Michael Jackson has been gone for over a year. But he remains one of the top names in the news.
MICHAEL IS RICHEST DECEASED CELEBRITY:
Michael Jackson may have had his share of money woes while he was alive. But in death, his finances have seen nothing but smooth sailing.
According to Forbes magazine, Michael Jackson is by far the richest dead celebrity, with an estimated income of more than $275 million over the past 12 months. This certainly plays directly into the hands of conspiracy theorists, who believe Jackson staged his own death for this very financial survival.
JACKSON AUTOPSY SHOW CANCELLED:
The Discovery Channel had originally planned to air a behind-the-scenes sort of “reenactment” of the Michael Jackson autopsy, entitled Michael Jackson’s Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson. They even promoted the show with ads depicting a body covered by a white sheet, with one hand wearing the singer’s trademark sequined glove visible.
But after a hurricane of backlash from Jackson fans who felt it was in poor taste, as well as a cease and desist order from Jackson estate executors John Branca and John McClain, the show was halted.
JACKSON DOCTOR ON TRIAL:
Michael Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with the singer during his last hours on earth, is currently in pre-trial for his role in the singer’s death. But 2 surprising elements discovered in the pre-trial are: Dr. Murray did not know how to perform CPR and had to ask for help from Jackson’s security guards; and the path defense attorney’s are moving forward with to exonerate Murray of any responsibility.
Attorney’s are intending to prove that Dr. Murray did not administer the lethal dose of propofol that killed Jackson. Instead, they will say Jackson administered the sedative himself, effectively committing suicide. Hmmm…
