MJ's death edit
On August 28, 2009, the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner concluded that Jackson's death was a homicide.[2] Jackson had been administered propofol and anti-anxiety benzodiazepines lorazepam and midazolam by his doctor.[3] Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011, and was released in 2013 after serving two years of his four-year prison sentence with time off for good behavior.[4][5]
Jackson's death triggered reactions around the world, creating unprecedented surges of Internet traffic and a spike in sales of his music.[6] He had been preparing for a series of comeback concerts at London's O2 Arena from July 2009 to March 2010.[7] A televised memorial service, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, was viewed by an estimated 2.5 billion people globally.[8][9][10] In 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signed a US$250 million deal with Jackson's estate to retain distribution rights to his recordings up until 2017 and to release seven posthumous albums over the decade following his death.[11][12] 188.48.124.247 (talk) 15:58, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

Lack of information regarding prior hours to Michael's death edit
"The rehearsals went past midnight, The next morning Jackson did not come out of his bedroom". Are we not going to mention the fact Michael had been up for 10 hours after midnight? This gives the reader a false impression. At 1:00am Michael arrives back at his home in Holmy Hills, at 2:00am a Valium pill was administered, Other drugs through IV and at 10:40am when the lethal dose of Propofol was administered. Why is this crucial information left out of this article? --Aaron106 (talk) 22:47, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Fox News line - more of a dig at Fox New? edit
"Fox News said that this confirmed rumors that Jackson was emaciated," In context, this seems more like a dig at Fox News' poor reporting standards than it having anything to do with the article. Any objections to me removing this? --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 22:51, 17 August 2022 (UTC)
Michael Jackson died 14 years ago. edit
The death date for Michael Jackson still says 13 years ago. It is past when he was pronounced dead. Please fix this. Sosatheif (talk) 21:33, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
2.5 Billion Viewed Funeral Online edit
The sources I can find, including the one cited, seem to be pulling this information from the article, so it’s a circular source issue as far as I can tell. I can’t find a worldwide number, but this article (https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/nielsen-31-million-viewers-watched-51848/amp/) suggests an estimate of about 1 billion.

Accusations of Conspiracy edit
I think we should create an 'Accusations of Conspiracy' (or similar named) section
Paris Jackson (daughter) said in 2017 to Rolling Stone Magazine that she believes there was a group who secretly planned on, and succeeded in, killing Michael. While lacking data-based evidence, this claim is certainly worthy of consideration. At least one prominent pop artist, Kanye West, has made allusions to the deaths of Michael Jackson and Prince as a product of being misprescribed medications that would actually dull/dement/kill - the inference seems to be that these events were/are intentional.
Indeed, if allegations of sexual misconduct were levelled at Michael to bring down his level of influence (say, following the use of lyrics/ideas in his songs which went against the current World Order), and those failed to do so, killing Michael would be one of few solutions left - and the most simple. While hypothetical, this happens and has happened to artists such as the aforementioned Kanye (Ye) West.
The section should be focused on claims which are rational (possible, even if against mainstream thought) and not abstract (such as supernatural explanations). Indeed, on the Ranker webpage for Conspiracies on Michael Jackson's death, there is clear support for some theories and not for others.
