"This Is It" Opens To Moderate Sales

Michael Jackson's documentary film "This Is It" has opened to moderate sales, thus far, in a swan song that has one wondering if this is what the singer would have wanted.

His last work that he will be remembered by, is now essentially a rehearsal video that is not even the finished product. It's hardly what an entertainer would call their best, as it is a behind the scenes view. A fly on the wall feature.

What makes it worse is Jackson looked so emaciated, skeletal and strained with his skin sporting an almost gray hue. It showcased a Jackson deep in thought, preparing for his big comeback that was cut short. It was an incomplete thought.

An unfinished, unpolished product, for a man that was a musical perfectionist, wanting to get everything just so. I do not think this is how he would want to be remembered, as a man that time, tragedy and temptation got the better of. This was not it, pardon the pun.

$20.1 million is it for 'This Is It'

October 29, 2009 | 10:54 am - Sony's unusual Wednesday launch for its Michael Jackson movie "This Is It" yielded decidedly mixed results.

The documentary sold $20.1-million worth of tickets around the world, with $7.4 million coming from the U.S. and Canada and $12.7 million from 97 foreign countries.

The United Kingdom was the biggest foreign market for "This Is It," bringing $1.9 million. France was next with $1.4 million, followed by Japan with $1.2 million, German with $1.1 million, and China with $730,000.

A small amount of the total came from night-time shows in the Western United States on Tuesday starting at 9 PM Pacific, but the vast majority is from screenings on Wednesday.

Opening movies worldwide on a Wednesday outside of summer of the holidays is extremely rare. On that basis, Sony can claim a solid launch when measured against any comparable films.

However, given the huge amounts of hype surrounding the movie and the $60 million Sony spent to make the movie, outside of its marketing costs, the opening is none too impressive...

Michael Jackson's Mom Boycotts Premiere

According to reports, Michael Jackson's mom, Katherine, was absent from the premiere of the documentary movie "This Is It" showcasing his last rehearsals, for his ill-fated tour of the same name.

Jackson never made it to the tour, overdosing on copious amounts of prescription pills and illegally administered anesthetic, days before the tour was to begin.

Numerous entertainers showed up for the premiere, such as Jennifer Lopez:

Madoff Conspirator Found Dead

Police: Madoff associate found dead at bottom of pool

This is a follow up to the September 28, 2009 article titled "Liquidators Hunting Madoff's Millions" which mentioned a "Mr. Picower" and a "Mr. Chase" as two men believed to be in unlawful possession of massive chunks of the Madoff ponzi scheme money. One of the two men has died.

Ruth and Bernard Madoff

Jeffry Picower, a man that unlawfully made $7,000,000,000 from the Bernard Madoff ponzi scheme, was found dead in his pool at his Palm Beach, Florida mansion. Currently, police do not suspect foul play. His lifeless body was discovered yesterday at 1:30PM.

Picower's passing should make it easier for the Madoff trustees to freeze and seize well over $7,000,000,000 from his estate and disburse the liquidated assets to victims of the ponzi scheme.

Picower broke the law and as such, all his assets are liable for federal seizure and liquidation, to repay those that were defrauded in the scam.

Side Bar: I cannot fathom what this man is going to tell God on the other side, regarding why he unlawfully kept several billion dollars of stolen money that plunged innocent, hardworking people into poverty, after they worked hard all their lives to earn said savings. He should have returned the money and asked God for forgiveness.

Madoff's family needs to voluntarily surrender the money they are illegally sitting on, as does "Mr. Chase." Because if any of them suddenly dies, whilst wrongfully retaining the stolen money, their souls will be lost for eternity. You need to ask God for forgiveness and give the money back, as it is not yours. Stop prolonging the victims' suffering, as God will not bless you for it.

Police: Madoff associate Jeffry Picower dies at 67

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Jeffry Picower, a philanthropist accused of profiting more than $7 billion from the investment schemes of his longtime friend Bernard Madoff, was found at the bottom of the pool at his oceanside mansion and died Sunday, police said. He was 67.

