Are they testing Michael Jackson for HIV and AIDS as part of the autopsy? The fact that he wore masks for many years, was reported to have respiratory difficulties, has had severe weight loss, and has had more than the average trips to the hospital for a man his age, and his life style, would make me want to rule out the possibility of HIV and/or AIDS. Also, everytime he had any health crisis, the rumor mill would say one thing, and those around him would say he was fine, or come up with a variety of illnesses. It would be very rare for someone in the 35 to 50 year of age range, to suffer from such a variety of illnesses. It would be more believable to have a variety of symptoms due to the same ongoing illness.

maybe he caught swine flu. no seriously.
anyway, id like to know why I heard on CNN 'he's slumped on a chair and then a different audio saying 'he's on the bed'

Would someone please ask a medical doctor why the licensed cardiologist is performing CPR on Michael Jackson on his bed? He should know that CPR is not very successful on a soft surface. That is why the 911 responder told them to put him on a hard surface like the floor. Not sure anyone was thinking very clearly. Pretty sure he was in the bed when he arrested.

I wonder why the doctor didn't have Michael on the floor to begin with – a bed has too much give in it to be able to do CPR effectively. You need a firm surface so you are actually pumping on his heart and not just pushing him more into the mattress. That doctor should have known that – its one of the first things you learn in CPR class.

I said when Heath Ledger died. What reason is there for people to know every detail about a famous person's final moments and death? Take away the fame, and they are someone's somebody. That needs to be respected more than the need for fans to know every detail (whether it's real or pure speculation).

Mysteries, mysteries and more mysteries!
With Michael Jackson could be different?

Anyone who is trained in CPR knows that the person has to be on a hard surface not a soft bed for it to be effective. And how was there no trauma when almost always ribs are cracked or broken while performing CPR and if no puse was felt within the first few minutes that it is usually not effective. lAre we going to find out just who made the 911 call and what the Dr's response was when asked what happened by the 911 operator? If the Dr was truly duing CPR then he should lose his license for being a quack trying to perform it on a bed and not the floor or with a backboard. Very disappointed in his dad Joe's response by saying that he is the greatest superstar ever which although may be true he should have been grieving more and mentioned how the family just lost their loved one and that everyones love, prayers, and support is well appreciated. If I had just lost my son no matter how great he was I would not be thinking of what a superstar he was or ever will be, I would be devestated and mourning deeply with the appreciation of support of all his fans.
