Michael Jackson dies. Natural, suicide, or murder?
Posted by free iPhone on Friday Jun 26, 2009 Under music
On June 25, 2009, Jackson collapsed at a rented home in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. Attempts at resuscitating him by his personal physician were unsuccessful.
Resuscitation efforts continued both en route to the UCLA Medical Center, and for an hour further after arriving at approximately 1:14 pm (20:14 UTC). He was noted to have already been in cardiac arrest by the paramedics who attended his house. Jackson was announced dead at about 2:26 pm local time (21:26 UTC). Many news organizations were generally very cautious about the initial reports of his death.

The cause of death has not yet been determined. The case was transferred to the Los Angeles County Coroner for investigation. There has been speculation that Michael Jackson committed suicide, was murdered, accidentily overdosed on painkiller medication, or just suffered a tragic cardiac arrest from stress/illness.
The autopsy was scheduled for Friday, June 26, 2009. A final verdict on Michael Jackson’s autopsy will only be possible after the toxicology test results are confirmed.
In the hours following Jackson’s death, his record sales increased dramatically. His album Thriller climbed to number one on the American iTunes music chart, while another eight have made it into the top 40. In the UK, where Jackson would have performed in less than three weeks, his albums occupied 14 of the top 20 places on the Amazon.co.uk sales chart with Off The Wall topping the chart. Nine of his albums were featured on the American iTunes Top 10 chart, including Thriller, Bad, Dangerous, and 3 compilations. In the UK iTunes store on June 26, thirty-nine of Jackson’s songs were in the Top 100 best selling songs list, in addition to four Jackson 5 songs. Eight of his albums took over the top ten downloaded albums and the top 5 video downloads were all Michael Jackson videos. Along with this he also entered into the top top ten single downloads with “Man in the Mirror”.
Less than four months before Jackson’s death one of his biographers, Ian Halperin, revealed that Jackson had a secret library of over 100 unreleased songs which he planned to release after his death to support his children.
RIP Michael Jackson, a tragic loss of a genius.

I think he died under suspicious circumstances but I wouldn’t say that it is likely he was murdered. However, I get the feeling that he was probably on drugs or overdosing on pain killers.
Still, awesome talent and I hope he’s remembered for his music.

There’s always a scandal of some sort surrounding a famous death. I think it was natural, he had a history of health problem, not to mention all the surgery he went through.

According to the breaking statement of his brother Jermaine Jackson, Michael Jackson was about to announce his conversion to Islam clearly in his last music tour in London O2, such massive star as MJ could make a huge impact all over the world talking about beauty of his new religion Islam, and off course this would upset those NWO Zionists who tried to destroy the image of Islam recently attaching the 911 attacks on Muslims, though every single evidence showed us that 911 was an inside job, so they sadly murdered Michael Jackson, as they did with every loving soul on this planet, as MJ songs were calling upon peace and love, which reminds me of Bob Marley, time will
reveal that MJ’s death was nothing but assassination, since i heard about MJ’s conversion to Islam i became very interested in this great loving and peaceful religion.
R.I.P Michael and thank you.

LOS ANGELES – A judge said Monday that Michael Jackson’s longtime attorney and a family friend should take over the pop singer’s estate for now, rejecting a request from Jackson’s mother to be put in charge.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mitchell Beckloff backed attorney John Branca and music executive John McClain, who had been designated in Jackson’s 2002 will as the people he wanted to administer his estate. Attorneys for the pop singer’s mother repeatedly objected to their appointment at Monday’s court hearing.
Levitch told Beckloff that Branca had previously been removed from financial positions of authority by Jackson. Branca’s attorney says he was rehired by Jackson on June 17, days before Jackson’s death.
My gut feeling is telling me that his lawyer and the doctor and a few others is behind his murder. The lawyer is hired back by Michael after being fired by Michael, 7 days before his death, and now he gets Michael estate worth 500 mil. Wow they can all split up the prize money.
I knoe for a fact that there has been a plot to kill him since 1992, that is why they tried to set him up on those fake charges. I know because I know the lawyers and some of the people behind the plot! it was made public and they were all busted for oing it and had to pay Michael Jackson money. Michael sued them all and won. In fact one of the people involved in setting Michael up was a real pedophile and was caught with child pornography and videos. It is deeper then people know and the truthg will come out. This is one time that these wicket people in power will not get away with their murders for money. The Beatle Catalog now belong to his family, what next? Kill his family?

