MJ Fans: What if Micheal Jackson is still alive?

It was a busy working day morning, I heard it in patches, as i darted from one room to the other, a typical scene of rush hour. The TV was on, news channels got the privilege to be guests in our house, if none of the cartoons channels were being shown! That day, we had the news channel on, for a change! And what I heard in patches, drew me to the living room and I stood there, transfixed. I hear thus: Pop King Micheal Jackson was no more (It hurts to hear and use the word DEAD. I rather use the words 'no more').

How could it be? He is too young to leave the world! And I never heard him of ailing of any life threatening illness plaguing MJ! None of the news channels blaring his sad demise ever said MJ was counting his days on earth! But it was being stated we have lost Micheal Jackson!

He was not my pin up poster in my bedroom (or bathroom either). He was not my fashion role model (ahem!), he was not my role model in life (complicated than i was!) ... So what was i going to miss if NJ was no more. What i admired in him - He was like a thunder storm in the music world! He was talked about! He made an impact which even Elvis Presley did not make!
Micheal Jackson made a GLOBAL impact! He was heard, seen, imitated, danced like and even looked alike from Arizona to Sahara, from the Alps across the Himalayas, from Washington to Tokyo. That is what I would miss of MJ!

As the day rolled by, there were pages and pages of stories about MJ's past, childhood, father-son breakdown in relationship, about his children, his upcoming world tour, his doctor acting funny, his dad asking for a post mortem thrice....and above all his impending debt of USD 5 billion (I am as precise as any other news channel. You could have watched a different channel and your estimate of MJ's debt could vary from mine. Excuse moi!). I did have lots of work to reel out yet I found a strange theory taking shape in my complicated mind! The theory had only questions like:
- Who saw MJ dying?
- What is MJ is very much alive?
- Can it not be possible, what they are showing in the glass coffin is a wax statue from Madam Tussuad's?
- Why did his doctor not come an meet the press?
- Why is his father asking for post mortem thrice and that too being made public?
- What if MJ is alive and is living in a farm house in Australia?
- Why can it not be possible that the King of a particular nation in middle east has given him a palace to stay and MJ is now wearing the Arab attire and moving around like a freeman?

Now, you may think WHY would the above even happen? Too much fictitious! My question is: Why cant it happen? Why cant MJ be alive and living in anonymity and pass away at an old age?

Look, he had mounting debt. His health was fragile. His company had soled tickets for all his shows in the upcoming world tour. His family were always for his wealth. the tour was round the corner. MJ's failing health might have made it impossible for him to complete the tour, that would have made his debts soar higher! With no health and wealth, would his company, friends, family, want MJ to be around. They must have asked him to sign on his will and also on a legal piece of paper stating they can declare him not alive and he would move into oblivion. He will not surface again as MJ. He would be given sufficient funds to take him though his rest of life. He should give them full rights to sell his albums, come out with more releases of his old/new numbers and let them mint money of his death. What for? to clear all his existing debts and also to refund the tour tickets.

This could be true or an absurd theory. But going by the numerous stories/versions/theories surrounding his death, my theory too can be considered and thought through. Whether it gets the "Best Theory Award" or is laughed at, I don't care!

Take it as a last minute wish of an admirer of MJ's global image, to believe he is alive! :)
