News about him isn't going to be over or slow down for a long time. His children are probably going to be grown up before his estate is settled, and the rumours that are still going to come and go. Some people are going to look at his death as the death of a God. Which he isn't, but people being the way they are.

reminds me of a bank...doesn't actually have enough money if everyone were to ask for theirs at once.

thanks wiccantexan for that link.
what is it about celebrity deaths that always, without fail, brings out conspiracy theories?
interesting...

I don't think there's any conspiracy theory at this point, it's just suspicious that the doctor who was present disappeared, especially since it's been reported that a dose of Demerol was given about an hour before the crisis. Malpractice, anyone?