Picower's wife, Barbara, discovered his body and pulled him from the water with help from a housekeeper, authorities said. He was pronounced dead at Good Samaritan Medical Center at about 1:30 p.m...

Gays And Domestic Violence

Andrew Cowles and Stephen Gately were introduced to each other by homosexual singer Elton John (I'm sorry, but those flowers in that photo are all wrong!)

The recent death of homosexual boyband member, Stephen Gately, this month, who died suddenly of a heart attack at age 33, while on vacation, has vaulted the subject of domestic violence amongst gays, back into the spotlight.

Gately was “married” to Andrew Cowles, a physically, emotionally and mentally abusive gay man that beat him in public so severely, a photographer had to pull him off the Boyzone singer. Gately was punched and kicked in the head and torso repeatedly, which caused him to bleed profusely (this dude must be related to Chris Brown).

In 2006, Andrew Cowles (right) choked, kicked and punched Stephen Gately until he started bleeding profusely

The row was over his family, who refused to accept Cowles. The two men stepped outside the restaurant, where Cowles unleashed a furious physical attack on the small singer, who reportedly cried his eyes out. Who wouldn't.

After sleeping with another man and kicking Gately out of his own bedroom, not to mention viciously beating him, Cowles stands to inherit his fortune. He does not deserve the money, as he clearly treated Gately very badly.

Stephen Gately's funeral

Statistics show instances of domestic violence among gays, happen much more frequently than with heterosexual couples.

Gay marriage is not God's design. The Bible refers to marriage as a union between a man and woman and that is how God will always view it.

Due to this immovable fact, some gays in Britain and Europe have attempted to have sections of the Bible removed, altered and or labeled hate speech, which is a sin.

God states in the Bible, the Words in the Book are not to be altered. You are unlawfully infringing on others' universal rights to practice their religion in its truest, most authentic form.

Court Clerk Lists Britney Spears As Dead

Britney still crazy

One of the clerks for the conservatorship of schizophrenic pop star, Britney Spears, filed court documents in the case this week listing her as "deceased." How eerie. It's rather ironic, considering how dangerous Spears' behavior has been over the past few years.

That conservatorship did wonders for Britney's weave (not really)

Britney Spears -- ALIVE AND WELL!!!!!

Posted Oct 14th 2009 - Boy, knock us over with a feather. We just pulled court documents that say Britney Spears is deceased! But don't panic -- it's not true. Just a little secretarial mess up.

The docs were filed last Friday in Britney's conservatorship case. The lawyers were asking the judge to restate an order, keeping various business records confidential.

But the first page reads, "In re the Conservatorship of the Person and Estate of BRITNEY JEAN SPEARS, Deceased."...

John McClain Insulted Michael Jackson

In the now settled copyright infringement dispute between legendary singer/songwriter Paul Anka, composer of the tune "My Way" and the scurrilous, stinky, silly Sony, Michael Jackson's former label, one of the executor's of the late pop star's will, music producer, John McClain, made a regrettable statement regarding the song that was ripped off, titled "This Is It."

McClain enraged Jackson supporters yesterday, when he told Anka, "Now we know why the song was so good" implying Michael could not have written the pilfered tune on his own, as it is written in a classic pop format, reminiscent of "Human Nature" that was also penned by another songwriter and given to Jackson.

Who told McClain to say that! Jackson supporters wanted his head on a platter, almost as badly as the late singer's doctor, Conrad Murray, who gave into the singer's demands and ridiculously gave him anesthetic to sleep each night, which killed him at the age of 49.

Note to McClain: based on what I've read in feedback sections, you may want to think about getting a new identity...and take Murray with you (kidding).

Paul Anka -- Michael 'Stole' from Me

Posted Oct 12th 2009 8:13PM by TMZ Staff

It's the quickest resolution in Hollywood history -- Paul Anka says the special administrators of Michael Jackson's estate gave him a 50% cut of "This Is It" ... after he said Michael "stole" the original recordings from his studio back in the 80s.

Paul also said John McClain told him, "Now we know why the song was so good ... it wasn't the type of Michael Jackson song that he could write."

