Kimbo Slice Had An Enlarged Heart Prior To Cardiac Arrest

Kimbo Slice

This is a follow up to yesterday's article "42-Year-Old MMA Star Kimbo Slice Dies From Fatal Heart Attack In Florida." The Judiciary Report has been warning athletes for years to stop taking steroids, due to the adverse, life threatening, far reaching effects of ingesting banned substances (see "related articles" section at the bottom of this article).

A month prior to Kimbo Slice's death, the site made reference to steroids in the May 17, 2016 Judiciary Report article "Boxer Alexander Povetkin Testing Positive For Steroids Causes Cancellation Of Deontay Wilder Fight And Possible Lawsuits" which stated, "Meldonium (banned substance) increases strength, stamina and endurance, which means the heart is working harder than it normally would, via increased levels of hyperactivity, if the drug was not present in the healthy person's system. This risk is multiplied in a heavyweight, as the heart already works harder in larger people. Speeding up its processes with an artificial drug, magnifies any negative effects. One of them being an enlarged heart, which if left unchecked can lead to an early death." 

One month after the Judiciary Report's aforementioned article, the Local 10 News channel in Miami, Florida stated Kimbo Slice had developed an "enlarged heart" which resulted in a fatal heart attack on on Monday, June 6, 2016 (see "Story Source" for this week's Local 10 News article). Some pharmaceutical drugs, if taken to excess, initiates liver damage in approximately 24-hours (Acetaminophen is a very good pain reliever, especially for athletes, but if you exceed the permitted daily dosage it will quickly create liver damage). Heavy duty anabolic steroids damage the heart, liver and kidneys. Taking steroids for a few years of undue fame, fortune and glory, only to catastrophically fall and die young is not worth it. 

I find it highly irresponsible that some so-called fitness websites and social networking pages are promoting steroids use. I've also seen and know of cases regarding personal trainers promoting steroids use to clients. To "eat clean and train dirty" only to put poison in your body in the form of steroids is counterproductive and dangerous.

You can be a clean, natural and successful athlete. You have to eat properly and put in the work it requires in training. There are many athletes who do not win every time and people still love them. Decent fans appreciate an honest effort, more than an unethical, banned shortcut that cheats others of a win and cuts your life drastically short.

42-Year-Old MMA Star Kimbo Slice Dies From Fatal Heart Attack In Florida

Kimbo Slice

 

MMA star, Kimbo Slice, real name Kevin Ferguson, died last night in Coconut Creek, Florida, a city on the outskirts of Miami. Slice was hospitalized at the Northwest Medical Center, after feeling unwell and died shortly after. Reports indicate the popular MMA star had a fatal heart attack. The hospital has not released the suspected underlying cause of Slice's fatal heart attack. No official statement has been released by the medical examiner on the exact cause of Slice's early passing. An autopsy and toxicology report is expected in coming weeks.

Some on social networking are openly speculating steroids use lead to Slice's cardiac arrest, as he tested positive for the anabolic steroid Nandrolone in February, after a win against Dhaffir Harris. A number of wrestlers have died early in life from steroids use (for more information on the dangers of steroids please read: Boxer Alexander Povetkin Testing Positive For Steroids Causes Cancellation Of Deontay Wilder Fight And Possible Lawsuits). "Hollywood Illuminati" rumors are online regarding Slice's death, as he was friends with fellow Floridian, The Rock, real name Dwayne Johnson and appeared in the film series he made popular "The Scorpion King 3."

Slice is a former high school football player. He attended the University of Miami (as did The Rock). In 1997, Slice had a tryout with the Miami Dolphins, but did not make the team. Slice then became a heavyweight boxer and mixed martial artist, rising to fame in 2007. He became an online sensation, due to videos he released of himself on You Tube, fighting others in his backyard.

The videos attracted the attention of the EliteXC and then UFC, who signed him to successive deals. In 2007, Rolling Stone magazine proclaimed Slice "the king of the web brawlers" in reference to the popularity of his viral videos. Slice was scheduled to fight in London, England on July 16, 2016, as apart of a Bellator MMA show. He leaves behind a fiancée and six children.

People need to be careful in their pursuit of fame and fortune. Hollywood is full of vipers, who would have you sell your soul to the devil in exchange for fame and money, asking you to do things that damage your body, mind and soul. However, said fame and fortune is short lived and comes at a massive personal and professional price.

