Conspiracy Junkies

It seems to be that there must be something in built in the human psyche that loves conspiracies. From fake moon landings, Elvis, to Diana and so on, Michael Jackson's untimely demise has brought them out in their droves. Without going into too much detail, if you actually look to the facts of the matter, it's clear that this is simply a tragic event; he's not still alive, he wasn't murdered, he didn't commit suicide. His personal physician is not a murder suspect. He has not absonded. He was in this country a few days ago making preparation for what those who saw it said was going to be an amazing show. Yes, Jackson was in debt, but one of the purposes of the "This is it" tour was to sort out his finances once and for all. He was, without doubt, frail for a man of his years. He was working out with Lou (Hulk) Ferrigno who said he was in incredible shape. The series of gigs at the O2 were well spaced out, and he was going to live over here for the duration. The insurers were happy that Jackson was fit enough, and the schedule was not gruelling. The sad fact of the matter was that his addiction to analgesics following on the Pepsi ad had taken a toll on a body ravaged by other health issues. Ironically, the very painkillers he was taking probably masked him from realising the poor state of his health. He was weak, and the level of fitness he was working to was probably just too much for his ailing heart. Time of course will tell if this was the case, but whatever the official verdict, it won't stop those who choose to believe their own version of events, continuing to beleive otherwise. Mr Jackson is dead, let all this nonsense rest along with him.
