Category 3: Death (Entry 1)

Michael Jackson’s death was unexpected and posed many questions. His shocking death led many people to wonder what really could have happened to Michael Jackson, and who was technically responsible for his death. Jackson was formulating a set of many concerts before he died. The tour was called “This is It”. Michael Jackson’s career had slowly took a turn for the worst starting back in 1993 when he was charged of child molestation the first time. (Michael Jackson Britannica)  Those events and the many trials he went through made him desperately strive for a comeback. This tour was going to bring him “back” in the music world and help his reputation. He was only 50 years old, and even at 50 he was still trying to perform even until his last days. He practiced vigorously and I believe his body was under too much pressure. He was on different medication and his body finally just gave out.  His music was his heart and soul and he wasn’t going to stop.  Reports say he died suddenly of cardiac arrest on June 25, 2009- prompting a widespread outpouring of grief from his fans. (Michael Jackson Britannica) The doctors tried to revive him, but it was too late. Once news broke out of his death it was absolute chaos. Fans mourned and made memorials in remembrance of him. Many did not believe it and still do not believe he is dead today. Many believe that his death was a big hoax and that his family has inside information.