Leave that lifestyle alone, lest it destroys you. Take care of your health, body, mind and soul. You can make it without compromising yourself. There are no shortcuts to fame and fortune. The shortcuts are dead ends, with emphasis on the word dead. I've seen it happen to many people in music and sports.

I've seen many quickly rise under the wrong circumstances, then catastrophically fall overnight, sustaining extensive, life changing damage, from having the wrong people around them, who claimed they were so-called friends and business associates, but proved to be their undoing and downfall.

Grandson of Jimmy Carter dies in Georgia 

December 22, 2015 Last Updated at 00:57 IST - Jeremy Carter, the grandson of former President Jimmy Carter, has died near Atlanta. He was 28. The cause of death was not yet known and the case was under investigation today, Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell Jr. Told The Associated Press. The state medical examiner's office is assisting.

Jimmy Carter announced the death yesterday to the congregation of his hometown church in Plains, Georgia, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. Carter told parishioners his grandson hadn't been feeling well Saturday and went to take a nap at his family's home in Peachtree City before he died, the newspaper reported. Mowell said he was notified of the death early Sunday. Jeremy Carter is the son of Annette and Jeff Carter, who is Jimmy Carter's youngest son.

In 2005, Jeremy Carter, then 18, was sentenced to 30 days of house arrest, three years of probation and ordered to undergo drug counseling following his arrest in a Peachtree City home break-in. Police said he was caught inside the home of a former friend taking a video game console.

Authorities found less than an ounce of marijuana in a plastic bag in his shoe and smelled alcohol on his breath, The Associated Press reported at the time. Carter had originally been charged with burglary, which could have resulted in a prison sentence, but that was reduced to a misdemeanor theft charge as the result of a plea agreement, the AP reported...

Wife Of Deceased Stone Temple Pilots Singer Scott Weiland Poignantly Speaks Out About The Profoundly Negative Effect His Drug Addiction Had On Her And Their Children

 

Scott Weiland pictured with his ex-wife Mary and their two children Noah and Lucy

 

Mary Forsberg Weiland, the ex-wife of the late Stone Temple Pilots lead singer, Scott Weiland, who died of a drug overdose this week, penned a touching open letter that was published in Rolling Stone magazine, about his recent passing and the serious problems their family experienced. Mary is the mother of his two young children, Noah and Lucy, whom Weiland did not see often, due to music industry commitments he chose and a raging drug problem.

Mary writes of Weiland's transformation from "sweet Catholic school boy" to Hollywood atheist and drug addict. She states he became violent and cold. So often, Hollywood chews people up and spits them out, addicted to drugs and alcohol with mental issues developed in what has become a sick, twisted, ruthless industry of depravity. Mary expressed her wish that Weiland had spent more time with his two children. She wisely encourages other men to not make the same mistake with their own children.

STORY SOURCE

Scott Weiland's Family: 'Don't Glorify This Tragedy'

A letter from late singer’s ex-wife, Mary Weiland, on behalf of his two children

By Mary Forsberg Weiland December 7, 2015 - Scott Weiland's ex-wife has penned a candid, poignant essay on the deceased Stone Temple Pilots singer on behalf of his two children. Mary Forsberg Weiland is the mother of the late singer Scott Weiland's teenage children, Noah, 15, and Lucy, 13. She wrote this with their help in the days after his death on Dec 3rd.

December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died. It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope.

We don't want to downplay Scott's amazing talent, presence or his ability to light up any stage with brilliant electricity. So many people have been gracious enough to praise his gift. The music is here to stay. But at some point, someone needs to step up and point out that yes, this will happen again – because as a society we almost encourage it. We read awful show reviews, watch videos of artists falling down, unable to recall their lyrics streaming on a teleprompter just a few feet away. And then we click "add to cart" because what actually belongs in a hospital is now considered art.

Many of these artists have children. Children with tears in their eyes, experiencing panic because their cries go unheard. You might ask, "How were we to know? We read that he loved spending time with his children and that he'd been drug-free for years!" In reality, what you didn't want to acknowledge was a paranoid man who couldn't remember his own lyrics and who was only photographed with his children a handful of times in 15 years of fatherhood. I've always wanted to share more than anyone was comfortable with. When writing a book years ago, it pained me to sometimes gloss over so much grief and struggle, but I did what I thought was best for Noah and Lucy. I knew they would one day see and feel everything that I'd been trying to shield them from, and that they'd eventually be brave enough to say, "That mess was our father. We loved him, but a deep-rooted mix of love and disappointment made up the majority of our relationship with him."

