MJ all over again

The case of Michael Jackson’s death is a sad one. Even after he passed on, there are still controversies about his cause of death. I remembered the day when he died, I was on my way to work and I was in the bus. TV mobile was screening Channel News Asia when the headlines stated that Michael Jackson had died. I almost cried in the bus thinking what kind of sick joke were they pulling. But it turned out to be true. Ever since then, the media has not stopped hounding his family about the cause of death. I think that the media used this opportunity to create such a mess of his death just to feed his fans and the world a story, which is hurting to his family and Michael Jackson. It is devastating to be asked to make a comment every time about the death of a loved one, but I don’t see how the Jackson family can let his death go just because he has to rest in peace. I mean, let the dead be dead and rest in peace? How can that happen when the truth has not been answered? Wouldn’t you want to know who killed you and how you died if there was a chance to reveal truth? And as a family member, one would definitely go to all extent to find justice for their loved ones if they feel that there’s no justice done about the fact that the victim was murdered and his killer was still walking free. Personally, I don’t believe Michael Jackson committed suicide because it doesn’t make any sense when he was preparing to make a comeback into the entertainment industry. There is however a chance that he may have overdosed himself accidently while on medication. It is known that he took many painkillers because of his injuries due to dancing for many years and the fact that he was not young anymore. And to disagree with Maran: “Would that make his fans any happier, knowing that he killed himself. All it would do is to loosen their faith and love for M.J and his great legacy.” I’d say yes, of course it doesn’t make his fans feel any better to know he killed himself, but as a fan they would feel at ease and may finally be able to let Michael Jackson go and let him rest in peace. They loved him and it doesn’t make it any easier for them not to know what really happened to their Pop- King. To conclude, as a fan of Michael Jackson, I really hope that the investigations going on will give an insight to what actually took place on that unfortunate June 25^th because if Michael Jackson was in fact murdered, he killer should be caught and sentence to death.