Anka said he was humbled by the compliment.

Anna Nicole Smith Plot To Kill Husband’s Heir

Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel

A Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI has unearthed documents revealing, former nude model and reality TV star, Anna Nicole Smith, who died at age 39, from a prescription medication overdose, was being investigated for a plot to kill, E. Pierce Marshall, the son and heir of her husband of less than a year, J. Howard Marshall II.

It is a item supported by Anna Nicole's ex-boyfriend, who is currently incarcerated, as he states she wanted him to carry out the murder, but he refused.

Smith fought E. Pierce Marshall, night and day, for the billions in his father’s will, in which the deceased deliberately passed her over, denying her any significant inheritance.

When one marries a man old enough to be one's grandfather, then immediately drops him to go partying in another state, it will cause bad feelings to the party being abandoned.

As stated previously in the Sound Off Column, I am in disagreement with the Supreme Court's decision in the case, as George W. Bush instructed them to reverse the declination from the lower court, which granted Smith another opportunity to haggle for Marshall’s money, after he left her out of his will, due to abandonment.

There were items published at the time in the mainstream press, which stated George W. Bush made such a request on behalf of Smith.

Whenever the Good Lord decides its time for George W. Bush to die, he should hope someone doesn’t go against his wishes and challenge his will, attempting to cut his kids out of what is rightfully theirs (well, rightfully the property of the people of Iraq – according to published reports, where did those many missing barrels of Iraqi oil go, Mr. Bush).

Anna Nicole Smith embroiled in murder plot Published: 7:38AM Thursday October 08, 2009

There are reports the FBI investigated the late Anna Nicole Smith for plotting to kill her husband's son.

According to the Associated Press, Smith was investigated in 2000 and 2001 for plotting to kill E. Pierce Marshall, who she battled in court for years over her husband's fortune.

However, prosecutors decided there was not enough evidence to bring charges against Smith...

Kandi Burrus Fiancé Killed

Kandi Burrus' Christian mother did not approve of her engagement to Jewell, a reputed drug dealer, causing both mother and daughter tears on the show The Real Housewives of Atlanta

A.J. Jewell, the fiancé of singer and Real Housewives Of Atlanta star, Kandi Burrus, was killed in the parking lot of the Atlanta strip club, Body Tap, of which he was part owner. Talk about dying at a sinful place.

Kandi Burrus and A.J. Jewell

Jewell and another man, Fredrick Richardson, had an argument that escalated into a physical fight, leaving the former with severe head injures. He was rushed to Piedmont Hospital, where he later died.

According to a Zimbio page, in 2008, “A woman named Wanda Jackson accused Pacman Jones of punching her inside the club (Body Tap).”

This has not been a good year for Hollywood, as numerous entertainers have died, from singer, Michael Jackson to actress, Farrah Fawcett.

Arrest in ‘Housewives' ex-fiancé beating death

Atlanta police charged a strip club employee with voluntary manslaughter Saturday in the beating death of the former fiancé of the newest member of the reality television show The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Ashley “A.J.” Jewell, who was engaged to Kandi Burruss until last August, died of massive head injuries at Piedmont Hospital. He was fatally injured in a "one-on-one" fight with Fredrick Richardson Friday night, police said.

Richardson also was injured as the two exchanged blows outside the strip bar, the Body Tap Club, Friday night. Richardson was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital where he will remain until doctors say he can be discharged. Then Richardson will be taken to the Fulton County Jail, according to police spokesman Officer James Polite.

The hospital would not release Richardson's condition, but police said he is conscious and alert.

Polite said detectives were still “trying to figure out [what happened]. We had a pretty good number of witnesses that are being cooperative.”

But the cause of the fight in the parking lot of the club in the 1200 block of Marietta Boulevard was still not known Saturday, Polite said.

Jewell was part-owner of Body Tap, a club popular with celebrities.

Scientist Dies Of Plague

A few months ago, the Judiciary Report wrote of the dangers of scientific lab work and contaminants that can kill researchers/scientists.