Even after Scott and I split up, I spent countless hours trying to calm his paranoid fits, pushing him into the shower and filling him with coffee, just so that I could drop him into the audience at Noah's talent show, or Lucy's musical. Those short encounters were my attempts at giving the kids a feeling of normalcy with their dad. But anything longer would often turn into something scary and uncomfortable for them. Spending so many years immersed in Scott's multiple illnesses led to my own depression; at one point, I was misdiagnosed as bipolar. I feared the same would happen to the children. There were times that Child Protective Services did not allow him to to be alone with them.

When Scott did move on to another relationship, I hoped it would inspire him to grow. I had often encouraged him to date a "normal" girl, a woman who was also a mother, someone who had the energy that I no longer had to love him. Instead, when he remarried, the children were replaced. They were not invited to his wedding; child support checks often never arrived. Our once sweet Catholic boy refused to watch the kids participate in Christmas Eve plays because he was now an atheist. They have never set foot into his house, and they can't remember the last time they saw him on a Father's Day. I don't share this with you to cast judgment, I do so because you most likely know at least one child in the same shoes. If you do, please acknowledge them and their experience. Offer to accompany them to the father-daughter dance, or teach them to throw a football. Even the bravest girl or boy will refrain from asking for something like that; they may be ashamed, or not want to inconvenience you. Just offer – or even insist if you have to.

This is the final step in our long goodbye to Scott. Even though I felt we had no other choice, maybe we never should have let him go. Or maybe these last few years of separation were his parting gift to us – the only way he could think to soften what he knew would one day crush us deep into our souls. Over the last few years, I could hear his sadness and confusion when he'd call me late into the night, often crying about his inability to separate himself from negative people and bad choices. I won't say he can rest now, or that he's in a better place. He belongs with his children barbecuing in the backyard and waiting for a Notre Dame game to come on. We are angry and sad about this loss, but we are most devastated that he chose to give up.

Noah and Lucy never sought perfection from their dad. They just kept hoping for a little effort. If you're a parent not giving your best effort, all anyone asks is that you try just a little harder and don't give up. Progress, not perfection, is what your children are praying for. Our hope for Scott has died, but there is still hope for others. Let's choose to make this the first time we don't glorify this tragedy with talk of rock and roll and the demons that, by the way, don't have to come with it. Skip the depressing T-shirt with 1967-2015 on it – use the money to take a kid to a ballgame or out for ice cream.

The Hollywood Drug Epidemic: Stone Temple Pilots Frontman Scott Weiland Latest To Die From Drug Induced Heart Attack

Scott Weiland was addicted to crack and cocaine. He recently spoke in an interview about taking crack cocaine.

Scott Weiland, the former lead singer of the 1990s rock group the Stone Temple Pilots and the 2000's band, Velvet Revolver, has died from a drug induced heart attack. He was 48-years old. Weiland was found dead on his tour bus in Minneapolis. He was in town to perform with his new band the Wildabouts. Weiland's brother Michael also died of a drug overdose in 2007.

Whitney Houston

Weiland overdosed much like the late music legend, Whitney Houston, who died of a cocaine related heart attack at the same age. Legendary singer Michael Jackson died at age 49 from a drug overdose that led to cardiac arrest. So many people in Hollywood have overdosed due to drug and or alcohol poisoning, when they succumbed to their addictions. It has become a regular occurrence. Lives cut drastically short due to substance abuse. There exists a Hollywood drug epidemic that keeps growing worse.

 

Michael Jackson

My dad, who is one of the top musicologists in the world that has interviewed many famous recording artists over the course of decades, recently told me that a musician he had a discussion with informed him that some singers take drugs like cocaine in order to give them an extra push when they go on stage to perform, especially on tour, but end up addicted. When an artist is on the road night after night, they get tired and performances can become lackluster. So, some decide to take cocaine for energy and to put on a lively, uninhibited show. Cocaine is also often used in Hollywood as a so-called "party drug." They pass it around like candy (also referred to as "nose candy). However, it is dangerous. Either way you slice it, cocaine leads to addiction that often kills.

