Next, the coroner's report on the autopsy result versus a hired, indepedent autopsy by the Jackson family (as a way to possibly counter any embarrassing findings by the state coroner?).
Report: 2nd autopsy completed on Jackson - Michael Jackson- msnbc.com

And then hear more things like MJ's kids are not his?

:shock:

The drama unfolds.
How many, er, skeletons will come out of this death?
 
TMZ is also the first media agency to report his death. It took about three hours for CNN to confirm it as the national news networks such as NBC and ABC waited for two hours to do the same.
 
That is because TMZ reported it prior to confirmation from the hospital. More responsible news agencies waited for confirmation, as is prudent in reporting a death.

A second autopsy has not been completed. The first autopsy has not even been completed.

The rest is nothing more than gossip mongering.

But then, I'd expect nothing less from the OP. It seems the OP is incapable of representing fact and distinguishing it from rumor.

TMZ got a tip about his death from one of cardiologists inside the hospital FYI.

They probably pay him $1.00 a day as an informant.:lol:

Point being, they still reported it before confirmation.

I am inclined to agree with Debbie Rowe about the oldest two kids. They look so white. The third kid does look biracal. Now I wonder exactly why MJ had the kids' faces covered.

Same reason many celebs shield their children from the media and photographs.

That was my thinking years ago. Now I see the first two kids don't look biracal and wondering if MJ was hiding that fact as well. Just wondering.

Dominant alleles always mask recessive genes, never ignore science like that at times like this. The racial phenotypes might not be seen, but the children always have the possibility of passing down the genotype should they really carry Jackson's DNA.

It's better to have the facts first than to jump the gun.
Plus the man is dead already! I guess what I'm trying to say is, never judge a book by its cover.

I don't look bi-racial. Doesn't mean I'm not. I have a good friend with a bi-racial daughter who has blond hair and green eyes, and light complexion. And I know for a fact that she is bi-racial because her mother is black.

we're not talking about you or your friend. Try to stay on topic. This is about Michael Jackson. Do you acknowledge the fact that there is a person who hates his own race?

Nope, don't acknowledge anything of the kind. And my response was to another poster on the remarks regarding not "looking bi-racial", so were completely pertinent and on topic.

In that case, Debbie Rowe can request for DNA testing to back her up.

I agree. Due to the fact that the Media said that she has stated they are not her children. She also supposedly stated that she does not want them.

Could be a way to keep her contract, she has with MJ. The payoff she received.
 
I'm not surprised that TMZ got the information fast. They probably offer a lot of money for information.
