Michael Jackson reportedly rushed to hospital

I suspect a misuse of medication, maybe not even deliberate, since he passed a 4.5 hour physical by independent doctors not too long ago.

It might have been a post on the Anderson THB forum, but I remember someone saying that Michael Jackson was the kind of guy you'd expect to have a tragic death at an early age.  He was just that ...... strange?

Zia, did they say he was sick? What with?

At the risk of sounding callous, I was sadden by the news of Farrah Fawcett's death today.

I seem to remember that certain drugs can interfere with cardiac electrical signals. I don't think he keeled over from 'natural causes', but that's just my own opinion.  Maybe I am wrong.

Maybe you are.  I'll say here what I said elsewhere about someone else dying of a sudden heart attack.  My uncle was 60 years old....had been out doing yard work.  Healthy as a horse.  Came in after he was finished, sat down in his favorite chair to relax, and died of a heart attack.  They most certainly can come out of nowhere.

I agree with CC, you don't always get the warning that a heart attack is about to come on and take your life, I know of a guy that had a very similar situation as CC's uncle, but he was a few years younger. Not defending Michael, but wasn't he under a lot of stress lately-lack of money, almost losing Never, Never Land, then training to go back on tour, maybe it was just more than his heart could take.

I hope you gals are right.  I hope I'm wrong, for his children's sakes.

Did he have custody of his children? I was thinking he did for some reason, but can't remember if their mom was in the picture at all or not.

I read that he has a shot of demerol earlier and shortly after was breathing shallow. im young, but ive grown up my whole life hearing MJ and seeing videos, i find this sad. :(