Police Use Taser On Man 20 Times Killing Him In Act Of Excessive Force (Video)

 

Cocaine user, Linwood Lambert, was arrested and handcuffed by police in South Boston, Virginia. Officers initially took him to the hospital for a "mental evaluation" but changed their minds and decided to arrest him for erratic behavior, despite the fact he was in cuffs. They engaged in acts that killed him in the hospital parking lot via excessive tasing. Three police officers broke the law in tasing a shackled man (Lambert) and a whopping 20 TIMES (50,000 volts per tase), which unquestionably constitutes excessive force.

As a result of said police brutality via excessive tasing, combined with the effects of the cocaine, Lambert died. The human heart was not meant to withstand such abuse. The cocaine had given his heart a walloping and the tasing did additional damage, sending Lambert into full on cardiac arrest. He died of a heart attack. Ironically, the three officers were inexplicably given a promotion.

 

Linwood Lambert

Lambert's family has filed a lawsuit against the police for $25,000,000 and issued this statement through their attorney, "Linwood Lambert, Jr.’s death was tragic and never should have happened. The police officers first encountered an unarmed and non-threatening man. They placed him in handcuffs and transported him to the hospital for medical attention. At the hospital, they repeatedly administered millions of volts of electrical shocks with a taser on an unarmed and restrained man. Despite the obvious deterioration of his medical condition from the tasing, the officers allowed Mr. Lambert to languish in the hospital parking lot, feet from the emergency department entrance. We believe the police officers violated Mr. Lambert’s constitutionally protected rights by depriving him of the medical attention he desperately needed."

What a sad and tragic tale. The three officers should be brought up on criminal charges, as their conduct led to Lambert's death. Had they not tased him 20 times he would be alive today. Tasers are not for sadistic purposes and must be used responsibly. The voltage is painful and disrupts the heart. To have tased him to that degree equals murder. What the officers did is the equivalent of electrocution.

New video shows Virginia officers used stun guns on man before

Thursday 12 November 2015 22.39 GMT - Three police officers repeatedly used stuns guns on a black man they brought to a Virginia hospital for a mental health evaluation, and the man later died in their custody, according to recently released videos in the 2013 case. The videos, first obtained by MSNBC, show the South Boston officers shocking Linwood R Lambert Jr multiple times after he kicked out police cruiser’s back window and ran to the doors of an emergency room while he was handcuffed.

Instead of taking him inside the ER, which was just steps away, officers took Lambert to jail, saying he was arrested for disorderly conduct and property damage. Upon his arrival at the jail, the 46-year-old was unresponsive. An ambulance brought him back to the same ER and he was pronounced dead at the hospital, about an hour after he was initially taken into custody. Lambert’s family filed a $25m lawsuit in April, accusing the officers of unlawfully arresting him and using “excessive, unreasonable and deadly force”.

Cissy Houston's Statement On Bobbi Kristina Brown Confirms Previous Site Claims Regarding Her Condition

Cissy Houston and Bobbi Kristina Brown

For the past three months, the Judiciary Report has stated the medical prognosis of Bobbi Kristina Brown, the daughter of the late pop singer, Whitney Houston, is very grim, as she was discovered unresponsive, facedown in a bathtub, much in the same way her mother died in 2012 (Whitney Houston’s Daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown Moved To Emory Hospital After North Fulton Hospital Delivers Grim Prognosis Due To Overdose In Bathtub).

 

Bobby Brown

For several weeks Bobbi Kristina's father, singer Bobby Brown, has insisted she is recovering from what are catastrophic neurological and organ injuries. So much so, this past weekend Brown stated to a concert audience that Bobbi Kristina is "awake" "watching me" and "breathing on her own." Brown's sister Tina also stated Bobbi Kristina is doing well, recovering and is okay.

Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown and Bobbi Brown in the 1990s

However, shortly after their statements, legendary gospel singer, Cissy Houston, told the press the grim truth that confirms the Judiciary Report's previously articles. In a statement this week Houston revealed, "I have just returned from visiting my granddaughter Bobbi Kristina in the hospital and while she is no longer in a medically induced coma she has a tracheotomy and according to the doctors she has global and irreversible brain damage and remains unresponsive. We can only trust in God for a miracle at this time. Keep us in your prayers."

