62. Second Autopsy. Seems like their is some major questions and hidden details. He may have orchestrated his disapperence. Faked his death to escape his massive amount of death and lifes burden. We never ever heard that he had heart problems and they would not have given him insurance for his toyur ., due to the strain. Also if he new he had heart problems than why would he try to stress himself out doing all the 50 shows. No one really did see mj before the hospital no photos or anything. seemed like if someone was dying or dead they would rush to the scene and fly out to the hospital. Especially knowing that this was michael jackson when they arrived. Now also the 911 tape they never even mentioned that it was mj?why not they mentioned that it was anna nicole when she died.His brother came out and made the announcment did not look to upset .This was his brother! something is not jiving here. 99 % of the time the doctors would make the announcement of the death not the family members. They would be so overcome that they could not speak to anyone. they are just buying time here to plan the next move .Now mj supposedly died in his house that is what the paremedics say. Also one site said the at the 2 paramedics say that the whole feeling in the house was not right and that the person supposedly they were looking at did not look like mj and that the person had recent plastic surgery. Did not look like any recent photos they had seen of him. well then it would be a crime scene regardless of this just being a death Com on this was MICHAEL JACKSON ! they would traet it as a crime scene and investigate this for a couple of days. Today they have the moving vans at the house moving his things out! This is strange don't you think .People just read between the lines.If he did pass then rest in peace but in my opinion . He pulled off an Elvis tactic to get his life back. He his in seclusion for decades. It would make no diffrence if he had disappeared to live quietly. his family would run his buissness an handle his money and supply it with him. Remember money is power !!. Anyone can be bought.If you dont think so then you are ignorant.

64. So the Jacksons once again will try and stay in that blissful state of denial of what this man not only what this man was put through in his life but what he also put himself through in life. Another opinion cannot candle coat what killed him unless of course BIG MONEY is involved. The Rich and Famous, shameful. The why, when, etc. will never be "known" until the Jackson family comes out of their denial. What a joke.

BTW Andrea - you on the same drugs Mr. Jackson was on? Good grief.

He was a gifted man - fact. He did not change the world - fact. He was a human - fact. He was a lonely and troubled man - fact. All others who go on and on and on about his "greatness" are deluded. His death only speaks of the life he had for the most part - lonely and tragic. Sad indeed. He rests now from those who hurt him and those he hurt.

RIP - he will.

65. Though I never was a huge fan I too believe that this molestation crap was not real, I mean look at his up bringing with all he had to endevor from age 6... Do people ever stop to think that if they could be a kid again they would? this man could and oh by the way he has a huge soft spot for kids.... and can make him have the happiness he has and he never had growing up, I love kids, I wish I could do what he did for them does that make me a monster too? (btw I'm married for 15 years with 2 kids of my own, so piss up another tree) everyone says he was a monster, good chance he was not and the losers that saw him as a piggy bank were.

Now for the 2nd autopsy... The family is right on having it done, I mean really don't you think the 1st guy may have been just a bit under pressure? half the world was waiting outside his doors to find out whats going on......

So I say good for the family for thinking on the right track, don't let this divide you but keep you united, it's a huge loss for us but it happened, you can't change it now it's time to focus on the most important thing....THE KIDS, lets remember they have lost a FATHER...

66. SKY NEWS: Isnt it great, Kay Burley from sky news flies to the usa, interviews people at the house "Why are you here", err, because MJ is dead, my question, WHY R U THERE, you are not a reporter you are a newsreader, thats it, your crap at your job, go and interview Diana Ross and ask her why she aint said anything about the death of MJ, Wait till Madonna goes, she'll be remembered for taking kids away from their families, oh but shes giving them a great life you scream, oh really, you tell that to a 10 year old when madonna has arthrisits and is going senile.

Ask ANY of her ex husbands how much happiness she brought them!! No didnt think so!!

67. Ten bucks says Dr. Michael Baden will perform the second autopsy, who for a fee will tell the family what he thinks they want to hear. This is the same Dr. who insisted on performing a 'pap smear' on a job applicant interviewing for a job as his personal assistant! Thankfully, she declined both the job and the 'pap smear'.

69. #12.

This is my second attempt to post--not sure why posts aren't going through. It is surprising that no one has followed up on this story. Jordan Chandler, the alleged victim, sued his father in 2006 for severe abuse. In fact, he claims his father, the man who instigated the original molestation charge against Jackson, tried to kill him. I have no idea whether or not Jackson was a pedophile, but it seems like the extreme dysfunction in the accuser's family is certainly relevant. Jordan Chandler is now claiming the whole thing was a hoax. I feel bad for him--he got emotionally screwed no matter how you look at it. Seems like he might be at risk now, from feeling extraordinary guilt if he truly made false accusations.

It is weird that no one has covered this story. There certainly have been enough people willing to assume the worst and give the alleged victim the benefit of the doubt.

70. MJ hair was burnt yrs ago making that commercial. He rocovered from that. Stop the excuses already. There is no reason why this man had to continue his drug use and not pay his large pharmacy bill of over 10 grand either. He was high all the time around those kids he purchased. Shame on him. Stupid to think he woudn't die but that is the typical thinking of a drug addict.

71. Chalkoutline: This is exactly what I was thinking. And keep Dr. Lawrence Kobelinski off TV, CNN! We don't care what he has to say after talking about the pizza in the trunk. There was NO pizza, only a box.

74. Lets face it Micheal was a genius,a talent apart & also a person, I find it really sad that his circumstances drove him to this. Can you imagine how desparate he must have been at times in his life to come to this~ i personnally am so sad & I was never a keen fan,just an admirer from a distance.Rest in peace Michael x
