Broke my heart when they kept showing how he looked in the 80's and how he looked recently. So slow and frail, like an old man.

I heard he had needle marks all over his body for painkiller "treatments". They just spouted off a huge list of drugs that he took everyday. Holy crap.

Well... at least the debt might be going away.

#1... all the radio stations are playing his songs... people are buying his music.
#2... he's no longer alive to spend every cent that comes in.

Did anyone REALLY expect that Michael Jackson would, say, live to be 80 and die of natural causes?

It was shocking and sad -- at 50 and considering the guy's genius -- but for the past 10 years or so, it wasn't hard to think of him as being a walking pharmaceutical company. So troubled, so beleagured, so judged. Exactly the kind of celeb who would crave escape in any way he could manage, no?

I think he knew he was never going back on tour.

If you think his life & death have been a circus thus far, just wait 'til the funeral.

I think that's why the family ordered another autopsy. They want to make sure they have all the facts, and I think they will go after his doctors then.