My tweets from last month on the subject

"Global" means multiple regions of the brain. Therefore, one can deduce the medical insult/injury has largely damaged her brain and in this case in an "irreversible" manner. Bobbi Kristina is in a vegetative state. Most of her brain has been erased. As I stated on Twitter several weeks ago, Brown has been hiding it, proclaiming she is okay, when she is not, as the family is embarrassed over Bobbi Kristina's drug use, couple with her violent relationship with boyfriend Nick Gordon, where she was a victim of domestic violence. However, as stated before, she had an addiction to drugs and alcohol and that's not something to be ashamed of, but rather something one should seek help for.

Judge Blocks Hospital From Switching Off Life Support On Brain Dead Girl Jahi McMath For One Week (Video)

Hospital Refuses To Perform Surgery On Brain Dead Teen To Prepare Her For Nursing Home

Today, a California judge granted a last minute reprieve to the family of Jahi McMath, a 13-year-old girl, who was to be switched off life support this evening. A time extension has been granted to January 7, 2014. The Children's Hospital Oakland botched a tonsillectomy on McMath, who then began hemorrhaging and experiencing cardiac arrest.

Last week, the hospital had a local court declare McMath brain dead and petitioned for permission to switch off life support. The court granted their legal request, issuing a court order to that effect. This week, the hospital is refusing to perform a tracheotomy and the surgical insertion of a feeding tube on McMath, a prerequisite for long term care homes to accept the minor child. The hospital has stated they do not perform such procedures on patients they deem dead.

Jahi McMath

As a result, two long term care nursing homes in California reneged on their offer to accept McMath as a patient to their facility. The family has since found another nursing home in New York. However, it is still contingent on a tracheotomy being performed and feeding tube insertion.

The hospital is now stating the family needs to find a physician willing to perform the necessary surgeries to prepare McMath for a nursing home. The family has raised $27,000 on GoFundMe.com to move McMath to a nursing home.

 The Judiciary Report is of the belief, the Children's Hospital Oakland needs to perform the tracheotomy and feeding tube insertion for free, as their surgeon put McMath in this unresponsive medial state. It's the least the hospital could do, as a routine tonsillectomy should not have ended in hemorrhaging, cardiac arrest and brain death. And let's not forget, you are dealing with a child. A significant amount of sensitivity to a terrible situation needs to be utilized.

Whitney Houston's Mother Cissy Houston Talks About Rumors Surrounding Her Death

Yesterday, Gospel singer, Cissy Houston, 78, gave her first interview since the death of her award winning daughter, pop star, Whitney Houston. The 48-year-old singer died on February 11, 2012 of a cardiac episode, brought on by a cocaine overdose.

Cissy Houston slammed rumors her daughter died broke. She labeled such talk rubbish, "Whitney did not die broke ... she’s not broke. None of that crap.” Houston further stated she is "very proud" of her daughter, who "accomplished a whole lot in the short time that she had here" and "was a very wonderful person."

Cissy Houston and Whitney Houston

Whitney's mother blasted the media for their treatment of the late singer, "The media is awful…they think they know everything…these people don’t know anything about her…the media doesn’t know what they are talking about. They really chopped on her.”

Cissy also stated she does not blame herself in Whitney's death, "I know I did the best I could. I don’t blame myself. I know I did the best I could for everything.” She is right. She can't be blamed for Houston's addiction. Cissy Houston did make efforts to force her daughter into rehab, even going to court to obtain a judicial order, which she executed in the company of sheriffs, believing the pop singer's husband, Bobby Brown, would try to impede her entering rehab and recovering.

Whitney Houston and Cissy Houston

Sadly, Houston's sobriety did not last long and she returned to her vice shared with Brown, of rolling marijuana joints laced with strong crack cocaine and smoking it. This drug use ultimately killed her, deteriorating her organs.

Whitney got involved with the wrong people in the entertainment industry, full of criminals, thieves and liars, which led to an early death for her. She's not the first and won't be the last, because Hollywood refuses to heed the warnings that something very bad is upon them over their lifestyle.

Cissy Houston

To those that think drug use is harmless and nothing bad will come of it, remember individuals like Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. The two entertainers, among others, have been considered some of the most special people on earth. But no one is too special for death via a drug overdose, as that is the reality behind substance abuse.

To entertainers like Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Madonna, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, who have openly promoted drug use in interviews, songs and on social networking sites, I hope you're proud of yourselves in setting such a terrible example (sarcasm). Drugs damage real people and real families.

