Michael Jackson Dead

[pomtzu]

The ones that affected me the most were:

Lady Di
JFK, Jr
John Denver


All way too young, and definite shockers.

Steve Irwin was another that was shocking for me. I know his job was dangerous, but he seemed larger than life. It was such a tragedy and it broke my heart especially for his wife and kids.

John Denver really affected me. I saw him perform with the Houston Symphony Orchestra two weeks prior to his death. He only performed with them one more time. It was by far the most amazing performance I've ever seen.

John Ritter affected me too. He was brilliant. I loved him growing up as Jack Tripper. He was just too young.

MJ dying doesn't affect me much... however I am so sad for his children and his family. Their loss must feel unbearable at the moment.

The artists that I cried for when they died:
Freddy Mercury
Kurt Cobain
River Phoenix

Now they say on tv that they are searching for his doctor. They say he lived in his house and gave MJ a daily injection, also on the day he died. Obviously the police has some questions, but the doctor couldn't be found yet.

Another thing I've been wondering about... Does anyone know who called the ambulance after Michael Jackson's heart attack? I did not hear any information on this on the news...

The Dr has been found and is going to speak with police. Apparently this personal Doctor is a cardiologist. I don't know who called 911 but they did play the 911 tape on CNN but I didn't recognize the voice of the person that called in and they didn't say the name of that person. but the one thing that stood out as very strange to me... I just mentioned that this personal doctor was supposedly a cardiologist....

ON the 911 tape the operator asked where MJ was and the caller said he was on the bed not breathing so the 911 op said to get him onto the floor and start CPR. and the caller said that the doctor was already doing CPR but he was not responding and not breathing.

He was doing CPR on him on the BED? I am NOT a cardiologist and even I know you do CPR on a hard firm surface NOT on a bed. it's pointless on a bed or soft area. So... WTF is that about? It's probably nothing but that just stood out to me as being out of place.

I am starting to think that maybe this was a planned suicide perhaps. but that is just speculation on my part

[caseysmom]

I never thought of a planned suicide. I think the doctors where giving him lots of drugs and whatever he wanted and it killed him. I hope he wouldn't want to kill himself considering he had children. I think he had things to look forward to. I think he had a lot of crappy people around him.

Maybe they just had a board lying around the bedroom - just in case

In the hospital, there was a board on the Crash Cart that we could quickly slip under the patient.
