Jackson's family remains mostly out of sight at their suburban Los Angeles home, where a makeshift shrine to the megastar is growing. Meanwhile, investigators say Dr. Conrad Murray, who was with the singer during his final moments, provided useful information during three hours of questioning Saturday.
Murray was hired to tend to Jackson during his planned summer concerts in London. A lawyer for Murray told the L.A. Times he did not inject the pop star with Demerol before he died.
But many questions still remain: How much medication was Jackson taking? And did a reliance on painkillers contribute to his death?
One time spiritual advisor Deepak Chopra says in 2005 Jackson asked him for a prescription.
"He showed me a little bottle of OxyContin. I started to probe and then got to find out that he was probably seeing several doctors who were giving him narcotics," Chopra said.
Attorney Thomas Mesereau, who represented Jackson during his 2005 molestation trial says even after being acquitted, Jackson was never quite the same.
"He was not constructed, in my opinion, emotionally, for a trial like that," Mesereau said.
However, Mesereau says Jackson was a devoted father who worried about what would happen to his kids if he died prematurely. An ever increasing number of Jackson associates want to care for the children.
Jackson's longtime nanny, Grace Rawarmba, considers herself the children's mother. She is quoted in the Times of London saying that Jackson abused prescription drugs and that she "had to pump his stomach several times."
She is also quoted saying that just hours after Jackson died, his mother Katherine called her and said, "You remember Michael used to hide cash at the house? I am here. Where can it be?"
"If Grace's goal was to recreate herself from nanny to celebrity - bravo, job well done," said Jackson biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli. "But if she had hoped to maintain a relationship with his children, then that was a pretty stupid move."
The Rev. Al Sharpton is expected in Los Angeles to meet with the Jackson family about memorial plans. They could include simultaneous worldwide celebrations.

- Here's an interesting question. If the doctor found MJ in bed and his body was still warm and he had a faint pulse, why did MJ son think he was joking when he collapsed? Doesn't make sense to me.

There is one nanny out of a job.
How hard can it be to get answers from the "Doctor"?
Show the perscriptions you made out to Michael.
Show your present inventory.
Show the inventory you brought into the home.
I would suspect any GOOD doctor could do that.
Meanwhile, Deepak Chopra continues to be a joke
like some foreign "doctors" that have come into
the U.S.
Ummm...Doc's don't have an "inventory" of drugs - they only have 'trial' packs, then prescribe based upon outcome...hence that whole little 'pharmacy' trade? - Reply to this comment

- I can't believe M.J. waited before he was 400 Million dollars in debt before deciding to do something about it. With 300 million citizens in the USA, that comes to $1.33 that each of us will have to absorb for just one person. There are fortune 500 companies that considered a single million dollar loss as staggering! One thing is clear, M.J. didn't know much about mananging money. From what I can tell, he wasn't good at many other things, too. What a poor role model he was for the fans!!

- MJ's Mother at his house before the body was even cold and LOOKING FOR MONEY! This will be the theme for the next several years. EVERYONE will want those three kids so they have access to the money. What a pathetic lot of people the Jackson family have become...

Question: Father, Joe Jackson, The Right Reverend Jesse Jackson, The Other Reverend Al Sharpton... a father, and 2 "men of God". Where were they when Michael needed some REAL help?
Answer: Nowhere helping him. So why go through the act now?
You already know the answer.....
There wasn't enough publicity BEFORE he dropped dead, but there's money to be made now that he's horizontal. - Reply to this comment
- Pump his stomach????? That is not exactly standard duty for a nanny.

- Why are there TWO different accounts? Two official accounts. One has Michael collapsing on the floor in front of his son, and then his Dr frantically trying to revive him. The 2nd has his Dr "Just happening to find him in bed". The official 911 call has a male saying that he is on the bed receiving CPR (what Dr does compressions on a bed?) So what happened? How do they reconcile these inconsistencies?
" Michael Jackson's eldest son thought his father was joking around when he collapsed on the living-room floor ? but soon stood "in a trance" as the King of Pop's personal doctor frantically tried to revive him, a family confidant told the New York Post.
"The horror of it all is that Prince thought his dad was just being his dad and clowning, but it was real, and he watched as they worked on him," said Stacy Brown, a Jackson family biographer who has spoken extensively to the Jackson's relatives since he died Thursday.
Then you have:
" Chernoff told the AP that Murray was at the pop icon's rented mansion on Thursday afternoon when he discovered Jackson in bed and not breathing. The doctor immediately began administering CPR, Chernoff said.
"He just happened to find him in his bed, and he wasn't breathing," the lawyer said. "Mr. Jackson was still warm and had a pulse."
So he collapsed in the living room- they "frantically " tried to revive him and then at some point felt itd be best to put him inbed and let his Dr " just happen to find him" ? That dog dont hunt. - Reply to this comment
- Katherine Jackson & Joe Jackson are Micheal's abusers over the years, That family has survived in style as long as Michael made them money. God please see that these crappy parents die without a cent. Read the true stories of Micheal's upbringing and you see these people are responsibly for the mental anguish Michael has dealt with for years These people are pure trash.