You’re not the only one with suspicions. I’ve allready figured the whole thing out and could probably try the case myself if I was a lawyer.

hmm some interesting skepticism here.

It is interesting to see that nothing has been released yet over his cause of death. I don’t understand why this could be so hard to figure out. I think it probably is because they don’t want something released to the public.

I believe Frank Dileo (manager) and John Branca (lawyer) Hired Dr. Murray to give Michael Jackson an overdose and kill him in order to gain controll of Michael’s estate and Publishing including Michael’s songs, and The Beatles catalog which John Branca helped Michael Jackson purchase.
Here’s why I believe what I do.
Quote from Dileo in 1988 after being fired by Michael Jackson
“I have a strong belief in what comes around goes around. It’s called Karma, and I hope Michael understands what that means. If he doesn’t now, one day he will.”
I also think it was Dileo who manipulated Michael into feeling he needed Doctor murray around. the bit about Michael telling the AEG guy about his body being like a machine sounds like a line Dileo probably used in convincing Michael he should have this doctor around.
here’s another Quote from Dileo-
“You can’t just ask Michael straight out to do something,” “Michael needs to be stroked. His ego needs to be massaged thoroughly before he’ll do anything.”
John Branca tried to convince Michael Jackson to share equity in his publishing in 1990. Michael fired him shortly aftarward, but mysteriously, he pops up apparently hired back a week before Michael Jackson died, and shows up two days after his with a will naming him as an executor of the estate which now puts him in controll of not only Michael’s publishing, but the beatles catalog Branca helped Michael purchase. oh yeah, I can tell you who had a copy of the Pepsi fire and probably relesed it to US weekly…Branca’s people swiped the tape in the midst of the confusion in 1984 when it happened. They’re promoting the of Michael Jackson in order to sell records. it’s sick. the fans are basically giving money to the people that killed their idol. But also, I believe it goes back even further than that with Frank Dileo. Dileo is the guy who sold the Tabloids crazy stories about Michael Jackson in the eighties, like the Hyperbaric chamber story, and stories about him comunicating with Bubbles the chimp in chimp language, and stories about a shrine to Elizabeth Taylor and that heasked Elizabeth taylor to marry him. It was Dileo who originally crafted this Idea in the press that Michael was some kind of freak. I think after he was fired he had a grudge against Michael and kept an eye on what was going on in Michael’s life looking for either a way back into his circle, or a way to get revenge. I think he waited for Michael to off other people, like say, former employees and even say the father of the boy from 1993 I think he masterminded the whole pedephelia thing. The guy had the inventiveness. This is a guy who wanted to be a politician at one time, surely he would be capable of creating a kind of smear campaign against Michael Jackson. Here’s an exerpt of a recorded conversation between the father of the 1993 boy’s father, and stepfather. This is the father speaking. This can be found inn a book called Redemption, by Geraldine Hughes- “I’m prepared to move against Michael Jackson. It’s allready set. There are people involved that are waiting for my phone call that are in certain positions. I’ve paid them to do it. Everything’s going according to a certain plan that isn’t just mine. Once I make that phone call, this guy is going to destroy everybody in sight in any devious, , cruel way that he can do it. And I’ve given him full authority to do that.” Whoever this person is that the father is referring to probably had proximity to Michael Jackson, and the ability to controll people in Michael Jackson’s world. If Frank Dileo was responsible, it would explain why so many former employees gave interviews saying they saw michael jackson do things with children.

According to what I read, he was battling insomnia and he hasn’t slept properly for many days. He was desperate to get a good night sleep and had recourse to sleeping pills which he got an overdose that night. But his death is definitely under suspicious circumstances I would say. It’s really a tragedy as he still had so much to offer in music. He was truly a remarkable talent and will be remembered by millions.
