Drug induced cardiac arrythmia most probably. His personal physician is a menace.

I have to agree with ?. Anyone who thinks that he died of natural causes is living in Never Never Land. I think it's of interest that he happened to be 50 years old. I wonder if he planned to go out at 50. Just a thought. I feel sorry for him, I really do. Once upon a time, he was an attractive, talented young man who lost his identity in becoming part of the world. I don't think he ever felt that his life was really his own. He wanted to remain a child. I wonder now about his children and how their lives will turn out.

Anyone who has ever taken a CPR or first aide course knows that you must do CPR on a hard, flat surface in order for the chest compressions to be effective. The 911 caller specifically said that MJ's physician was doing CPR on the bed. Something is seriously wrong here.

"Heart attack" is not correct. I believe that implys blockage of arteries causing heart tissue to die. Most people are leaning toward prescription drug interactions that caused cardiac arrest. Totally different.

If this cause of death is from the medicines i think the doctor should be responsible for a few reasons 1. You never give some one so many pain pills at one time especially if they are taking medicines for anxiety and such 2. If you know the medicine is at high risk for a heart attack then why in the world give it to the King of Pop who is so active 3. Never and i mean never mix so many medications like Michael was taking together that was just stupid on the docs part and he should lose his license for it there are certain medications that you just cant mix together and those that Michael was taking was not a good mixture to begin with and getting shots on top of it. I think this doc is no good he has one charge against him already and a couple more pending what does that tell you he should not have a license and the the Jackson family should sue this man