Professor Malcolm Casadaban

A few days ago, Professor Malcolm Casadaban, died while experimenting on a CDC approved sample of the Bubonic plague. Talk about taking your work home with you. One of four things happened:

1.) A contaminant got into his system via an unavoidable accident.

2.) A contaminant got into his system via not observing proper lab procedures and protocols.

3.) A contaminant got into his system via a third party.

4.) Hypotheses 1-3 are wrong.

Bacteria that causes the plague

September 19, 2009 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- There was word Saturday that the death of a University of Chicago scientist may be linked to a bacteria that causes the plague.

The researcher, who died Sunday, studied the genetics of harmful bacteria, including a weakened strain of yersinia pestis.

The weakened strain does not require the safety precautions associated with working on virulent strains. The modified strain of "y-pestis" has been approved by the Centers for Disease Control for routine laboratory studies, and it is not known to cause illness in healthy adults.

Michael Jackson Slams His Family

The Jackson Brothers In a secretly recorded interview, the late pop singer Michael Jackson, slammed several members of his family. Katherine Jackson The recording indicates Jackson wanted these segments of the interview off the record. The journalist agreed, but kept recording anyway. Now the tapes have been released online and they are very embarrassing. The entrance of Forest Lawn in Glendale, California, where Michael Jackson is buried Hear secret Michael Jackson tapes Shock Neverland tapes reveal what Jacko really thought about family MICHAEL Jackson made a series of blistering attacks on his family in secret taped interviews, we can reveal. The singer branded his brothers in the Jackson 5 LAZY MOANERS who just sat around relying on him to make them money... One by one he dubbed them DULL, a COPYCAT, a WOMANISER and ARGUMENTATIVE. Then he bitched about sisters La Toya and Janet. And he even called MUM Katherine "disappointing" in astonishing rants recorded with the ghost writer of his autobiography Moonwalk. Then Jacko, who died in June, realised he'd gone too far several times, snapping: "You can't print that." ... "The brothers didn't give me support," he snipes on one tape. "We'd be working on a TV show or video and they'd be sitting around moaning and groaning but I'd be watching and learning. "It takes a talent, but some people are lazy and don't want to develop anything." Then he goes through the original band members - Jackie, 58, Tito, 55, Jermaine, 54, and Marlon, 52 - in turn. ON TITO: "Tito is into the anatomy of how a car is built," scoffs Jacko who pinpoints him as one of the biggest whingers in the band. "He is a grease monkey. "He still goes to the hobby shop and buys airplanes and flys them. He loves putting them together - they're on these plastic things and you glue them. That is so boring." ON MARLON: "People used to call him ugly and make fun of him - and people would say, 'Which brother is that one?'. "He constantly imitates me on stage. Whatever I do he'll do right after me. I hate when that happens because he looks too "doo woppy" and so old-fashioned." ON JERMAINE: Jackson accused Jermaine - who split from first wife Hazel over a fling with another beauty - of being a womaniser and not having the self-belief to follow him as a successful solo act. Jermaine would either be looking for girls or going along with the jokes," said Jacko. As a songwriter he lambasted him for "always letting outside influences change what style and beauty he's created. "It always ends up not being his creation and changed in some type of way." ON JACKIE: The eldest brother was simply dismissed as stubborn and argumentative. "He approaches everything with so much negativity and doubting," stormed Jacko. ON RANDY: His youngest brother - who joined the group when they became The Jacksons - made the mistake of never taking Jacko's advice. "He doesn't listen and is real hard-headed," he said of Randy, now 47. "You say it's dark - he'll say it's daylight. And he has to be macho. I'll never forget the day we had a meeting with our producer who said you've got to stand up on your own. "Randy stood up and said: "I'm a man' - we are all started laughing." ... ON HIS MUM: Publicly Jackson has always insisted that Katherine, 78, was "the closest person in his life, a great mother and provider." But on the secret tapes he said: "She disappointed me. She did an interview (about him). I don't like her to talk. It's none of those people's business." ... ON JANET: ..."Janet is a tomboy. That is why it kills me to see her off and married. We did everything together and were just alike. We write a whole schedule for the day and follow it. It's a terrible loss." ... ON DAD JOE: "I would suffer if I had to spend a whole day with him... http://www.newsoftheworld.co.uk

Kabbalah DJ Found Dead

DJ AM (photo credit: New York Times)

Kabbalah member, DJ AM, was found dead in his New York apartment yesterday. DJ AM, real name, Adam Goldstein, survived a plane crash last year that killed four people.

