Was Michael Jackson Murdered?

I'm curious about the doctor on the insured concert promoter's payroll (Dr. Conrad Murray), Jackson's debt to that promoter and the Lloyd's of London windfall payout for the concert NOT to happen - just asking because the DR did flee the scene rather then accompany body to hospital.

Dr. Murray, who public records show is a 56-year-old cardiologist with a practice in Las Vegas, has lived in numerous homes over the last decade in several states, filed for personal bankruptcy in 1992 in California and has five tax liens against him for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

According to HealthGrades, a health care ratings company, Dr. Murray is board certified in neither of his two specialties, internal medicine and cardiology...

According to Bossip.com: "In 2008, three judgments were filed against Murray or his company, Global Cardiovascular Associates, in Clark County, Nev., totaling more than $435,000, and two other cases are pending from companies that say Murray owes them a total of $355,00.

Why did this Conrad Murray do CPR on MJ on the bed vs the flooor? You’re a cardiologist. Something went wrong.

Althouse adds: "There seem to be people who might be blamed for unintentionally facilitating his slip out of this world, but did anyone want this to happen? Jackson had a huge comeback planned, with 50 sold-out arena shows, and massive debt. If he was physically/mentally unprepared to take the stage, he/others might have been desperate enough to see death as the only viable option."

And the tabloids are already saying how Jackson is worth more dead then alive. Analysts looking at the prospect of estate image and likeness income without expenses buoyed by recent news that Elivis image and likeness rights alone just sold for $100 million after all these years.

On Larry King, MJ's friend Deepok Chopra particularly had a very clear vision of what happened. He really said it like it is about prescription drugs.

The Boston Herald had a different explanation: "Was Jackson subconsciously suicidal? That’s an interesting question. Because despite the upbeat glad handing pep talk about his “rehearsals” and his “getting in shape” for his first extended series of concerts in 12 years, the truth is Michael Jackson in death weighed a pathetic 125 pounds. He was described four days before he died as “skin and bones” and “skeletal” and he was on so many drugs it is doubtful he could have gotten through three songs much less a two-hour show. Did Jackson know this — and sickeningly and queasily, did his promoters know this? That there was a mountain looming, one Jackson was unable to climb much less conquer?

You wonder if in the mind of Michael Jackson, growing old onstage, moving slowly, unable to give his fans the kind of electrifying performance with kinetic dance moves and inexhaustible energy — that was never a possibility. Did Michael Jackson feel he would rather die, he should die, rather than give less than he’d always given? Was the planned London comeback summer of ‘09 the real reason Jackson’s heart stopped?"

Whatever the truth whenever it be known, the Jackson family are in our prayers.

TMZ reports that in 2007, a Beverly Hills pharmacy sued Jackson, claiming he owed more than $100,000 for prescription drugs during the past two years. The suit was settled. And Dow Jones reports that "Michael Jackson's sudden death Thursday rocked Twitter and news Web sites as people swarmed the Internet looking for the latest developments and analysis surrounding the death of the pop-music icon.

Twitter, the popular microblogging service that's experienced exponential growth in the last year, was flooded with thousands of Jackson-related messages immediately after reports of his death circulated. Demand was so overwhelming that performance slowed considerably, and Twitter said it had to disable temporarily the search ..."

"He feared somebody wanted to kill him," Brian Oxman, Michael's family lawyer tells Life & Style. "He was even concerned people would kill him to somehow try to take control of the Beatles back catalog."

AEG -- MJ Concert Insurance Covered Overdose
Posted Jul 3rd 2009 11:30AM by TMZ Staff
AEG took out a hefty insurance policy in case Michael Jackson's 50 London concerts fell through -- turns out the policy covered an MJ overdose.

AEG's chief executive Randy Phillips said the $17.5 million insurance policy from Lloyd's of London didn't cover a death from natural causes.

Phillips said the policy would still fall short of the money spent on Jackson's advance, producing the show, covering some of MJ's debts and paying his staff and rent -- which cost between $25 and $30 million.
