R.I.P MJ

But let?s be real this is pretty pathetic considering the guy admitted to sleeping with children. Besides everyday we have cops, firemen, and solders dieing all over the world. Were there TV coverage or thousands in support of there families. It?s all BS all you ?MJ was so great what will I do without him? whiners.

And who the hell trust WIKI for solid news? Man what is this world coming to no wonder aliens are always depicted as a more intelligent race.

Wow, so Wikipedia maintains the integrity and reputation of their site by making everyone wait until the facts are officially in and people compare them to Nazi's or Gestapo. They acted appropriately. This flurry of activity was undoubtedly harming the stability of the entire site, not just the article in question.

Some people have already said it correctly... Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a blog, not a message/gossip board, and it certainly is not a social networking site. I'm also not sure when exactly TMZ became a reputable source of information on topics like this. When did the gossip mill become a reference for everyone? Try citing TMZ in a college research paper that isn't about the spread of rumors or gossip and see what your professor says! I'd much rather hear from a doctor, hospital administrator, medical examiner, coroner, etc. what his medical status is than TMZ. TMZ is a source of "potential facts" only and "potential facts" do not belong in our reference materials like Wikipedia.

Well, for starters I never sexually touched a child...
Seriously, how can you people be so much in love with his music that you ignore his dark behavior? Would you be willing to excuse other pedophiles if they possessed talent, too?

TOUCH A CHILD???? MY GUESS IS A BIG FAT "ZERO". JUST LIKE ALL OF
YOU HEARTLESS PEOPLE!!!!!!

"@jaguar717: Molested children, did he? You know you can sued for saying that if you have no proof... we can only hope someone in his legal team does."

You cannot libel a dead man.

To the MJ critics.... none of you find it odd that ALL of the child stars that hung out with MJ said the pedophile accusations were BS. Then you have a greedy mother that tries to blackmail MJ. And he was found not guilty. Let the man rest in peace.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a real time news site. It will be in interest of everyone if people control their urge to post "Breaking News", and instead pay more attention to updating with accurate and well verified facts.

I honestly believe MJ is still alive cause #1 he has connections that no other famous person has like take for instance the friendship with many Kings there was I think some time ago where he lived in a Palace.. and the place is well guarded... people of the outside cannot get in unless you're a multi billionaire!!! and I think he just wanna get some peace and actually begin to live a normal life

[viper396]

That's right.... Michael jackson, Elvis and Marilyn Monroe are all alive and living it up in a palace owned by a Saudi Prince in Egypt. Occasionally they all go to Las Vegas and pretend to be impersonators of themselves so they can entertain a crowd again. Every now and then, JFK and John Lennon fly down on their spaceships and join them for a night of partying and boozing in Vegas.


..Please, if your going to start a silly rumor try to be more creative.

RIP MJ...I can't believe he's gone..

I guess we'll never really know what happened to him in his final hours...I just hope the autopsy gives clarity and closure to the Jackson family..