A friend went to check on him, after not hearing from Goldstein for a few days. When he received no response from knocking on his door, his friend called the police.

DJ AM's apartment (photo credit: Radar Online)

The police then contacted the fire department, requesting they breakdown his apartment door. Goldstein was found dead, laying face down in bed. A crackpipe and prescription medication were found in his apartment.

In the weeks before his passing, Goldstein began work on an MTV special aimed at cleaning up drug addicts. He professed he was 9-years sober, but clearly relapsed.

Side Bar: didn't the site just go over this two days ago, with the death of Kabbalah member Michael Jackson, warning that another Kabbalah member, Britney Spears, engaging in similarly reckless conduct, is eligible for an overdose. Not to mention the Heath Ledger article last year. Celebrities often fail to learn from others mistakes.

Side Bar #2: As a poster on TMZ's feedback section noted last night, thus far, this summer alone, there have been a number of celebrity deaths: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Jasmine Fiore, Oscar Mayer Jr, John Hughes, Eunice Shriver, Ted Kennedy, Walter Cronkite, Steve McNair, David Carridine, Dominique Dunne, Karl Malden, Gale Storm, Sky Saxon and Fred Travalena.

DJ AM, Star Disc Jockey, Found Dead

Published: August 28, 2009 - DJ AM, a high-profile disc jockey who was as famous for his much-chronicled relationships as he was for his creative scratching and mixing on the celebrity club circuit, was found dead on Friday evening in his apartment in Manhattan, the police said.

The police said his body was found in his seventh-floor apartment in SoHo about 5:30 p.m. after friends had tried unsuccessfully to reach him for days. The chief police spokesman, Paul J. Browne, said the police did not suspect foul play.

DJ AM, 36, whose real name was Adam Goldstein, was discovered face-down in his bed wearing only sweatpants, with a crack pipe and unspecified prescription drugs nearby, an official said.

Emergency workers had to break down the door to get in after one of the friends who had been trying to reach Mr. Goldstein called 911 on Friday.

In an interview with The New York Times in 2007, Mr. Goldstein said he drank heavily, used cocaine and smoked crack in his early 20s, reaching his lowest point when he attempted suicide in 1997. But he also said he had cleaned up his life — including having gastric bypass surgery after his weight ballooned to 324 pounds — and had managed to stay sober for nine years...

In October, The Associated Press reported, MTV was to begin his new reality show, “Gone Too Far,” in which he and concerned families staged interventions for drug abusers...

Michael Jackson Employees Seek To Speak Out

Michael Jackson

According to published reports, employees of the late singer, Michael Jackson, wish to speak out, regarding what they saw the day he died.

Jackson's doctors' stories do not add up and the police are being lied to as they attempt to piece together what transpired on the day of his death.

Anyone that disputes the premise, several sedatives and Propofol, administered hours apart, within a 12 hour period, is deadly, is very naive or seeking to excuse very poor conduct.

Dr. Murray wouldn't have ingested all the drugs he gave Michael, in what amounts to half a day. Dr. Klein wouldn't have ingested all the drugs he was giving Michael for years, to feed his addiction. They took massive risks with Jackson's life, in open contradiction to the Hippocratic Oath and federal and state statutes.

If one is going to overmedicate patients to such extremes, one is just as dangerous as a drug pusher on the corner, selling illegal narcotics. When the end result is the same, a deadly overdose, how different are you from the drug dealer.

When you have to hide in secret to obtain copious amounts of controlled substances, prescription meds, use fake names and bypass state and federal law to obtain it, how is that much different from a drug dealer bringing in illegal shipments of narcotics? Because you have a medical degree and the drug dealer doesn't, you are somehow better?

