That's gonna keep the conspiracy nuts going for decades.

Oh yes there has to be something more in this. A man who has been very fit throughout his life, who no doubt has access to great medical treatment and most likely would have been required to undergo a medical for the insurance for the O2 gigs ( Although there is some doubt about how much insurance there is) doesn't just drop dead from heart failure.

See: Douglas Adams.

(And there was a 4 and a half hour medical in March for the O2 gigs.)

Ha, yeah, there's certainly going to be a few wild ones going around. Next they'll even say that we never went to the Moon.

But having read a load of further stuff, it seems he was given an accidental OD by his doctor. Apparently his breathing got slower and slower until it stopped completely. I really don't want to be that doctor right now! Or AEG. Or their insurance company. Yikes.

Okay that seems reasonable.

But...

What was the medication for in the first place?

I read that this doctor actually lived there with him. Why?

Medication was Demerol, which seems to be a morphine substitute. Which he supposedly got addicted to after the Pepsi ad. As to why he's still on it, and why the doctor lived with him ... well, the doctor living there could be as simple as a precaution stipulated in his contract. Like I remember an interview with Rowan Atkinson, saying that the insurance for Mr Bean's Holiday meant that he couldn't do certain things for x-months before and during filming, notably racing his collection of sports cars.

I've always said Pepsi is evil...

That all also seems very reasonable.

You could have put in a twist somewhere though.

The doctor is in his will?

Welllll... maybe the doctor was paid off by a flat Earther/Scientology/anti-Moon-landing conglomerate.

Ooh, yes. Much better!

Now we're getting somewhere.

Absolutely no way !

I know for a fact that that doctor was the only survivor of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on 9/11 and as such Michael Jackson regarded him as as lucky token especially as the doctor's daughter found a four leaf clover on the grassy knoll on the very day that the second moon landing happened !

I was told that by the security guard in Asda so it must be true !

;)

I can't stand conspiracy theories either.
My motto is:
'Question nothing and everything'll be fine anyway.'
I saw it on a crop circle a few years ago.

Bollocks!

Christ, everyone knows that it's Tesco Security Guards that have all the best info!

The one at my local used to live at Roswell, and his dad actually saw the alien body under a sheet on a trolly at area 51. Then they got chased by the media and ended up living in Memphis, where he became an undercover plumber and actually fixed the bog Elvis died on the day beforehand.

He's living in a caravan in Rhyl with Richey James, Kurt Cobain and Glen Miller, selling off bits of the planet to the Greys to further his own nefarious plans. I'm tellin you the truth. It's the f**kin truth, lad!

As if the poor bastard didn't have enough bad luck on his plate already, eh?
