Hi guys,
Stumbled upon this site while I was doing my “research”. I have never seen this theory abt his death/”death” before, thus posting it up here to share as I think it makes a bit of sense. As for the credibility of the source, I can only say 50-50 on my side. =p (because I would want to believe that MJ is still alive!)

MICHAEL Jackson accidentally killed himself while trying to become sick enough to cancel upcoming concerts, a prominent author claims.
Author Gerald Posner, who also writes for The Daily Beast, claims that a top member of the pop singer’s entourage told him that Jackson wanted to cancel several shows without having to pay out his touring company.
According to the advisor, who was not named in the report, Jackson intentionally took a large amount of prescription drugs to induce a trip to hospital.
“Like a child who doesn’t want to go to school… Michael thought he could get away from his obligations if he had a 'note from the doctor',” the advisor reportedly said.
Jackson's contract with the company handling the 50-show tour stated that if the singer cancelled any concert, he would have to pay a penalty to the promoters, according to The Daily Beast.
But most contracts have a medical infirmity clause, whereby if a performer is hospitalised no penalty needs to be paid.
It was also reported that at least six other sources supported the claim that Jackson was looking for ways to reduce the number of concerts.
The advisor also said that Jackson's use of painkillers had increased over the past decade and he believed the performer mixed his pills in order to be sick enough to go to hospital.
The pop singer died last Friday and questions still surround his doctor's involvement in prescribing him painkillers.
Posner has published 10 books examining a variety of subjects including the JFK assassination; the history of Motown; and the relationship between the US and Saudi Arabia.
His books, based on controversial subjects, have been highly praised by prominent reviewers and experts from around the world.
