   Michael Jackson's lawyer says his death was the result of his preparations for his London gigs next month and the drugs he was downing to kill pain from stage training injuries.

   Jackson had plunged back into a regimen of pain-killer popping after injuries while trying get into shape for his comeback.
   He had been fighting addiction with prescription medication for most of his life and was taking the drugs after injuries while training, his lawyer and spokesman Brian Oxman says, in a story now breaking in The Age Melbourne.

   Oxman says he was concerned and worried about Jackson's use of drugs,and launched into a scathing attack on the star's hangers on claiming they were "enablers". Oxman said the case was the same as the drug overdose death of Playboy centrefold Anna-Nicole Smith.

   "This is not something that has been unexpected... because of the medications which Michael was under," Oxman said.

   They’ve just announced he died of food poisoning.

   That’s what you get from eating 12 year old nuts

   All this media hype is clearly racist.

   He wouldn't have got the coverage if he had been black.

   I had television on when the bulletin came across he had cardiac arrest and ended up not turning TV off until 3 a.m. my time this morning. An hour after all major networks started carrying the 'saga' live with non-stop coverage, his lawyer started making public 'threats', and they were not 'veiled' threats, that he had told certain people if Michael Jackson "woke up dead some morning" he was going to expose all those 'enablers' in his life. For those who aren't night owls, as I am, there was 'interesting' live coverage of the police at his house going in and taking out many items, searching cars parked there, etc. and asked the reporters to move back from his property.

   Those 'enablers' that his lawyer was sending a message to in his public statements are going to be charged with contributing to his death, I'll wager on that.

   I was not a Michael Jackson fan and can honestly say I never sat and listened to his singing or watched a performance on TV. But I was a die hard Elvis fan and those who 'enabled' him and thus contributed to his death were charged. Michael Jackson's death is a repeat of why Elvis died.

   How many famous entertainers has this world lost through the abuse of legal or illegal drugs from those who eagerly supplied them to enable them to keep 'entertaining'!

   With you all the way, Cheryl; Elvis was the King.

   Given the reports that Michael Jackson had a 'physician' with him when he stopped breathing, I would imagine that someone is asking said 'physician' some extremely pointed questions...

   Chenier, according the news on now they are 'looking' for his doctor, as it seems he left his car behind! However, I don't think it stops with just the doctor as his lawyer repeated many times yesterday 'certain people' he had warned in essence would 'out them' if Michael Jackson died from their supplying him with pills.

   Over here it is a federal offense to give or share your prescription drugs, those which are under FDA laws (tranqs, codeine, demoral, pain pills, etc.), with anyone - even family members. Further, druggist and pharmacies are required to report to the FDA any pattern of abuse by a doctor giving the same patient a drug governed under the FDA. Patients can get caught that way also going from doctor to doctor to keep their 'habit' going and the pharmacist picks up on it and reports them as required. It is all on computers over here when you get or refill a prescription.

   On the early evening news , they showed the doctor's car being taken away.
   It seems he was being prescribed Pethedine, a morphine derivative, he really shouldn't need this for day to day life in reasonable health, and he was desperately underweight,too and goodness knows the effect of all the unnecessary surgery had on him.
   Pethedine (I think spelled that way) is also very addictive and can compromise breathing, its normally prescribed for women giving birth and administered via injection.
   Its estimated eight weeks before all the toxicology reports come back.
