The following post was made over 5 years ago, but for some reason it stuck with me through the years as I read and listened to news regarding Michael Jackson, but now that he was 50 when he died, this post makes it kinda creepy (not to say that his cause of death was due to what was originally posted, but if it comes out to be the case, it makes this post all the more creepier):

Michael was obviously traumatized by his childhood, and I suspect he is on meds probably for bi-polar (which may explain the manic behavior in Berlin). The discoloration of his nail beds is indicative of someone who is ill or are meds and could be from the vitiligo. Yes, I do believe that he has the affliction and yes I'm guessing that he had skin peels (or whatever) to eliminate the spotting, especially after suffering the trauma from childhood about his acne.
I also think the whole thing about kids sleeping in the bedroom was blown out of proportion. I believe that he is asexual (he said that he did not have sex with Tatum) and did not and will not sexually assault any children. And really I couldn't care less how many facial surgeries he has had--2 or 20. If he wants to look like and be Peter Pan, that's cool too. There are worse things than wanting to be eternally young, like being eternally messed up on crack.
But IMHO, Mr. Bashir (and Barbara Walters in her commentaries) artfully edited and spun the documentary in a way that was solely for the purpose of sensationalism and discreditation.
I left the whole thing deeply concerned about Michael--concerned more of what he might do to himself when he can no longer hide the aging process. I honestly believe he may commit suicide before he turns 50.

Yeah, that part of her post gets me.
When he was reported as being rushed to the hospital, my friend and I were wondering whether MJ attempted suicide. When he passed, I accepted the cause of death but, in the back of my mind, wonder if it was a suicide and the cause of death is just a cover-up. Anything's possible since his health issue and passing come out of nowhere as far as the public is concerned.

Really? Typically I believe in cover-ups, but I really think he had a heart attack. I think he has been under so much stress and strain and on so many medications that his heart gave out.

But what information do you have to base this on? Because this really is just sheer speculation. There's no reason to believe he attempted suicide.

That's what the boy and I have been thinking. The human body can only take so much without rebelling in some form.
I hope he had a will that specifies good guardians for his children. I shudder to think who he could have named.

I don't think he would have named anyone too *weird.*
I mean, most of his siblings are pretty normal.
Not sure how I'd feel about his parents though.
There's also Elizabeth Taylor as a possibility, lol. I'm pretty sure she is one of the kids' godmother or something...
