Michael Jackson - Cause Celebre Not Only In The Entertainment World But Also In The Field Of Law

Michael Jackson is not only creating waves in the entertainment world but also in the field of law. Cause celebre in both cases. Unusual indeed! Yes. It seems that there is more than meet the eyes concerning his death. There are claims that he had been given drugs which only authorised doctors are supposed to give . And can only be prescribed within the hospital environments. Not outside. Not in the home either.

This drug is so powerful that it should be properly monitored once taken by the patient. To ensure that there are no side-effects. If there are, life saving procedures will be activated instantaneously utilising all the necessary facilities of the hospital. As mentioned in the media, a doctor was with Jackson when he collapsed on that fateful day.

The million dollar question is, knowing the nature of the drugs concerned and its deadly effect if not prescribed within clinical surroundings, why were such medications still given to Michael? What factors induced the doctor to do so? How was it possible for a person who is not licensed to provide such type of treatment be able to get substance like that? These are pertinent questions that need answers.

Were there unseen hands directing this scenario? Considering that Michael Jackson is involved in a multi million dollar project. His return as a mega entertainer, starting with a series of concert in London. Did parties to this enterprise wanted to make sure that even if his health is not up to par, Michael needed to be propped up whatever the consequences? Just to make sure, the show would go on.

Tickets for all ten concerts had been sold out. Failure to proceed would mean the loss of million of dollars. Health is therefore not a consideration in this equation. So, did he fall into the hands of people who wanted to profit from this venture without considering Michael's health first. A likelihood as very substantial amount of money are involved.

Or did Jackson by his own choice, persuaded the doctor to supply him the drugs as he required them to overcome pains in his body. Such a possibility cannot be ruled out too. For he has been knowm to use medication in the past to give himself relief.

Whatever it is, it will be a continuing saga until all the issues in the Michael Jackson story are resolved.
