Former television sex symbol Farrah Fawcett, 62, passed away this morning at Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica. She had been battling anal cancer since 2006 before it metastasized to her liver. Ironically, she accepted longtime beau Ryan O’ Neill’s proposal of marriage earlier this month.
Also today, pop star Michael Jackson died at the age of 50. Jackson suffered a heart attack in his rented Bel-Air home and was rushed to UCLA Medical Center, where paramedics were unable to revive him. The news comes as he was attempting a comeback after years of tabloid headlines, most notably his trial and acquittal on child molestation charges.
Jackson family attorney, Brian Oxman, gave interviews today stating he was “heartbroken” and concerned that Michael’s “abuse” of prescription medication could be fatal. Oxman further stated if one day Michael ended up dead, then he would speak out “loud and clear about what he saw about the abuse of medications and the people that enabled him.”
It will be interesting to see what happens with the three children and his estate.
I will not be surprised to learn that Michael jackson was abusing drugs…it seems that tinsel town residents are so
easilly swayed by money and availibility of prescription medication…It reminds me of Elvis and
his addiction problems…and of course…his demise…such a shame to see talent wasted wallowing in the
“valley of the Dolls”.
I find it sad that michael jackson’s death has overshadowed farrah fawcets
passing…she too…has quite a legacy
for all of us to remember…
Looks like another case of MEDICAL ENABLERS. I guess one can buy anything from anybody if one has enough money.
Mr. Jackson had a sad, abnormal life without a proper childhood. Rest in peace.