Agreed...this woman has no morals, manners, values, tact or class and could care less about the children (considered herself "The Mother'??? C'mon!) - Was he weird, off balance and emotionally struggling? definitely - pedophile? seriously, I dunno - The jury aquitted himbased on lack of evidence - if he was not guilty, that would screw a guy up based on public scrutiny alone. just sayin'. I wasn't there to witness, so I have no say, but it wouldn't be the first time someone was wrongfully accused and suffered the repricussions of public scorn/humiliation, especially if looking for a big $ payout - maybe he did...but maybe he didn't. Hollywood is all drama especially when they're not 'acting' - so pathetic and sad. This woman is no different - it's really none of her business to report to the press what his grieving Mother asks for...but I seriously doubt she would ask the 'nanny'. - Reply to this comment

- It sounds as though this was one dysfunctional family unit, huh? Duh! How many nannies do you that are able to pump someone's stomach out. I wonder who taught her and how, and under what circumstances in the past. All I can say is "Somebody, please save those children from this messed up bunch"!

- Obama is using the death of M Jackson as a smokescreen to get an unbelievably horrible "environmental" bill passed.
Millions in India and China are buying cars and polluting at a rate far greater than the US--but will be taxed to death and paying triple the cost for electricty for no reason with "cap and trade." It's not about the environment... we're talking Washington DC here... it's about money and power as usual no matter who is in power.
Forget get M Jackson, he's dead. Get on the phone and call the White House and tell Obama you think he is insane.

- GUESS WHAT FOLKS! URGENT!
MICHAEL DID NOT COMMIT CHILD MOLESTATION!
On Friday, Michael's accuser Evan Chandler (now an adult) confessed that his father lied and coached him to lie.
YOU WANT PROOF. Go to: http://trashselector.com/evan-chandler-i-lied-for-my-father-im-sorry-michael/
I warned on several blogs that the people who have delighted in "cutting Michael to pieces" had better stop if they believe in a Supreme Being. Now, the truth is out. People who love to cast stones in the name of religion and spew hatred are going to a very very hot place.
IT'S INTERESTING THAT NO MENTION OF THIS CONFESSION IS ON THE NEWS AND CABLE!! - Reply to this comment

- To 2telltruth:
I can appreciate your support and passion for Mr. Jackson. Only God knows what he has done, and not, in this lifetime. For anyone to say anyone is going to heaven or hell, is only speculation. Truth, Mr. Jackson led a full but somewhat disappointing life which ended maybe at an inopportunistic time, but I believe at the appointed time. Once again, God is the only one with that answer. I hope you get over the loss of your friend. I am sorry for anyone that dies, especially under circumstances that lead to so much supposition. My only concern right now is for the children. Everyone else can fend for themselves.
- If this was real- we'd be finding out on CNN - not buried in some news comment section. Looks more like a bogus story planted by a starstruck fan - and if THATS the case shame on whoever perpetrated a hoax confession. 1. Because if Jackson IS guilty- its bad enough that his victim's predator is achieving god-like status and 2. If jackson is guilty, then the victim is being blatantly defamed to give MJ even MORE god status. If he didnt grab his crotch and sing 20 years ago he'd just be another level 1 sex offender im afraid.
- although i agree that legally michael jackson was never found guilty of child molestation, he was however found guilty in the court of public opinion in the same fashion as oj. i don't believe everything i hear or read so i am a little skeptical about this. also the article stated that the accusers name is jordon chandler, not evan. being a fan, i hope that if this story is true, and that everyone hears about it and clears michaels name, and that jordan chandler is convicted of purgery along with his father.

- As news of Jackson's death came in, nearly every broadcast station cut away from regular programming to report on the sudden events. The cable channels stayed with the story almost exclusively for the next few days. Other news topics were ignored, although there wasn't much to report about Jackson, other than he most likely died of cardiac arrest. The rumor that drugs played a part in his death came in slowly, but we had heard drug rumors when he was alive. Once this issue was explored, the media spent hours looking for news that wasn't there.
To say the media was unprepared is an understatement. The biggest news that came out was that people were originally putting flowers on the wrong star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The pop icon's star was covered up by a red carpet for a premier of Sasha Baron Cohen's movie "Bruno". 73-year-old English-born radio personality Michael Jackson's star covered by flowers and surrounded by fans of the other, more famous Michael Jackson. Of course, the dead Michael Jackson happened to be more famous than anyone.
No matter what you may think of his private life, the eccentric oddball with the common name was anything but. The lawsuits and legal settlements which caused embarrassment but never a conviction for anything, are a thing of the past. His fans are numerous, and he is even bigger in other parts of the world. There are those who haven't forgotten the scandals that plagued Jackson over the latter part of his life, and many people believe he is guilty of something. But there's no denying his popularity, and in death, Michael Jackson is being remembered for his groundbreaking musical career.
