Michael Jackson's Body -- Hold the Plastic

While it may seem like the kind of thing Michael Jackson would do, reports that the late singer made plans to have himself "plastinated" and put on display are exaggerated.

Michael  Jackson

The director of publicity for Dr. Gunther von Hagens tells TMZ someone claiming to be from Jackson's management team did contact BODY WORLDS several months ago about Jackson's interest in being preserved in plastic.

But, she says, "We can further confirm that Mr. Jackson is not now a registered body donor in the Institute for Plastination's Body Donation Program."

31. who were the men surrounding michael jackson anyways and who got the no show insurance AEG and they sent the good dr to michaels house for what? Surely AEG had updates on his health and decided to what? because a no show was too costly... think about that one guys...

33. THERE IS TOO MUCH BEING MADE BY FAKE PHONEY PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO LIKE, LOVE, ADMIRE JACKO. THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WHO WASHED THEIR HANDS OF HIM AFTER HIS BOOTY PARTIES WITH LITTLE BOYS. NOW EVERYONE WANTS TO WASH THE MEMORIES OF THOSE EVENTS AWAY AND SAY HOW GREAT HE WAS. YOU SHOUL HAVE SAID THAT TO HIM WHILE HE WAS AROUND HE CAN'T HEAR THEM NOW. HE LEFT THE US BECAUSE HE WAS WASHED OUT. ALBUMS SELLS SUCKED AND HIS CAREER WAS FINISHED. HE LEFT SHAMED AND MEDICATED HIS PAIN. HE WAS A SICK, SICK MAN. HE NEEDED HELP BUT SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH ENABLERS. THIS GOES BACK TO HIS CHILDHOOD. THEY ALLOWED HIM TO DO WHATEVER HE WANTED, MONKIES, SNAKES, WHATEVER, MJ JUST BRING IN THE MONEY. HELP US LIVE THE LIFE OF LUXURY. WHEN THEY SOUNDED OFF ON HIM AT THE FIRST HINT OF PLASTIC SURGERY TO TURN WHITE HE THREATEN TO CUT THEM OFF. THEY LEFT HIM ALONE AND GOT NOSE JOBS ALSO. THEY KNEW ABOUT THE MEDS BUT COULDN'T DO ANYTHING AS HE SHUT HIMSELF OFF FROM ANYONE WHO WANTED TO HELP HIM. THE VULTURE DR.S SUCKED HIM DRY, GOT PAID ON THE LEGAL/ILLEGAL PRESCRIBE MED HUSTLE. IF YOU DENIED HIM HE WOULD FIRE YOU, SCREAM AT YOU. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE WHO WOULD TELL MJ I'LL GIVE WHAT YOU WANT YOU SPOILED DRUGGIE. SEE THE MESS FOR WHAT IT IS. LEARN A LESSON. NO HUMAN IS ABOVE FAILURE. THIS IS ON MJ AND THOSE WHO TURNED THE OTHER WAY.

36. whether you agree with this or not, one day, we shall all stand before the white judgement throne and be judged, why not leave this man alone and less talk about future, how u can affect your community positively and improve lives. Lots of millions are out there looking for help, stop all these awful comments and concentrate on soul winning.

Before you go ranting off about how much you think you know, just becasue you hear it from another source, do a little research and educate yourself with the facts first!!!!!

Michal had Lupus, and he was in fact very sick, no longer in remission. (This would be a reason for his taking the drugs he needed for his chronic pain.) Chronic pain. Pain that goes from bad to worse to unbearable. Pain that lives with you every day of your life, never ceasing, not even long enough to get a night's sleep, is one of the worst things about having lupus.

Michael Jackson also had a gene disease that caused his skin to have white blotches (Vitiligo) . In 1993 Michael Jackson revealed on the Oprah show that his skin had turned white due to vitiligo and he had to depigment the skin to even out his skin color. He dismissed the allegations that he had bleached his skin to ‘become white’. In 1994, Michael Jackson’s dermatologist Dr.Arnold Klein testified that MJ was diagnosed with vitiligo and lupus in 1984. Though lupus erythematosus is potentially a lethal disease, luckily it was in remission in Michael. Both discoid lupus erythematosus and vitiligo can produce loss of pigmentation in the skin.
