Oh geez, I thought since this thread was revived that he wasn't actually dead!  giggle2.gif

I keep hoping, because I'll tell you what... I miss all that coverage his death got. Imagine what coverage we'd get when it comes out he's alive!  I'll be burning up my DVR!

But at least then he wouldn't have gone out as a disappointing parent. I am good on forgiveness unless it affects children and then I am brutal.

So very true, DLL. So very true.   embrace.gif

My dad is at the end of his rope with all the coverage interupting whatever it is he watches. He said "I'm so pissed if the bastard wasn't already dead, I'd shoot him."

But then I thought, wouldn't that just start the whole, viscious cycle of unending coverage all over again?   undecided.gif

The coverage is not dead and probably won't be for a long time. I turned to the tvguide channel yesterday to see what games were on and they were showing a made for tv film "Man In The Mirror" above the channel guide.

Is Michael Jackson still dead?  Or has anyone spotted him with Elvis?  giggle2.gif

When I saw this thread had been revived I thought, "Oh crap! He's not dead anymore."  panic button.gif   Whew. What a relief to see I was wrong.

Alot of people are abused, misunderstood,etc....he was a musical genius and he made very poor decisions about his health and welfare.  I am not a cold hearted person, but I am in the medical profession and have seen what drugs (prescription and illegal) do to people when they are misused.  Anytime you have a drug cocktail consisting of the drugs they found in his body from toxicology reports, it is surely going to do considerable damage internally leading to multi organ failure.  Most of the time, it is the heart that gives out.  But you have to realize that some drugs metabolize through the liver (like alcohol, for example).  When you abuse alcohol over time, eventually you end up with diseases like cirrhosis, liver failure and eventually death of the organ. 

Here are some other names recently affected by drug cocktails that ended up dying:  Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith, Billy Mays....just to name a few.

I don't feel sorry for these people as they were the ones who made the conscious decision to allow these poisons into their body.  Whether it was for chronic pain from illnesses or stress and anxiety from having a demanding schedule, it is still a poor choice made on his/her part. 

Maybe it was wrong to mock and make fun of his death.....but we all have our ways of coping with the world's tragedies. 
hocky, all of those including MJ were parents. That alone should be making a difference in how they take care of the only body we get on this planet.

Isn't it because the family hired this ME? So they could really hire anyone they wanted, right?
This all is coming out of the same place that the doctor had a business before he worked for MJ and I think if this was the L.A. Coroners office this statement would not have come out just on paper. It would have been done with cameras in front of North Mission Rd and some sort of statement about who and what. Just seems like someone put the info out without the usual procedures.

I am wondering why this information came from Houston and not L.A. My son is a Medical Examiner in the state of CA and even they don't get why the news came out from a completely different state.

Isn't it because the family hired this ME? So they could really hire anyone they wanted, right?
