31. TMZ, your coverage is the BEST.
Thank you for keeping many of us, somewhat, in the loop.
Kisses to you TMZ.

32. I'm sure it was the cause of death...I am also sure that many people could have stepped in at some point in time if he was really abusing prescription drugs...ESPECIALLY HIS DOCTORS...I guess they saw $$ and could care less....Something is fishy about this whole situation....Dr. Murray stinks....I can smell him in Michigan. 1.) CPR on a bed...using only ONE hand. 2.) He left his practice to tour w/ MJ (maybe he didn't want to deep down. 3.) He was owed $$ from the concerts promoter....Perhaps he thought he'd be losing too much and took it out on MJ...After all MJ HAD a PULSE...took WAY too long for an EMT to be notified.THEN HE RAN..I bet that fool laughed as it all went down...May GOD terrorize his soul...I bet he's thinking he's a Smooth Criminal...

33. To IMO #2.. of course if it was John Smith next door we wouldn't care. John Smith next door wasn't a huge pop icon with an incredible talent. THAT is why we care so much. It's like losing a genious. Its bigger news.

34. Interesting...thought it was 4 to 6 weeks for a tox report? I think it is shoddy reporting like the false autopsy that went around...which by the way TMZ you reported as factual too at first...and STILL have it posted on your site.

Fuel the frenzy....get the ratings.

35. Er...what sources LOL after the autopsy post pardon my doubts. Is the tox screen back?
I think we all agree with 6 script bottles there is a good chance his demise was drug related however you have the Dr. stating he found the man with a pulse not breathing and did not call 911 but proceeded to try and revive a body with a pulse with CPR. Epic fail so although many stars have OD'd many have also been taken into the hospital to have life saving treatment performed instead of a one armed CPR and a little black bag.

38. Michael WAS NOT a CHILD MOLESTER. He was a PROTECTOR and ANGEL of children. Just watch his movie MOONWALKER. Those of you accusing him of being a pedophile are very foolish and naive people

LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE!!!!

40. Perhaps the toxicology reports will reveal the level of drugs in his system, thus how recent they had been administrated?

41. Skank Tosser,

You are a vile human being to say what you did. Sign your real name to that comment or go crawl back under your rock. Disgusting coward who hides behind your computer spewing hatred.

42. You cite NO sources for this claim. Agreed, that is probably the truth, but stop the rampant speculation.

43. It was obviously a drug of some sort that interacted BADLY with something else in his system. I am disgusted by the family. He is their SON, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, whatever. MAKE THE FRIGGIN ARRANGEMENTS already, put your family to rest and STOP trying to schedule, stage, maximize, politicize his passing. They rode his coat tails for SO LONG. Have the dignity for a private, family, funeral - then join the rest of the world in collaborating on appropriate memorial celebrations. JOE is a vulture. WHAT POOR TASTE for he and Janet to appear at BET with Michael somewhere on a slab. The Jews sit shiver for at least 7 days. Get a @$@#$ clue. I'm ashamed of them all. Judgment, people.

44. Another superstar who can't handle life & goes for the escape, DRUGS.. it has happened many times before Michael & will keep on happening until these celebs stop surrounding themselves with yes people & keep true friends & family around them. Michael's family had to know for many years there was a problem, but did anyone do anything to get him help? I doubt it. The poor guy was used by everyone for his money & even his Father acted happy at the BET awards even though he just lost his son.. A very strange family. May he finally have peace in the hands of his real Father in heaven...

45. K guys re-read the statement by TMZ. It never said Dr Conrad Murray gave him anything. It said that he received an injection the day of his death. He may have gotten that shot from another doctor or something.

Although I still believe it could have been Dr Conrad Murray who gave him the injection since he was the last one to see Michael alive that day and he was there when Michael was still trying to hold on to life. But don't quote TMZ saying that Dr. Conrad Murray gave him the injection because they didn't say that!