New Court Evidence Reveals Conrad Murray Lied About Michael Jackson Administering Fatal Dose Of Propofol

Michael Jackson

Last week, the Judiciary Report again disputed Dr. Conrad Murray's claims that the late pop singer, Michael Jackson, administered the fatal dose of the anesthetic Propofol, which led to the star's death. This week, the prosecution in Murray's manslaughter trial, presented clear cut evidence that revealed, Jackson's fingerprints were NOT on the Propofol bottles at the crimes scene. Well, that's your butt, then.

Conrad Murray

That whole lie Murray concocted and his defense team ran with, defaming a dead man in an attempt to stay out of prison, has been decimated and destroyed. Next we will hear, Jackson, who had so much to live for, namely his children that he spent so much time with and a comeback tour he was so excited about, overdosed himself, cleaned his fingerprints from all the Propofol bottles, so when he died, the police wouldn't know who did it.

Compelling testimony was also provided by hospital cardiologist, Dr. Thao Nguyen, who stated Murray lied about the drugs he gave Jackson, only mentioning Ativan and not Propofol. This sent the doctors in the emergency room in the wrong direction. Nguyen also stated, Murray did not answer her questions regarding the times the drug Ativan was administered to Jackson or when the paramedics were called to the singer's home. Murray told Nguyen, "He did not have any concept of time. He did not have a watch." Not a good trait for a doctor (Murray) to possess.

Paramedic: Michael Jackson's Life Could Have Been Saved Had Dr. Murray Called 911 Sooner

Richard Senneff

Los Angels paramedic, Richard Senneff, took the stand in the Dr. Conrad Murray manslaughter trial, in relation to the pharmaceutical drug overdose and death of pop singer, Michael Jackson. On September 30, 2011, Senneff stated the same thing Judiciary Report did two days prior on September 28, 2011 (The Lies Dr. Conrad Murray Told About Michael Jackson's Death Are Being Unraveled Via Testimony) and in previous articles as well, had Dr. Murray called 911 right away, Jackson's life could have been saved. The Judiciary Report firmly believes this.

When I was sixteen years old, I lived in a small apartment building on the second floor with my mom. One day, one of my neighbors in his twenties that lived on the first floor, collapsed on the ground in the back garden. I ran down stairs only to see him in distress, eyes open wide, not speaking, as a couple other neighbors gathered around him.

I suspected it was his heart, as he still appeared to be breathing and it did not really look like a seizure. Therefore, I did not think it was respiratory failure. I immediately ran back up the stairs and called 911. Due to his grandmother speaking Spanish and I English, I was not sure of what was going on, neither did my mom.

We started praying to Jesus to spare his life, while huddled around him and waiting for the paramedics. Shortly before the paramedics arrived, he managed to raise his upper body, while opening his eyes even wider staring at us, brought his right hand around and clutched his chest by his heart, then collapsed backward completely unresponsive. We all screamed, because it looked like he had flatlined. Moments after the paramedics arrived and rushed him to the hospital.

Miraculously, two weeks later, we saw him again, in the backyard garden of the apartment, smiling and happy, glad to be alive. By God's grace, his life was spared. He got to the hospital quickly, with the paramedics, then doctors working to restart his heart. So, it can be done.

To borrow from the Golden Girls, when the character Blanche was asked if she has ever dated a married man she replied, "Blanche Devereaux never goes out with another woman's husband. Except for that one time, but that was not my fault. She was pronounced dead. Those paramedics never give up!"

Michael Jackson

Had Dr. Murray called 911 right away, the paramedics would have worked on Jackson and rushed him to the hospital, saving his life. They deal with overdoses all the time and can successfully combat and counteract them with medication and equipment, but not if one waits until the patient is soundly dead and give them misleading information as to what caused the medical event.

Murray has no excuse. If a sixteen-year old with no medical training knew to immediately call 911 - he as a trained physician should have known better. There are well-documented stories of people of all ages calling 911 from mobile phones and receiving help, that did not know the address of where they were at the time, but emergency services were able to quickly trace the calls and pinpoint their exact location. Something sinister took place in the Jackson home that day and for justice to be served, the truth needs to come out.

This brings the Judiciary Report back to a point made last week (Holes In The Michael Jackson Death Timeline Reveals Someone Is Lying). There is something wrong with the timeline in Jackson's death. Something is off there and it is due to the misinformation Dr. Murray keeps providing. Jackson did not begin dying or die when Murray claims he did. Murray stated Jackson was still alive with a pulse, when being loaded into the ambulance. However, the Judiciary Report is of the belief, Jackson was long gone, which is why the paramedics were unsuccessful in reviving him.

