Can't We All Just Leave him Alone (or at least get our facts straight?)

Michael Jackson has been gone for less than a week and I swear I have heard just about every rumour possible about his life, his death and his after-life. The collective we can't seem to get enough of the King of Pop. Those who ridiculed and condemned him in his life are clambering back up on the bandwagon.

Here are just a few of the rumours that have been swirling around in the days since MJ's passing:

Debbie Rowe never gave up her parental rights and the Jackson family were ready to fight tooth and nail fro custody.

Debbie Rowe and Michael were not the biological parents of either Michael Jr or Paris and Michael was not the biological father of "Blanket"

Instead, long-time dermatologist Arnold Klein was the biological parent and/or he was supplying Michael with drugs up until the time of his death

Michael died of a drug overdose

Neverland will be turned into a memorial - much like Graceland

Not only did Michael not father his children, he also failed to file any paperwork to adopt any of them.

Michael had no will.

The body was in terrible condition. Michael's hips, thighs and shoulders were riddled with injection site. He was also bald at the time of his death and had unexplained bruising on his shins and knees. This information came from a copy of the autopsy.

Michael routinely received injections of Demerol


Michael had a number of wills.

There will be a public memorial at Neverland Ranch on the Weekend.

Lidocaine was found near the body and Propofol, a powerful anaesthetic, was found in the home and had been injected through an IV before Jackson died

There will not be a public memorial at Neverland Ranch on the Weekend.

His former nurse routinely pumped his stomach after Michael ingested a combination of drugs.

The "fact" that Jackson had numerous injection sites on his body indicates he had a drug problem. Therefore, any Doctor who prescribed Jackson drugs could conceivably be guilty of criminal manslaughter as it is defined as a reckless disregard for human life

Okay, have I covered everything? Sadly no. There are countless stories making their way around the interweb and I have not even covered the tip of the iceberg here. Ugh to the media reporting all of this as "fact". You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I will end this post by including a video tribute from the "Dancing Inmates" circa 2007
