Yeah, but the Jackson family doesn't have any control if the LAPD decides it is a death investigation. And it looks like they are going in that direction if they find a doctor who gave Michael drugs he shouldn't have been given.
So are yall saying that the Jackson family can request that the autopsy be kept secret?
Well, I guess I'm just saying that within the bounds of the law, and the "public's right to know" (in all its unimportance imho) those obligations should be fullfilled within the bounds of tact, discretion, and honor for this man's very personal business without letting the fact that he was a public figure determine how much the public "deserves" to know.
Its Michael's legacy we're talking about at the end of the day, while "the world" will only have something to yet gossip about at work on Monday morning.
I was thinking maybe the family can tell the press things like:
(let's say they found nothing but demoral in his body and no other drugs and it was at normal levels for someone who used it regularly for chronic pain management, to manage otherwise unbearable nerve pain which nobody has to experience except him so he did what he knew like every other human) - they should just say, "it appears that the only thing found in Jackson's body was a pain management drug and none others that could be suspect in creating a toxic shock to the singer's body" - something like that ...
or, say they found about 3 or 4 different drugs in his body which when taken together are deadly, then they could say something like, "Jackson was found to have been using medications in combination, which may have had a fatally toxic interaction in his body"
I would say that if the press insists, and if its a matter of public record then tell them they will let the press get the information themselves whenever it becomes a matter of public record but don't GIVE them any more than Michael would have.
Give NO interviews about it. Answer NOT to the press questions like, "did you know that at the time Michael was taking ____ ?" Not to WASTE their energy filling in the blanks that can be left as mysteries. The public doesn't care about that. The public only cares about remembering Michael Jackson for what he did FOR them when they hear his music and see his work. They do not "deserve" the right to know what those drugs were etc. The public "deserves" nothing but Michael's legacy to live beautifully in their hearts.
Now, if it is going to be a matter of public information regardless, due to laws etc., then I would like those at the forefront of the preservation of his legacy to continue to emphasize the tole it takes on a HUMAN BEING when that person is the ONLY one who has done something of astronomical perportions as Michael has.
NOBODY but NOBODY could experiencially advise him or have a true clue what he was going through.
He sought advice from all the greats who had already accomplished whatever it was that he wanted to achieve, but there were some things that NOBODY could help him with AFTER he accomplished his unique objective.
He had successes that created more complexities, obligations and difficulties no other human has ever known. The press nor the world should be privvy to whatever and all it took for Michael to manage all that if it will put negative energy into the mix of his memory.
His contributions to this earth have been the only important things the public should be focused on. But I know the press bettter than to think that they will leave it at that, and I yet and still hope that now the man who set the example for them all, will cause the heads of news outlets all over the world to say, "NO". We are NOT going to do this to this man.
I'm hoping that if the Jacksons can keep details at a minimum, they will take the lead in leading the rest of the world to show some decency after that exceptionally beautiful shell Michael used to live in is in the ground.
sorry if this is redundant and way too long and stuff .. i have to run out of here before re-reading or editing.
