Things like this always bug me when a big famous person dies. I always wonder why there isn't more public photos when people of this stature die? To my knowledge, there is only the one known photo where Michael is either already dead or is very near death. Here is one of the most photographed people of anyone on earth and yet when he surprisingly passes, there is only 1 rather inconclusive photo of him dead or dying.
Okay, I know its probably respectful not to photograph celebrities due to causing more grief to the family. But I don't know how many times I've seen other celebrities with clear evidence of death with photos that left no doubt. Are their families less in need of this "dignity"?
Remember Elvis? Sure you do. How many photos did you see of him being dead? I only recall 1. And there is doubt hanging over that photo. And what have we had almost ever since? Elvis sightings and Elvis is not dead theories. Wouldn't some more photos help convince those with questions that the man is truly dead? How long will it be before we have the "Michael Jackson is alive" stories?
Casket was closed. Heck, he was presumed buried the night before his funeral and the casket at the funeral was supposedly rumored empty! Where is the photos of Michael in the casket?!!! Why all the secrecy?
Look, I'm not trying to make up theories that Michael Jackson is not dead. I'm not saying that. And I'm not saying that their isn't photos out there that exist of Michael being dead. I'm sure there is. I'm just saying, this was a highly photographed famous individual. He also had a completely checkered past. When there is really a lack of convincing evidence, it leaves room open for theories to abound. Sometimes there should be avenues to prove to everybody who questions...."the man is dead" to have an avenue to find it. Doesn't mean it needs to be on the news or in magazines. It just needs to be available for those who do want to see. Maybe it brings closure to them that what is reported is true.
I don't know. All I know is it bothers me that suddenly this man had no one take pictures of him once he died. Either with real cameras or cell phone cameras. Whatever. I cannot believe there isn't more. It just bothers me their isn't.
And no, I'm not into the hoopla of Michael Jackson. I'm personally sick of it. But these things always bother me when there is no further photographs than what we've been allowed to see.
Princess Diana comes to mind too. Although I have seen a photo of her in the car before passing. I have seen none of her once she passed.
And although I am certain she is dead, just as I am certain Dale Earnhardt is dead. I find it amazing that I can find NO Photos of him being taken from his car after he crashed! There was nearly 200,000 people in the stands! You mean to tell me no one has photos of him being exhumed from his vehicle that killed him?
!!! I KNOW he is dead and the autopsy photos were blocked and I'm fine with that. I just get amazed when moments like this happen, that no one has photos. It just baffles me I guess.