Remember, Murray told police (on tape) Jackson came to him at 4:30AM demanding Propofol and has been ambiguous regarding when he administered it to him. The paramedics weren't called until 12:21PM, arriving at the home at 12:26PM, which is fairly quick. Jackson's body should not have been in the state it was in if he was still alive at the time.

People vs. Dr. Conrad Murray

Updated 9/30/11 at 8:45AM - One of the paramedics who rushed to save Michael Jackson's life at 100 N. Carolwood Drive just testified ... if Murray had called 911 immediately, Michael Jackson's life might have been saved. Richard Senneff said Murray told him he called 911 the second he realized MJ was in distress, when in fact there was an approximate 20-minute delay.

Paramedic Testifies Michael Jackson Could Have Been Saved If 9-1-1 Was Called Sooner

Posted on Sep 30, 2011 @ 10:15AM - In stunning testimony Friday a paramedic claimed that he could of saved Michael Jackson’s life, if Dr. Conrad Murray had called 9-1-1 immediately after discovering the singer’s lifeless body.

On The Second Anniversary Of Michael Jackson’s Death What Has Hollywood Learned?

Director John Hughes Has Died

John Hughes

As someone who was a child in the 1980's, I can tell you, director John Hughes' films were everywhere. He passed away today in Manhattan from a heart attack. He was 59. Another Hollywood icon has died.

My favorite John Hughes film is "Home Alone 2" which was made in 1992. Just a few weeks ago, it was broadcast on television again, I watched it with my family and laughed. Good storytelling is timeless. Something that does not really exist in Hollywood anymore.

He also made other notable films I enjoyed such as Dennis the Menace, Curly Sue, 101 Dalmatians, Baby's Day Out and Beethoven.

Other films teenagers remember him for are Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Some Kind of Wonderful.

NEW YORK — Writer-director John Hughes, Hollywood's youth impresario of the 1980s and '90s who captured the teen and preteen market with such favorites as "Home Alone," "The Breakfast Club" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off," died Thursday, a spokeswoman said. He was 59.

Man Arrested For Mafia Tactics On Punk Rock

Suge Knight has company

Elgin Nathan James, the head of a street gang that routinely beat up singers, musicians and fans on the Chicago punk rock scene, has been arrested and indicted by the FBI. James beat and attempted to extort money from singers and musicians, illegally controlling that sector of the music industry in said city.

A cooperating witness he attacked, furnished the FBI with evidence of criminal misconduct via a surveillance sting that caught everything on tape. James now faces the possibility of 20 years in prison.

Gang leader charged in scheme to control punk rock

Wed Jul 15, 10:11 am ET - CHICAGO (Reuters) – The founder of a street gang that administered beatings and made threats in its drive to control the punk rock music scene has been charged with extorting a Chicago performer, authorities said on Tuesday.

Elgin Nathan James, a self-proclaimed founding member of Boston-based FSU -- which stands for "Friends Stand United" -- was arrested on Monday by FBI agents at his Los Angeles home. The attempted extortion charge was then unsealed by the prosecutor's office in Chicago.

FSU boasted in videos dating to 2004 about beatings it administered to punk music fans and performers. The aim was to establish control at clubs and concert venues and drive "Nazi skinheads" out, according to prosecutors...

If convicted, James could face 20 years in prison.

What Kind Of Life Did Michael Jackson Really Have

Yesterday, I rhetorically wondered a few times, what kind of life the late pop singer Michael Jackson really had. What real quality of life did he have during his 50-years.

I would not have wanted to be him. I don't mean it derisively, but his fame was so out of control for decades, it turned into hero worship, though he was a flawed human being, just like everyone else.

Who could live up to such expectations, after all, as human beings, we are mere mortals, not God. As people, we are prone to error.

Throw a young, naive child into the cesspit that is Hollywood, heap success, failure, praise and criticism upon them and something bad is bound to happen. I keep wondering, did he feel it was worth it, because from where I'm standing, it doesn't appear to be.

Yes, Jackson had a talent for entertaining, but the nightmare it turned his life into at times, could not have been worth the pain. I often thought he would have been happier had he never been famous and was allowed to live in anonymity.

