The world stopped when Michael Jackson died, but for many, the official story just doesn’t add up. While the medical report cites a lethal cocktail of painkillers administered by his physician, fans and theorists suspect darker forces were at play. A star of his magnitude rarely vanishes without a swirl of rumors involving money, power, and secrecy. Here are the most compelling and crazy theories surrounding the King of Pop’s death.<\/span><\/p>\n

His Daughter Believes It Was Murder\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In a shocking 2017 interview with <\/span>Rolling Stone<\/span><\/i>, MJ’s daughter Paris Jackson explicitly stated her belief that her father was murdered. She described his death as a “calculated” setup by unnamed enemies, insisting that many people wanted him out of the picture. While she didn’t name specific culprits, her conviction has led internet sleuths to suspect that powerful secret societies, possibly even the Illuminati, orchestrated the hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

His Business Associates Worked Him to Death\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

LaToya Jackson rejects the wilder sci-fi theories, pointing instead to cold, hard greed. She alleges that Jackson\u2019s final business adviser, Dr. Tohme Tohme, isolated the frail singer and worked him into the ground to seize control of his lucrative publishing catalog and estate. According to LaToya, Michael himself feared for his life, believing he was being slowly “murdered” for his financial assets by the very people managing his comeback.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Will Was a Forgery\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A major point of contention for the Jackson siblings is the validity of Michael\u2019s will, which they claim is a total fraud. Janet, Jermaine, and others argue the document was signed in Los Angeles on a date when Michael was verifiably in New York City. They accused his lawyers of forging the signature to steal the estate, claiming Michael explicitly despised the men now in charge and wanted them nowhere near his legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The King of Pop Faked His Death\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most enduring theory is that the King of Pop pulled off the ultimate disappearing act and is still alive today. Believers point to discrepancies between ambulance photos and the gruesome details of the coroner’s report, as well as the family\u2019s decision to have a closed-casket funeral. Adding fuel to the fire is the strange fact that neither his personal physician nor the coroner initially signed the death certificate, suggesting to some that there was no body to certify.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
