Why is no body talking about Micheals dad, what actually happened during his childhood for him to become what he was. I think his dad should be investigated , did he torture him in a way known to only micheal? I am sure if this is uncovered we will be suprised with what we find.

I can't believe that your news agency is still making allegations about the mj story why don't they move on to something else that is much more pertinent; that even in death there is no end, for some of us; such as the fact that grave diggers were moving bodies and and selling the grave sites for profit; what gives with cnn you guys don't have enough to cover apart from the michael jackson debacle!!

With someone like Michael Jackson, who was so out of touch with what was happening in his life, just stopping by and talking to them is not an intervention. Of course, he is not going to listen. He needed to be "abducted" by his family and taken away from all the letches surrounding and "protecting" him, to an undisclosed location with appropriate medical care followed by a lengthy rehabilitation period. Perhaps the family could even have told him they would apply for temporary custody of his children, until he got his act together. Going to a 3 week rehab program is not a successful way to get off the drugs and change your life around. Whether he was an adult or not, he was out of control, obviously not thinking clearly and needed some very tough love!

Why are we going back and forth with this drug abuse?This is really rediculous–didn't he have some medical ailments?Didn't he suffer from Lupus?Why not give all the facts on his medical history rather than tear someone apart.. He gave so much to us, why can't we give him the same respect.!!!

While an exceptinally gifted artist, Jackson abused prescription drugs. He lived a risky life those that go to local mountains fall and get rescued by helicopters get a bill for using this service. Tax payers are not burdened. Now take some of that money Jackson family, and pay the city back the $1.4. City: if they don't, just send them a bill. Why should tax payer pay for those who want to live risky lifestyle. Taking Xanax is risky. And his lifestyle should not be glamorized.

All this "sources say" "supposedly", "possibly", etc. and other terminology so easily thrown around in this breaking news reports about MJ. Why not tell the real truth, the gossip is...blahblahblah, and we don't know anything, but we need to keep your focus on our channel. It's ratings, ratings, ratings. Campbell Brown seems almost delighted to use words with plenty of emphasis...Demerol, etc. Everytime she was to make a bad point about Micheal, listen to the tone of voice, watch the body language and read her face. She could care less about anyone but her own paycheck. The saying goes, "the truth shall set you free." How much freedom will people like Campbell have if these children turn into depressed, uncertainly, and hopelessly confused teenagers and adults. How many nightmares do you want them to wake up from in the middle of the night? Think of your own loved ones. Not just your paycheck.

Has anyone considered the leading cause of severe chronic insomnia is mercury poisoning from dental amalgams? Would it be possible that Michael Jackson, like so many of the post second world war generation, had dental amalgams at some point in his life and had never been chelated to remove the mercury from tissues and from the brain. Mercury toxicity in humans causes auto-immune diseases, neurological and central nervous system disorders.
REM sleep does not exist for the mercury poisoned brain.

@adela palenquela: not only was MJs funeral NOT boring it was a Magnificent memorial and Tribute to Michael Jackson. How anyone could find that boring is beyond me.

Fred Astaire said of Michael Jackson, "he was the Greatest dancer of our Time." Many others have referred to him as a genius. I only wish Michael could have asked Deepok Chopra for help, because Deepok is one person who could have helped Michael. He could have brought him back to a balanced state.
Deepok Chopra was a good friend of MJs but unfortunately MJ did not percieve how Deepok could have helped him.

With all the hard, critical news facing the US & world, the media orgy over MJ is typical and divorced from any reality that matters today. One of the fundamental problems of America is the loss of our manufacturing base supplanted by an effete entertainment culture exported to the world. Sad to see the way our country has devolved.

Not only was the funeral not too long It was absolutely mesmerizing and phenomenal. It was so well organized, it was unbelievably wonderful.

I am troubled by the amount of time that is being spent on what killed Michael Jackson. What really killed him was the muck raking media, who are now picking over his corpse. Please let the man just rest in peace.

On regards to drug intervention. I can relate to the story. I have a brother who used to have a drug addition. (I don't know if he still does) But we try to intervine, but like Michael he distance himself from family members. We try to get him to a drug rehab, but he did not want help. Drug addits, do not want help.

It seems that everyone wants to make a comment pertaining to "what seen or heard" about Michael's last days. But let us remember "Look at the man in the mirror" before we pass judgement. I am a fan of Michael and I will always remember how his songs made pain feel a little better.

Hello Anderson,
I am from Brazil and consider MJ a great artist. But we need to separate the facts. He decided to have a family. Now he is dead. So, his children custody is a very serious and important aspect in this situation. In my opinion you can go on with this subject. It crossed my mind that he could probably had a kind of mutual agreement with Debbie Rowe before the children were born.
The situation that the mother "gave up" the custody seems to me that she had to do it. I confess that I never looked thru newspapers before to know better about the subject. Now, all of this became more than public. Has she being able to see their children in regular basis? Children needs and want to see their mom. And vice-versa no matter what happened between the parents. It is a very complicated situation for us to judge mainly because there is another child whose mother's name was not informed. May MJ rest in peace and his children grow up well. thanks

i dont think a judge should realy give debbie those kids,she was a serget mother only difference with she and blanket mother was because micheal marry her.i listen to debbie talk she dont sound like a mother who love her kids and want to bond with them.how can u tell ur kids not to call u mommie come on,then ur going to say they are not ur kids they are micheals. unless u are not the biological mom.she is pathetic they need to replay that tape with her.she needs to leave those kids with micheals mom.just like how when micheal had them sshe was not intrested to visit or be apart of their lives just tell ur self that he still has them it just for the money she is just like joe jackson catherine need to divource joe and let him and debbie get married.