Jackson's doctors that violated the law, wanted the money to maintain their lavish lifestyles. Now, his doctors need to face the music, pardon the pun, like men and accept the legal consequences of their misconduct.

It is better to be a physician in a clinic earning less wages, than a doctor making big money off unlawfully drugging up a pop star with prescription meds.

What honor is there in making someone sick, when you are supposed to be a doctor curing them. That's an oxymoron.

Jackson Employees Want to Speak Out Regarding Singer’s Death

8/26/09, 10:06 am EST - Two employees of Michael Jackson who were present in the singer’s home on June 25th want to help investigators piece together the events leading up to the star’s death. Michael Amir, Jackson’s personal assistant, and Alberto Alvarez, a security guard who reportedly placed the 911 call demanding an ambulance, had brief informal talks with police the day Jackson died, but their lawyer Carl Douglas says the two men can shed new light on the June 25th timeline, the Los Angeles Times reports.

For instance, at 12:13 p.m. on June 25th, Amir received a panicked four-second message from Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, that essentially said, “Come quick.” Nine minutes later, paramedics were called to Jackson’s home. Douglas said both of his clients are eager to share more information with authorities but have so far been stonewalled. However, Douglas wouldn’t elaborate on what other information his clients might tell authorities.

“We arranged two separate occasions for LAPD investigators to meet with my clients. My clients came early wearing suits and ties. The first meeting was canceled and rescheduled. The second meeting I had to call them to inquire about the [detectives’] absence,” Douglas told the LAT...

Jackson's Death Sparks Foul Play Questions

Video: Jackson Meds Explained - CBSNewsOnline

It's amazing that both Latoya Jackson and a former friend of deceased singer, Michael Jackson, named Dr. Susan Etok, publicly imply, there was a conspiracy to kill the star, by "a consortium of companies" looking to steal his assets.

Some valued his net worth at $500,000,000, which I disputed a month ago, as being over $1 billion, due to music publishing rights. In documents released yesterday on the TMZ site, it was revealed, Jackson's net worth is indeed $1.3 billion.

Considering what I went through in conduct that endangered my life, spearheaded by Hollywood individuals, acting in concert with each other, to criminally divide up my preexisting, multi-billion dollar valued Copyrighted Catalog, in conduct that can only be described as a sick Hollywood cabal, I don't doubt that's possible.

Regarding Hollywood, I have never encountered such a despicable, money hungry, sick set of people in all my life. Hollywood worships money and is willing to do anything to get it, including commissioned murder.

One of the massive side effects of this misconduct is people in the rest of the nation and around the world, watch the criminal activity pouring out of Hollywood, aghast and decide it is too risky and potentially deadly to do business with them.

Latoya, Michael and Janet Jackson in 2004

If Congress and federal law enforcement did a better job of actually upholding existing laws, these things could never happen.

How is it a good thing to have people all over America and across the globe, looking on at the entertainment industry, stating one should avoid doing business with Hollywood at all costs, lest they form a cabal and try to have you murdered to steal your assets. It also delivers a terrible blow to human rights.

Dr. Susan Etok

But federal law enforcement and Congress are quite out of touch with the public and reality, otherwise they would realize, the severe plummet in CD, DVD, concert and ticket sales (constantly forcing Hollywood to raise prices) comes from the fact, the rest of America and the world are tired of the appalling conduct they witness coming out of Hollywood. It is a massive turn off.

La Toya Jackson: Michael's Death Ruling is a Conspiracy Theory

August 24, 2009 - ... A source close to the Jackson family tells Access Hollywood, “La Toya knew it the second she heard he was dead. [Michael] had been telling her for the longest [time] that they were going to kill him and she knows all the players involved.”

“Wait until you see how everything unfolds. It’s going to be the biggest conspiracy of all times.”

That’s a pretty shocking allegation! We wonder what La Toya thinks Michael’s doctors were hiding from him! It’s so scary, because it definitely seems like at the time of his death, Michael was at the mercy of the people who could give him the drugs he apparently thought he needed...

