If Michael Jackson didn't get the cardiac arrest and was taken off some of them a few days ago his heart would still be irreparably damaged, it just mightn't be noticed until years later. It takes a lot of abuse for a fine healthy man to get a cardiac arrest like that. This was clearly death by pharmaceutical drugs and we'd never hear of many people who aren't celebrities dying like this, they have a lot of blood on their hands.
Jackson died from an overdose of painkillers and/ or stimulants.

I had a lot of probs with this stuff before and am not off that long at all.

When you love doing something and the body is in pain you could use them.The pain killers obviously kill the pain (mask it in reality) and the stimulants give the body a kick start but have to be taking over and over.

In Jacksons case at 50 years old there is no way he could do 50 shows that he was intending without artificial help.When you take into account the fact that he was in financila difficulties then he had to do those shows.I reckon the accumulative stresses from all angles caused him to have a heart attack.Alot of pain killers and stims cause dehydration and rapid irregular heart beats too,both whcih can contribute to heart attacks.

It was only a matter of when it would happen,
