The death of two Celebrities...

26th of June, 2009, in a single day the entertainment world lost two of it’s best known icons. Farrah Fawcett, 62, and Michael Jackson, 50, were here yesterday but gone today. Whether it’s a well known celebrity or closer to home, death has a way of forcing us to evaluate our own lives. It is easy to coast from day to day without thinking about death. As unpleasant as it is to ponder on such thoughts, the cold reality is that death is an appointment none of us can avoid.

Michael Jackson is a King of Pop, a great dancer with good potential and he is also the man of fashions. Micheal Jackson died due to full cardiac arrest on Thursday at age 50 as he was about to embark on a series of London performances. The night before his death he had been in rehearsals for his 50-date London comeback tour. His dead had shocked the world. As worldwide fans mourn him and enjoy listening to his music once more (apparently sales for his albums are up 721-percent since yesterday!), questions remain surrounding his death.
The Los Angeles County Coroner’s office started conducting its autopsy today to determine the cause of the King of Pop’s sudden death. As reported by the New York Times, the LAPD is honing in on Michael Jackson's private doctor, a cardiologist with a practice in Las Vegas. Last night the police department impounded the doctor’s car to search for medicine such as prescription drugs or perhaps other evidence. Speculators have already mentioned they suspect drugs were an attributing factor to the death but until the facts came in, it’s just that: speculation.

As the call came into 911 by identifying a fifty year-old man (not specifically saying it was Michael), the caller also indicated he was not responding to CPR or anything. The doctor was the only person who was witnessing this. The police want to interview the doctor and search the car for medications or evidence that may help the coroner.

Although the autopsy itself will take a few hours, toxology results have been known to take six to eight weeks. Initial reports of his death indicate cardiac arrest whereby Michael was transferred to UCLA Medical Center. At 2:26 pm the King of Pop was pronounced dead.

Bottom line: Michael Jackson was no ordinary man. But the experts agree that his sad end is an opportunity for people who think they are safe from a cardiac disaster to reconsider, and take health precautions that could save their lives.

Farrah Fawcett, an actress for the original version of Charlie's Angels, died at age 62 due to cancer on the same day with Michael Jackson.Farrah Fawcett, the 1970s jiggle icon known equally for "Charlie's Angels", her feathered hair, that skimpy red swimsuit, and her stormy love life, died yesterday morning after a long struggle with anal cancer.
Fawcett was diagnosed with anal cancer in 2006, and though it went into remission, it reappeared last year. As of a few months ago, Fawcett still had hope that she would beat cancer. Her doctor said in April that Fawcett "remains in good spirits with her usual sense of humor. She's been in great shape her whole life and has an incredible resolve and an incredible resilience."
Not long after, O'Neal confirmed that Fawcett had stopped treatment
, was bed-ridden and has lost most of her famed locks. At the end, she couldn't make it through life.

May both of them Rest in Peace.....