You can tell which pop stars prostitute themselves for press. They send out press releases with made up stories for publicity. They constantly email newspapers, websites and blogs, fabricated stories to keep their names in the press. They degrade and expose themselves for attention, in ways no self-respecting human being would.

At the click of every flash bulb, they're there showing you all their teeth, no matter what the weather or situation. For further reference see Madonna, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Rihanna and Beyonce.

But Jackson was a recluse. At times he seemed overwhelmed and distraught by the attention that he simply fled.

Being accused of child molestation, which I do not believe he did, had to have made his little enclosed world that much stranger and smaller for him. The controversy grew so loud and terrible at times, you forgot he was a singer.

I didn't agree with certain things Michael did, but when he died this week, I felt sorry for him, because his life was plagued with so many problems, some of his own making and many others heaped on him.

No amount of chart success could compensate for enduring such heartache in one's life. It is sad that he, like many others, saw multiple prescription medications, as the way out of his troubles. The belief is it isn't hardcore drugs, as doctors and prescriptions are involved, but it is still addiction and abuse. I hope others will learn from this tragic story.

Perez Hilton Mocked Michael Jackson When He Died

Perez Hilton Dissed By Matthew Shepard Foundation

Perez Hilton is really getting himself into one problem after another. The PR rolling in regarding him has turned very ugly, from Carrie Prejean to rapper Will.i.am and now Michael Jackson.

As news reports surfaced of Michael Jackson being rushed to the hospital, homosexual blogger, Perez Hilton doodled awful items on a picture of the pop singer and accused him of feigning illness to get out of his comeback tour that was scheduled for London next month.

Hilton's post was vicious. When Jackson was pronounced dead, Hilton withdrew the negative, defamatory posts and pretended nothing happened.

Perez Hilton

In other Hilton news, Perez vowed to donate all proceeds from a lawsuit against Black Eyed Peas' manager, Polo Molino, to the Matthew Shepard foundation, dedicated to the gay man that was killed for being a homosexual.

Polo Molino

However, the foundation, run by Shephard's mom, put out a press release declining any possible donation from Perez's lawsuit. They want no part of it or him, as Perez used the slur "fa*got" as an insult Black Eyed Peas' rapper Will.i.am.

Brutal Perez MJ Post Sparks Twitter War

Perez Hilton is no stranger to controversy, and now many of the stars who he often pals around with have turned on him via Twitter, ripping the celebrity blogger for his posts based around Michael Jackson in the moments before his death.
Hilton purportedly posted a photograph of Jackson with his signature white writing on it, with the phrase "Heart Attack or Cold Feet?" scrawled across the top, quetioning whether Jackson was sick or possibly bailing out of his summer concerts. "Either he's lying or making himself sick, but we're curious to see if he's able to go on!!! Get your money back, ticket holders!!!!" he wrote -- which has since been redacted. As it turns out, Jackson truly did have a heart attack and died. That's when the celebs stepped in to give Perez a piece of their mind:

STATEMENT FROM MATTHEW SHEPARD FOUNDATION REGARDING PEREZHILTON.COM

The Matthew Shepard Foundation was surprised to learn this morning via media reports that blogger Perez Hilton (Mario Lavandeira) has announced he plans to donate, to our organization, the proceeds of a lawsuit he is contesting over an altercation which has been widely reported in recent days.

We had no advance notice or contact from Mr. Hilton or his representatives regarding this proposal, nor any communication since he posted this plan to his website.

We do not know the details of the lawsuit, whether it has been filed, the nature of his claims or the likely outcome. But because the lawsuit presumably involves the physical attack prompted by Mr. Hilton's admitted use of an anti-gay slur, the Foundation will be unable to accept any funds obtained in such a manner.

We very much appreciate the generosity of the offer to support our continuing work to memorialize Matthew through activism in defense of sexual minorities and in favor of understanding, compassion, and acceptance. But because so much of our work involves education to reduce the use of hateful language against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered persons, or those so perceived, it would be inappropriate for us to benefit financially from circumstances in which such a verbal attack was involved.

While we applaud Mr. Hilton's apology to the LGBT community and their loved ones for his use of such a slur, we also feel compelled to point out that use of epithets can often lead to physical violence, as it appears it may have in this case, and that the Matthew Shepard Foundation has worked for more than 10 years to bring to people's attention the consequences of hateful or inolerant language.
