It is now not the time to cry over spilled milk. It is his destiny that he succumbed to all this. However,having said that, MJ was undoubtedly forever the best entertainer ever .

Oh, isn't it easy for us to judge? I just read the comments both positive and negative. Obviously some of you knew MJ intimately. If you didn't, how would you know that he was a child molester, a drug addict and/or a freak. A human being is dead and three innocent children have lost a father. Too bad he was not as perfect as some of you!

P.S.
And as far as the children are concerned, they all look bi-racial to me.

I am glad that everything about MJ's drug addiction is out in the open and hopefully the doctors in question will pay a high price - jail -
What makes me sad are the children. Eventually they will learn about their father's addiction.

Pray the children are under the care of psicologies.

May God protects and guide them.

Why is it that all these people knew about the drug addiction but yet didn't decide to say anything about it till he dies.

Listening to Dr. Klein talk about drugs and procedures that were used and done was between Dr.Klein and his patient, I thought that was confidential?I think the Medical Board should step in.

If the mews would like to continue with there story about Michael Jackson drug problems that ok. But please leave those 3 beautiful childrens out of it. It is worng and unfair to put them throught all this.
And for the Doctor that are saying he is the father of the 2 older kids now, why he never said anything about it why Michael was living. But if that did happen you can bet he got paid a large sum of money to keep his mouth closed. So why not keep it close now. And all those peoples surrounding him they wasn't trying to stop him from using drugs, all they was after was his money. And his Doctors got paid well they became rich off of Michael. It is a shame we live in a world like we do.

He was a great person and was well recognized by more than just some,every one wished to be like MJ in one way or another, I do believe that he was the 'boss with the hotsauce" and he just did what everone in life wanted to do, or be"The best singer in the entire world". And ah as-if that wasn't enough.... well, we all know that he was also the best dancer in the entire world. Let us give him his propps. May he rest in peace.

Yea Pam and Robert.... I too wish they would stop the circus. OH every time they play his idiot brother with that stupid glove on I almost croak! I do like them talking about the drug addiction part though... Our society really needs the wake up call. People don't realize how bad prescription drug addiction is... but most are not like Michael.. we are paying for their addiction with our taxes!

I am a Rn. I work in a hospital. I see so much Prescription drug addiction it is pathetic. We get what we call "frequent flyers" who come in and will call for every narcotic the doctor orders and if he doesn't order what they want they make our busy day miserable. We are TAlking HUGE DOSES that would put down a horse.

I HOPE that Michael Jacksons death will put a stop to doctors creating and feeding Prescription narcotic addiction. Who knows it may have taken an event like this to stop the abuse.

Pam & Robert, no one has been FORCED to watch the Michael Jackson coverage. Michael was NEVER convicted of being a child molester and being a "serious drug addict" does not mean someone is a "freak." It amazes me how judgmental some people can be. How sad for you that you do not appear to have any compassion for three precious children who just lost their father.

@ Paul, Mike, Pam and Robert...MJ makes news just as Anna Nicole Smith made news at her passing. People love to judge what they do not know. Someone is responsible for what happened to MJ, just like Anna Nicole. Furthermore, MJ was aquitted of all charges – innocent until proven guilty. MJ's death was what God wanted not MJ. Things happen for a reason and MJ's children will be taken care of by God and MJ's family. Don't worry we definitely get all the other news as well. The media's job is done very well, informative. Leave MJ alone and let him RIP.

what is wrong with the so called plastic surgeon of michael jackson? seems to me that he is on something and how can he talk so publicly about a patinet.isn't that confidential?he should never be able to practice anywhere on anybody ,ever. what is his deal for real,he seems like a dr. frankenstein.he is a straight quack, a butcher who should not practice,along with his co-worker dr.murray.michael in no way was able to obtain the anesthetics that was in his posession without a licensed physician it is impossible for any lay person to get. they are licensed drug dealers and criminals and whom ever was in that circle should be imprisoned for life.you have to be held accountable for your actions, no matter what.these doctors mame and kill everyday without accountability andd it stops NOW!

I think you (AC360 featuring Dr. Gupta) are totally irresponsible in making judgment regarding the use of drugs by Michael Jackson based on "hear say". You have no proof regarding "40 zannies". Such comments are only harmful to the children and family. I truly believe indictments will come down in this case and that we will find that someone was responsible for this death. Have a little respect. It is amazing to me how very cold and hateful some people can be over one's death. This is a great loss to many, and it hurts me to see the cruelty in this world.

PS. As I recall, MJ was found 'not guilty' of the child molestation charges. Therefore, to refer to him as a child molester is inaccurate and unnecessary.

The issue of whether MJ was the 'father' of his children should be dropped. MJ is listed as their father on the birth records and therefore he is their father. He loved his children, cared for them, nurtured them, and they obviously enjoyed being together. That constitutes a father....not whether they share the same DNA. Please drop this....it is intrusive, rude and so unnecessary.

It sounds like MJ's family did their part in trying to intervene and
approach him about his drug usage. His response is the usual
response of an addict, to shut friends and family out as he doesn't want to hear it. I have the opinion of the LAPD in that it could very well be
an overdose by MJ or the doctor administering this drug, or negligent homicide by MJ or the attending doctor. The calls to 911 were put off too long and should have been called 45 minutes earlier and then those calls were very evasive as to who exactly was there and calling 911.
Very suspicious circumstances.

I feel bad for MJ's children and will keep them in my prayers.
They do, however, have a very good supportive family behind them,
especially their grandmother (Katherine).

The bloggers above who use the term "child molester" and "pedophile" should be ashamed. He was found not guilty in a U.S. Court. He paid to end a witch hunt, and yet; people exercising free speech in order to make horrific accusations in print. Shame on you. Why not remain silent, rather than disrespect the deceased, his family and his children. This is an example of extreme bad taste. The man was an entertainer. The news , in this case is not entertainment. This coverage is, at best, a form of venting grief for those of us who found Jackson exceptional!

Michael Jackson supposed Drug Abuse

I feel so much sorrow for what MJ went through in life and now his not with us and people still are speculating about his whole life.
First of all we all have to understand what kind of pain he was going through physically and emotionally. Physically I think there was pain, all the surgeries and what we have read of his cheek or cheeks collapse and his noise also I have read he had Lupus that a whole other list of symptoms. All of this had to be so physically painful. All that pain mixed with emotional pain I’m sure it was difficult for him to endure. And through all that he still gave us all that wonderful talent for which his named the KING of POP.
I think we have to see who is really responsible. Money can make some people forget what ethic is all about, The Golden Rule. I’ve had major surgery and I have asked my doctor to prescribe additional pain killers (Demerol, Percocet, Vicodin) just to mention some, but my doctor has an ethic code that all of us should have specially those that have the responsibility or promised to comply with the Hippocratic Medical Oath. When we put our lives in physician’s hands he/she should give us the proper advice and treatment, it should not matter how much money the patient offers.
And what about that doctor from the east coast the one that probably started him or introduced or probably gave him the wrong advice on the use of Diprivan, I guess he also shot his ethic and oath right out the window.
For me I hope he is in a better place where there is no pain or speculation and may GOD guide his family and wonderful children in the right path. And I will quote Mr. Sharpton
“there wasn't nothing strange about your daddy; it was strange what your daddy had to deal with. He dealt with it anyway. He dealt with it for us."
