His latest contribution Footsteps follows the path of its predecessors by being a work of lyrical art. As quoted in the album’s sleeve “Inside this record you will find some of the songs that I have always loved to sing and that inspired me to become the performer and the songwriter I am today. Recorded in the studio with orchestra, band or just a guitar they represent the footsteps that I took on a musical journey that started as a dream and has gone further than I could ever of [sic] imagined.” His career includes 17 studio albums and LP sales in excess of 45 million.

We saw hundreds of headlines saying “Micheal Jackson Dead“, and most of them reported that it was due to a cardiac arrest. Craig Harvey, spokesperson for the coroner’s office reported that an autopsy had been performed successfully and results would only be finalised in 4 to 6 weeks. Harrvey did report that thus far there were no signs of foul play.

CNN reported the following:

A car that Murray had parked at Jackson’s home was impounded and may contain medications pertinent to the investigation, said Detective Agustin Villanueva of the Los Angeles Police Department.

Public records show the impounded car was registered to a Texas woman who is an associate of the cardiologist, who works in Houston, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada, and is licensed in California.

CNN’s calls to Murray’s office were not returned Friday.

Jackson was in cardiac arrest when paramedics took him Thursday from his home to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where the music idol was pronounced dead at 2:26 p.m. (5:26 p.m. ET).

In a 911 call released Friday, an unidentified caller told a dispatcher to send help. He told the dispatcher that Jackson was not breathing and Jackson’s doctor was performing CPR on a bed.

Personally, I’m not too sure what to think about all of this. It’s incredibly sad that such investigations need to be done – It must be incredibly hard on Michael’s poor family.
