They have BVMs (Bag Valve Mask) so there was no lip to lip contact.
Somehow, this is global warming’s fault.
Rest In Peace, Michael. I could have sworn you would be an ALCOR customer.
MJ was into the cyrogenic craze back in the 70s (or was it the 80s). Anyway, there was a group that was charging a very large level of money to freeze your body so that you could be brought back to life at some point in the future. I guess that they defrost you at after science discovers a cure for whatever killed you, so they can bring you back, then fix you.
As we say in the medical field, you ain’t dead until you are warm and dead.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE By Michael Jackson
(gives me hope that MJ heard God’s voice)
Another day has gone
I’m still all alone
How could this be
You’re not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
But you are not alone
‘Lone, ‘lone
Why, ‘lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
For you are not alone
Whisper three words and I’ll come runnin’
And girl you know that I’ll be there
I’ll be there
You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though you’re far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though we’re far apart
You’re always in my heart
For you are not alone...
Yeah but like it or not, he’s probably one of the 10 most famous people in the world and his strangeness just makes it that much more of a story.

Hearing that the division that investigated Nicole Simpson murder is now in charge of the Jackson death.
Well, I guess in the future the entry for 'this day in history' is going to be a lot smaller.
