[size=13pt]Michael Jackson's Mysterious Medical Past
[/size]

Late Thursday afternoon, after nearly two hours of speculation, the Los Angeles coroner confirmed that Michael Jackson had died, apparently of cardiac arrest. Hundreds of fans gathered around UCLA Medical Center, where the 50-year-old "King of Pop" had been rushed reportedly after collapsing at home. (See pictures of people around the world mourning Michael Jackson.)
Jackson's sudden death raised immediate questions about the singer's health history. But little is known about his medical record, which has always been a mystery, characterized largely by rumors and speculation - which sometimes seemed just the way he wanted it. In the fishbowl world he inhabited - with his three young children, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr. (or Prince Michael), Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince Michael Jackson II - Jackson has managed to spark, then dodge, questions surrounding his various health problems. Much of time, the superstar behind hits such as Beat It, Thriller and Billie Jean appeared to invite speculation, appearing in public wearing surgical masks, as he did a decade ago, or in a wheelchair, which he used on certain occasions last year. The singer was always very thin and appeared frail.
The questions began early in his career, mostly surrounding his apparent plastic surgery, and continued as photographs documented his oddly lightening skin color. Jackson addressed that issue, acknowledging that he suffered from vitiligo, a skin disorder in which the pigment cells in the skin are destroyed, leaving white patches. (Watch TIME's video "Appreciating Michael Jackson, the Musician."wink
In 1984, the singer was hospitalized after receiving second-degree burns when his hair accidentally caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. Jackson reportedly used a hyperbaric oxygen chamber while he recovered, and allegedly also slept in the chamber in an effort to halt the aging process - photos of him lying in one were leaked in 1986 - a claim he has denied.
Around Christmas of last year, a British journalist working on a biography of the pop star revealed that Jackson was suffering from alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a genetic condition that affects the lungs and liver. The author, Ian Halperin, told In Touch magazine at the time that Jackson needed a lung transplant and was bleeding in the intestines. He also claimed that Jackson couldn't see out of his left eye and was so winded that he could barely speak most of the time. Jackson's spokesperson, Dr. Tohme Tohme, was widely quoted as denying the health problems, saying that the rumors were a "total fabrication" and that Jackson was "in fine health." (See CNN's special report on Michael Jackson's life and death.)
Recently, Jackson was preparing for a comeback tour, and when plans for his London shows were postponed in May, rumors emerged again that Jackson was sick - this time with skin cancer. Concert promoter AEG Live denied repeatedly in the press that the change in schedule had "absolutely nothing to do with Jackson's health."
It is unclear whether Jackson's sudden cardiac death has any relation to past conditions, but an autopsy is expected to occur on Friday.

I'm sure the vast majority wish his ailment hadnt been fatal. People may not have always shown it, but the fact is he was a legend like few others.


He's one of the reasons why I fear for child celebrities. They dont have it easy despite the fame, fortune and success. Yet they're always envied. undecided

RIP MIKE  cry cry cry
Re: Michael Jackson Died: Cardiac Arrest by HIROSHI: 9:10pm On Jun 26, 2009
From generation to generation, MJ was well known and now would be well missed.

He appeared so ageless that many did not realise he was ageing like other mortals and that he would have been 51 this year.

Adieu Wacko Jacko.

It's a sad one. When I heard people discussing Michael on Dan Foster's show on Inspiration FM this morning, I wondered what was cause, I was shocked when I heard the news of his death. So sad. All those classics of his which I used to listen to growing up were played inducing some nostalgic and tearful feelings in me, about two guys actually cried on Dan Foster's show, I thought it was a joke but I appeared to be wrong, it was that serious. cry cry

I only pray that God overlook all his undoings and look at all the joys and hope he had inspired in the living - all his positive efforts. May Michael Jackson's soul rest in the Bosom of the Lord. Amen.

Goodnight Mike, the world will always remember you, even the ones who dogged your every step.

The difference is you'll be remembered as the king of pop and they as, detractors!
Re: Michael Jackson Died: Cardiac Arrest by Nobody: 9:34pm On Jun 26, 2009
Michael would really be missed,

Like the world is gonna stand still for him,

~Is that a confirmation from the Autopsy or just speculation?
They say TMZ is a reliable source rather than a gossip blog. If the former is true, then he died from demerol.
However, it is rumoured that his doctor injected him. hmm, the one who supposed to save him, killed him undecided lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

I'm very much okay. Thanks for asking.
Not beefing oh. Just asking if you're serious about the question.
I'm not saying I believe or ever care about the allegations against MJ.
But why should any grown ass man be sleeping in bed with other lil children thats not his?
