I'm having flashbacks to the interest around MJ's death here. Remember, it was cardiac arrest/heart attack or natural causes at first too before we started getting a more complete picture.
This may be nothing, it's way too early to tell, but you know the old saying: where there's smoke, something's burning.

From an AP story: So SNL decides to remove the sketch (essentially, doing the right thing), and that causes people to complain? The sketch was done before her death so you really cant say the sketch was tasteless to begin with. Look....all jokes about Michael Jackson being a pedophile were good until the man died. It isn't tasteless if the guy has not died yet. That is the only thing that bothers me about it. Otherwise, I understand a sketch about someone who just died may be in poor taste.

This'll sound bad but I'm just glad it's not Alicia Silverstone. Don't get me wrong, it's sad, but my brother came home and said "the blonde chick from Clueless died."
To my knowledge, "natural causes" refers to no foul play or obvious drug overdose. IIRC, it was said Michael died of a heart attack and not the umbrella term of "natural causes."
For the record, I never found the MJ pedophile jokes funny.

For the record, I never found the MJ pedophile jokes funny. Right, heart attack/cardiac arrest was the initial cause for MJ. And frankly, I've actually gotten more sensitive to the MJ jokes since he died, partially because it's inappropriate given nothing was ever proven, partially because maybe my own guilt for making jokes about MJ. Never about the allegations, specifically, just his behavior. Back on topic, word I heard is the initial autopsy on Murphy is clean, so waiting for toxicology. I was wondering if anorexia was a cause, but I suppose evidence of that would have been found initially. But would also rule out diabetes. So wonder what happened here.

My friend says that all the time, good laugh. Thanks, we needed a light moment. Wasn't really going for a laugh. Guess I'm glad I made you smile tho? I know, but it made me feel better none the less.
