From the first video, why would MJ go to a medical centre to plan his disappearance? Wouldn't it be easier to make the plans at home?
From the second video, if you think he was too unhealthy to complete a world tour, isn't it reasonable to believe he could have died?

Conspiracy theorists are so predictable. I knew people would be saying he wasn't really dead before his death was even officially confirmed.
He didn't exactly have the face of someone who could just blend into a crowd, so he would have to live the rest of his life in hiding. What would be the point? To avoid paying debts? All he did was pass his burden on to his heirs.

"But are the kids showen to the public really MJ's?" Nice spelling.  |

MJ didn't die - like Elvis he just went home. Didn't we all see that he was an alien in the movie "Men in Black"?

On the way to lunch just a few minutes ago, I was making up a hoax about a faked death to post here as a lark. You beat me to it. Guess I'll have to go elsewhere. I personally think MJ faked it so he could live with Ben the rat.

Yeah, it's not like he'd ever resort to anything like, y'know, cosmetic surgery.  Besides, I heard passing mention on the radio of a contradictory theory, that not only is Jacko actually dead, but that he had actually died weeks before the official announcement, and that it was covered up in order to maintain ticket sales for his comeback tour. |

All of the surgeries he had didn't leave much to work with. Yeah, I heard that one too. Wouldn't the money from ticket sales have to be refunded? And why didn't they ask the same people responsible for the fake Paul McCartney to arrange for a Michael Jackson replacement?  |

Did his face deteriorate from the skin disease he had or was it the result of cosmetic surgery trying, and failing, to sucessfully fight the disease? It looks like he got on a treadmill of more surgery to fix the last botchup but it just ended up worse. Maybe the surgeons kept making him promises and he kept hoping for the gold face at the end of the rainbow surgery which never eventuated, or going through a dark tunnel which promised light at the end but it just got darker.
BTW, when did this treadmill start? He meets Paul McCartney and suddenly goes plastic surgery mad. Why?

So it's Paul McCartney's fault?
The skin disease he said he had would not have caused the facial effects. I've known people who had it, and it just makes your skin blotchy.

I have it and it only effects pigmentation (though I do have to admit that it would be more noticeable on darker skin). |

I've heard his plastic surgery addiction (and the addiction to painkillers) began after his hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. I believe he had an irrational dissatisfaction with his own appearance that no amount of surgery would ever fix. I imagine it's similar to anorexia. |

Speaking of Michael Jackson, I came across an item on the BBC website: Jackson foul play 'not ruled out' . I haven't really been paying that much attention to the media circus surrounding his passing (yeah, he's dead Lazarusty) and recall reading earlier that the Jackson family questioned the circumstances of his death from the git-go (or is it get-go?) so I don't know if this is anything really new. I was under the impression there was no foul play and was kinda surprised to see this angle still kicking around. |

He was a cult figure, and his family is about as crazy as he was, so of course there is suspicion about the circumstances of his death. It sometimes seems like the poor man's whole life was one long chain of abuses - both being abused and abusing.
