It isn't unbelievable at all. The only thing unbelievable is that so many of the so-called experts and "friends" of Michael are showing up on TV to express shock. The guy was a time bomb ready to explode. I am sure we will be hearing a lot about his abuse of prescription drugs. A newspaper in the UK also reported that he collapsed right after an injection of Demerol (a powerful sedative) slowed his breathing and he experienced respiratory collapse. His last trial accusing him of molesting more boys showed him to be so frail he needed assistance to walk. Even though he at one time was "married" to Elvis' daughter, Lisa Marie, he apparently never read anything about "The King" and how people close to him enabled and even encouraged his drug dependency.
I think that Michael was a true original and a talented man, but he was a victim of his demons just like so many people before him, who achieved fame and fortune. Speaking of which, the current estimate is that he left debts of over $400 million and that figure could go higher.
