LAPD Treating Jackson Death as Homicide
www.tmz.com Posted Jul 15th 2009 2:00AM by TMZ Staff Multiple law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD is already treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide, and they are focusing on Dr. Conrad Murray.
LAPD Treating Jackson Death as Homicide Law enforcement sources tell us the evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death. As we first reported, vials of Propofol were found in Jackson's home after he died. Law enforcement sources say there is already "plenty of powerful evidence" linking Dr. Murray as the person who administered the drug to Jackson. The evidence includes various items found in Jackson's house, including the Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank. Dr. Murray's lawyer would neither confirm nor deny if his client administered the Propofol. And we've learned the LAPD has had "multiple conversations" with the L.A. County District Attorney's office, although the case has not been formally presented to the D.A. | |

WTF, now Michael supposedly has a secret child just like the press said Janet had a secret Kid  ???
http://www.theinsider.com...cret_child According to The Enquirer the late King of Pop had a secret biological child who now is 24 and lives in Oslo, Norway.
Omer Bhatti met Jackson in 1996 during the HIStory world tour. They became close friends and Omer spent quite a lot of time in Jackson’s Neverland when he was younger. Jackson moved him to the ranch in 1997 and the boy ended up living on and off with the singer for the next few years and even appeared on stage with him. According to the source, the boy was conceived in a one-night stand between Jackson and a Norwegian fan. Omer was devastated by Michael’s death and even refused to talk to the press about it. However, the young man is determined to have a DNA test to find out if Michael is really his biological farther. The Enquirer quotes the source as saying Omer is not interested in Michael’s millions, all he really wants is to know the truth. Sounds great and really touching. But is the man as sincere as he wants to seem? [Edited 7/15/09 8:02am] [Edited 7/15/09 8:03am] | |

And the kid looks like post-surgery Michael and only a tad at that, so eveyone knew it was false and if it wasnt true then, its no way in hell true now. | |

Michael Jackson could have been gay! Fans would rather be pistol- whipped than to say Michael was gay or even bi. It's not a bad thing "It is what it is"! I have no problem believing he was Bi-sexual. Yes, just so long as he's not gay, huh?

Only an idiot would still believe that nonsense. Sex is a core component of his work, and the discovery of porn in his house should really have buried that fiction once and for all. I can understand why people cling to the theory though. It means they don't have to face the more uncomfortable possibilities. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Maybe that wasn't for him but a tool to use on others. [Edited 7/14/09 13:25pm] Exactly. It's called.... grooming. MJ fans should look it up. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

Cops Deny Dubbing Jackson Death a Homicide
TMZ.com Says Their Probe Is Homicide Investigation and Superstar's Cardiologist Is at Center of It (CBS) Los Angeles police are denying a Web site's report that they're treating Michael Jackson's death as a homicide. Celebrity Web site TMZ.com, which cited "multiple law enforcement sources" in saying the investigation is indeed now is a homicide probe, also says the pop icon's cardiologist is the focus of that probe. But Police Officer Sara Faden, speaking on behalf of the Los Angeles Police Department, tells CBS News the investigation hasn’t turned into a homicide probe at this point. She adds she doesn’t know where TMZ is getting that information. The official autopsy results aren't due out until at least next week, "Early Show" national correspondent Hattie Kauffman pointed out Wednesday, but TMZ says, "The evidence points to the anesthesia Propofol as the primary cause of Jackson's death. As we first reported, vials of Propofol were found in Jackson's home after he died. Jackson's home after he died." "Law enforcement sources say there is already 'plenty of powerful evidence' linking Dr. Murray as the person who administered the drug to Jackson," TMZ continued, including "various items found in Jackson's house, including the Propofol, an IV stand and oxygen tank." TMZ adds that "police have already talked to the L.A. district attorney's office about possible homicide charges." Neither the LAPD nor Dr. Murray has commented on the TMZ report. Both Latoya Jackson, Michael's sister, and his father, Joe Jackson, have said they suspect Jackson was a victim of foul play. Murray isn't the only doctor under scrutiny, Kauffman notes. A coroner's official served a subpoena on the office of Dr. Arnold Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist who treated Jackson for years and was a close friend. Complete coverage of Jackson's life and death "I mean," TMZ's Harvey Levin told CBS News, he's cooperating now. ... The coroner was frustrated, because he had asked Arnie Klein to ante up Michael Jackson's medical records, and then said, 'Where are they'? And never got a return call, and that's why the assistant coroner went out (to Klein's office)." The federal Drug Enforcement Administration the manufacturer of Propofol for a specific batch of the medication, as part of the DEA's probe, Kauffman notes. Another Jackson sibling, Tito Jackson, has told a British newspaper the family tried to stage an intervention on Michael's drug use, but was turned away by Jackson's handlers. Also, in the possible custody battle over Jackson's three kids, lawyers for Debbie Rowe, who gave birth to two of them, are demanding the New York Post retract its report that she's agreed to give up parental rights in exchange for $4 million. But, Kauffman says, attorneys for Rowe and Jackson's mother, Katherine Jackson, are still talking privately, in advance of Monday's scheduled custody hearing. © MMIX, CBS Interactive Inc.

