Michael Jackson

I just received a CNN breaking news bulletin that Michael Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest?  I need to investigate further - but thought I'd let you all know about it.

Hearing about the over-medication just makes his life and death all the sadder.  I never was a fan of his; I always felt sorry for him.  The poster who called him a tortured soul said it best.  Poor, poor Michael.  He was searching for something to "make it all better", and doctors gave him drugs.  THAT is tragic.

Sad...so sad. What I don't understand is what these doctors are thinking prescribing all these meds to these celebrities. They should be held responsible. Yes, I saw the attorney speaking about this and he said he'd been warning the family for years that Michael was being overmedicated. Why did no one take this seriously?

I heard on FOX today that he was taking a lot of prescription drugs and 2 days ago had a shot of Demoral, it sounds like he was on a lot of stuff pretty much like Elvis was, his attorney was on TV and said he wasnt pointing the finger..Yet.smacks of the Anna Nichol story..

No, it's true. There was no secret about his many surgeries to whiten his skin, change his nose, mouth, eyes, etc. It's a shame he felt the need to do that. I actually thought he was a good looking black man. He no longer looked black, or white for that matter, either.
I watched a little of the special on him last night and was a bit fascinated. He seemed so childlike. It was almost endearing. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone quite like him. He did talk about the child molestation charges (taped from a show a few years ago) and it truly did seem that he just loved children being around him, perhaps because he could relate to them and wanted to be a child himself. He said looking on the face of a child was like looking on the face of God. I personally don't think he did molest any children but I do think he put himself in awkward positions that was hard for people to understand. But then, there's no on quite like Michael, either, probably never will be. He's a one of a kind, that's for sure.
Yes, he had his problems but don't forget, he was raised on the stage from the age of 5 years old. I don't think he knew how to deal with the outside world. He seemed like such a delicate spirit. Maybe that's why he withdrew more and more, to protect himself from the cruelties of the world and people, hence the Neverland and all the animals and children he'd bring to visit them. Children and animals were probably all he could trust and relate to, other than the few close people in his life.
He certainly led a fascinating, glittering, explosive, and tragic life, as many celebrities do. Maybe people need to remember he wasn't just a celebrity but a human being like all the rest of us, with feelings, hopes and dreams. I pray he's at peace now experiencing the love of Jesus that he talked about. Rest in peace, Michael. Now you can truly look on the face of God.

I saw on yahoo news a few weeks ago he was diagnosed with skin cancer. The vitiligo apparently can cause issues too. I guess now we just have to wait for the autopsy results.
I could never stand him in the first place. All my friends went ga-ga over the moon walk and glove thingy. I never really liked his singing, but that is just me! That is not to say he wasn't talented! It must be a shock for his family.
