Rumor : Michael Jackson Pastinated? Second Autopsy? More On His Doctor, Akon Speaks
Definition : plastination - a process involving fixation and dehydration and forced impregnation and hardening of biological tissues; water and lipids are replaced by curable polymers (silicone or epoxy or polyester) that are subsequently hardened; "the plastination of specimens is valuable for research and teaching"
Michael Jackson will live on as a 'plastinated' creature preserved by German doctor Gunther von Hagens.
Von Hagens has caused controversy with everyone from the Pope to the chief rabbi in Israel with his practice of embalming corpses with preserving polyurethane.
Yesterday, he declared: 'An agreement is in place to plastinate the King of Pop.'
Von Hagens said that he spoke with representatives of the Jackson family 'many months ago' and it was agreed that his body will be plastinated and placed next to Bubbles, his late pet monkey who was plastinated a number of years ago and is exhibited at The Body Worlds & Mirror Of Time exhibition at the O2 Centre in London.
Von Hagens also confirmed it was one of Michael's final requests to be reunited with Bubbles.
'There is no better place than to do this at the venue where Jackson was due to perform his world record 50-date tour,' said a spokesman for Von Hagens.
He added: 'Von Hagens has hinted that a moonwalk pose would naturally be favoured. 'It is hoped the exhibit will be unveiled towards the end of July.'
Jesse Jackson Says they will do a second autopsy
The Rev. Jesse Jackson says Michael Jackson's family wants an independent autopsy following the pop star's sudden death at age 50.
Jesse Jackson said after a Chicago press conference Saturday that there are unanswered questions surrounding the King of Pop's death, including about the role of the personal cardiologist who was with him.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office performed an autopsy on the singer's body on Friday but deferred a finding on the cause of death pending further tests that could take more than a month.
Jesse Jackson says the family's wound from the pop star's death is being kept open by the mystery of the cause of death.
Spiritual teacher Deepak Chopra, a friend of the pop star, says he had been concerned since 2005 that Michael Jackson was abusing prescription painkillers.
They Say The Doctor Didn't Do what he was supposed to do?
ackson family members told TMZ.com that Murray gave Jackson an injection of Demerol, a narcotic painkiller, at 11:30 am — an hour before paramedics were called. Family members believe a potent cocktail of narcotic painkillers, including Demerol and OxyContin, caused his death.
Demerol, an opioid similar to morphine and heroin, is normally administered to post-op patients. One side effect of Demerol is suppression of breathing to the point where respirations are no longer adequate to sustain life.
According to transcripts of a 911 call placed from the residence, Murray performed CPR on Jackson while the stricken star lay in bed, as opposed to moving him to the floor which provides a more stable surface for chest compressions. Murray apparently didn’t give Jackson an opioid antagonist, such as Narcan, that would have reversed the effects of a Demerol overdose.
Chances are Jackson would be alive today if he had received a dose of Narcan immediately upon the onset of symptoms such as respiratory distress, dangerously low blood pressure and sedation.
Murray, who is licensed in California, Nevada and Texas, moved in with Jackson about two weeks ago after announcing he was shutting down his private practice to travel to London with Jackson as his personal physician.
A promotor for AEG Live, which booked Jackson to perform 50 concerts over 6 months at the 02 Arena, said Jackson “insisted” that AEG hire Murray as his personal physician, and AEG advanced Jackson “a substantial amount” to pay Murray for his services.
Investigative reporter Diane Dimond, in an interview with CBS, said: “I worked in Hollywood for many years, (for) most of the ’90s, and when the celebrities have a personal doctor, it’s really a prescription writer; it’s really a personal drug supplier.”
Murray, who treated Jackson for three years, has a history of financial trouble and owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal judgments against him in 3 states.
According to family and friends, Jackson was a victim of unscrupulous, greedy doctors who supported his prescription drug addiction for most of his adult life.
Akon Speaks
I couldn't believe it," he said in an interview. "Even now, I'm completely confused, because Michael is just one of the healthiest people that I know. He was pressuring me to stay healthy, like, 'Akon eat right. What are you doing out there on the road? Are you eating? Are you exercising? Are you drinking a lot of water?' He felt like nothing could be accomplished in life if you're not healthy...I thought he was completely healthy from what I've seen, just a lot of people never got close enough to Mike to even know. It's always speculation. It was never them actually knowing." (Billboard)
Michael Anorexic?
There has been many rumors which some that Michael confirmed himself that he would eat only 1 meal a day and others have said he was obsessed about weight gain. It was also reported that he was only 125 pounds and let's not forget he was about 5'10. All of these are saying was one of the reason why he died the way he did.
