. Many doctors have been proscuted after investigation for writing bad prescriptions for people. And this was a high profile case with a tremendous amount of narcotics. It would not be hard to prove and prosecute this case. Why did this never come to light with the DEA?

200. tommy ; don't speak ill of the dead? So are we going to rewright the history book and say that Hitler was just misunderstood? Are we going to forgive Manson or Specktor, or Gacy or Bundy? How can you be such a hipocrit? This piece of sh*t needs to rot for eternity like all other trash! He is no diff then any other pedophile. The only diff is that he had some money. Lord help your kids because if someone with money ever abused them.

201. It's a sad commentary on the rock 'n' roll lifestyle that another talented person has joined the likes of John Entwistle, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, and all the others who have died young or destroyed their lives due to the abuse of drugs, alcohol, or both. Whatever the cause -- loneliness, too much money, the influence of nefarious associates, hubris, the pressure of living in a glass house, the pressure to perform, or possibly early psychological damage that made them pursue fame -- the bottom line is that they numbed or jump-started themselves artificially and paid a terrible price. I heard recently that 1/3 of Americans are affected by alcohol abuse. Add drugs to that and the effect on health, wealth, and happiness is staggering. There is no shortcut to inner peace.

203. Most people don't die the way they want to die. Then again, most people don't live the way they want to live.

204. Well, I guess it pays to shop at Sams. He could have gotten his prescriptions for 4 dollars.

207. #199. So where 's the Lupus medications? Where is the evidence that he was suffering from SYSTEMIC lupus? Pls provide it.
And It is not about disrespecting MJ. A man has died!!. Do you want the truth to come out or would you 'd rather block the investigation and keep your rose coloured glasses on? I'd really like to have an answer from you to see what kind of a "fan" you are.
I'm a fan of MJ but geeeesh you fanclubers are unbelievable! Very very iritiating!!!

208. LOL surprise surprise that jackson settled it... honestly is anyone suprised? he was a liar ( about his plastic surgery, relationship with children, drug use, family life) and it doesnt surprise me that he did that... does anyone remember in the martin bashir interview where he literally spends millions on the dumbest looking statues???????? just cause you have a fortune doesnt make you fortunate... and just because you have some obsessed fans doesnt mean that the rest of the world cares

209. I think his doctors should have paid those pharmacy bills, not Michael. They were the ones that pushed and got him those illegal drugs and then charged them to his name so they couldn't be traced back to them? Don't doctors have to put a name on the prescription? If these drugs were illegal and Michael wasn't supposed to have them in a home setting, the doctors that got them illegally would have to pay, wouldn't they?