Murderer Of Model Found Dead

Video: Murder Suspect Found Dead in Canada Motel - The Associated Press

"Megan Wants A Millionaire" reality TV star, Ryan Jenkins, 32, was found dead in a motel room yesterday, after an APB was put out for his arrest, in the murder and mutilation of his wife, Playboy model, Jessica Fiore, 28.

His body was found hanging in a motel room in Vancouver, Canada, with authorities attributing his death to suicide.

Police: Reality TV star found dead

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A reality show contestant wanted for murder in the gruesome death of his ex-wife was found dead Sunday of an apparent suicide after hanging himself in a secluded Canadian motel, authorities said.

Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit said police responded to a call from hotel staff about about a dead person in Hope, east of Vancouver, and then called investigators who were part of the massive manhunt for Jenkins.

The real estate developer and investor was wanted in California on first-degree murder charges after the mutilated body of Jasmine Fiore was found in a trash bin in Buena Park, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles.

Jenkins apparently hanged himself, said Farrah Emami, spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney's Office in California, which is contact with Canadian police.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are "now able to confirm that a deceased person that was found in a motel in Hope, British Columbia is, in fact, Ryan Jenkins," Pound said...

Propofol Killed Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson

Lethal doses of the drug Propofol, killed singer Michael Jackson, when it was improperly dispensed outside of a hospital setting, without the expertise of an anesthesia technician.

In a practice this Column has slammed in the past, Jackson was given Propofol and a host of other sedatives, hours apart. It is very difficult for the human body to survive such toxicity, when so many elements of potent drug compositions, besiege the bloodstream and cells.

The day he died, Jackson repeatedly complained of insomnia, demanding more and more sedatives. It is clear, the issues that plagued him, creating the sleeplessness, were not properly addressed by the right psychologists and physicians.

There is no necessity to ever medicate a patient to the extremes Jackson was treated. It was very unwise to believe someone's system could survive that chemical onslaught.

Jackson's last doctors, Dr. Conrad Murray and Dr. Arnold Klein are under active investigation, with a stream of misconduct by the two, continually being uncovered. Dr. Murray is facing the greatest scrutiny, as the physician that administered the fatal dose.

The two men should not be medical doctors under the circumstances, as the mere fact they thought this was an appropriate course of treatment, to appease a pop star that wanted what he should not have, says their judgment is very poor and it poses a risk to the general public.

Pharmaceutical drugs are not candy, to be gobbled up, with the most you will take away from it being a belly ache and cavities. There is an exact science to it and I can't fathom how men that went to medical school did not know better. In short, it was reckless.

Their conduct is the scientific equivalent of a scientist taking home batches of controlled nuclear substances to play around with in their kitchen. You just don't do that, as the risks are too great and deadly.

AP Source: Coroner rules Jackson's death homicide

LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles County coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death a homicide and a combination of drugs was the cause, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press, a finding that makes it more likely criminal charges will be filed against the doctor who was with the pop star when he died...

Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson's personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. A designation of homicide means that Jackson died at the hands of another, but does not necessarily mean a crime was committed.

A search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston includes a detailed account of what Murray told investigators.

According to the document, Murray said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with 50 milligrams of propofol every night via an intravenous drip. But he said he feared Jackson was forming an addiction to the anesthetic, which is normally used in hospitals only, and was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam...

Then around 1:30 a.m. on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tab of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2 a.m., two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. respectively. But they didn't work.

Murray told detectives that around 10:40 a.m. he gave in to Jackson's "repeated demands/requests" for propofol, which the singer referred to as his "milk." He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid, — a relatively small dose — and finally, Jackson fell asleep.

Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left for the bathroom. No more than two minutes later, he returned — and found Jackson had stopped breathing.

"There's no surprise there" that death could result from such a combination, said Dr. David Zvara, anesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

"All those drugs act in synergy with each other," Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of all the other sedatives "tipped the balance."

Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death, the official told the AP.

When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed...

Cantrell said it's perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective.

"This is horrible polypharmacy," he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. "No one will treat an insomniac like this."...