Swa said: Michael Jackson Wasn't the Only Black Man "Turning White"
By Eddie B. Allen Jr. Insensitive comments about the condition that has affected him for 16 years hit Lee Thomas way beyond skin deep. So the Emmy-winning Fox TV reporter and author of the book "Turning White: A Memoir of Change," who struggles with vitiligo, is even more outspoken since singer Michael Jackson's death. The same skin condition that Jackson first told the public he endured in a 1993 interview with Oprah Winfrey has gradually turned Thomas' rich, brown complexion into a pattern of bright splotches on various parts of his body. A debate about vitiligo and its effects has been re-ignited in the wake of Jackson's passing and media focusing on his non-Black children. "Everywhere, I get that question: Do you really think that he had vitiligo?" says Thomas, who publicly speaks about the disease between covering entertainment news on a weekday morning show. "In his death, hopefully more people will understand that yes, he had a disease that turned his skin white." Over 5 million Google hits registered from a Web search of the word "vitiligo" barely 48 hours after Jackson's televised funeral. About 1 percent of the world's population suffers from the condition, which has an undetermined cause and affects all races, including Whites. Vitiligo attacks pigment and breaks down the skin's natural color. Curiosity about the condition is understandable, says Thomas, but he adds that skepticism and ignorance can be hurtful. He recently challenged Jackson's legendary friend Quincy Jones after Jones dismissed Jackson's previous statements that he was a "proud Black American," saying Jackson wanted to be White. A statement from Thomas released through his publicist read in part: "I respect everything that Quincy Jones has done as an entertainer and producer, but I am very disappointed that a man so accomplished couldn't look up the disease or, even better, take his friend’s word. I have this disease and the reality of it is, I am turning White, and believe me, that is not by choice.” Apart from a revealing, personal segment that discussed his battle with viewers of his home station in Detroit, Thomas has appeared on major TV shows including "20/20" and "Larry King Live." Before going on-air each day, he undergoes an extensive makeup process to cover the areas of his face and neck that have been discolored. He says that various medical treatments have had no lasting effect. But Thomas joined other sufferers of the disease who've put the question of genetics in doubt when he had a daughter last year, who shows no symptoms. Suggestions that Jackson never had vitiligo because his skin was uniformly light, rather than splotched, aren't necessarily so, Thomas says; in fact, it's been reported that Jackson's famous glove was first worn to cover discoloring on his hand. "There are a lot of people outside of Michael Jackson, who have (turned uniformly lighter)," Thomas says. "You probably saw someone who had really light skin and just never knew it." But the various manifestations of vitiligo are less important than how its sufferers are received and perceived, Thomas says. Dates of his speaking engagements and discussions on the topic are posted at the Web site www.turningwhite.com. "I hope that, by continuing to talk about it," Thomas says, "with conversation comes understanding, with understanding comes compassion." source: http://www.bet.com/News/N...CBE0269%7D [Edited 7/15/09 5:40am] let the church say amen. i agree with moz. back in the day, it was pretty commonplace to get spanked or get 'beat' or threatened with such. i can still remember the 70s when corporal punishment in school was also common across the board, not just for black people. moreover, let's not forget that whatever their ups and downs, mj had come to realize that joe was only doing what he thought he had to do. he gave a really moving speech around 2000 at oxford univ. that addressed the topic. add to it, that in his rebuttal footage to bashir's hit-piece he showed his complete quote about having been afraid of joe, etc. *but* he also said that it is possible that he wouldn't be where he was without his father, which bashir cut out in his edit. | |

Marrk said: SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said: So you think MJ was murdered? Not exactly, manslaughter is what i'm leaning towards, it'd be very easy for a major corporation to get a quack to take major $'s and administer more than Mike either 'wanted' or 'needed', then feign ignorance as to where he was address-wise despite being one street up from Sunset Boulevard. not able to get a phone in the house?, a doc with no mobile phone? Administer CPR on a bed rather than a hard surface?, this quack was supposed to be a cardioligist! the guy who answered the 911 call told the caller to move him to the floor, but the tape doesn't suggest that was done immediately either, the amount of time from the call, to the official time of death, despite living only about 6 miles away from the Reagan Hospital was nearly two hours! Why did it take half an hour to call 911 in the first place?
Something fishy and dark happened i think. [Edited 7/14/09 18:45pm] Well I think full investigations of everyone who participated in his "health care" or in dealing with health issues need to be investigated to the max. Michael was enabled by someone. Probably a doctor. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |
