Quote from: "starchild"Michael’s bodyNow that I think back on the situation with greater clarity, I wish that I had demanded to see Michael’s body one last time in those final moments, just to be sure that he was really there. But it was such an emotional day, and so much was going on, that I let the opportunity pass. I will always regret that decision because, now, it is too late, and I will always have my doubts about whether Michael is actually buried in his tomb. (323)Thanks for posting this starchild. I feel tons better about LaToya's book than I did when I first read the summary, last week or whenever it was!This quote above is very odd. Supposedly he was dead. Why wouldn't he be there? Where else would he be buried, and more importantly, if he WAS buried somewhere else why wouldn't she, as a family member, know about that. Sounds like sowing the seeds of a faked death to me. She's expressing the same doubts that we all have!

QuoteUpon learning of her ex-husband’s deathAlthough I immediately felt relieved, Gordon had faked his death before, so I couldn’t believe that he had really died. I sent a security expert to the funeral to make sure that he was in the casket. The expert called me from the funeral home and confirmed that he had seen Jack Gordon dead in his casket.

(323)Michael’s Post-it notesAlthough he had lived at Carolwood only since Christmastime, his bedroom was littered with Post-it notes that documented his thoughts during the last days of his life. Among the notes we read were:I hate John Branca.John Branca stole lots of money from me and continuously double & triple billed me.I hate Tohme Tohme.Randy Phillips & Dr. Tohme are not flying with me. NO! NO! NO! EVER!Call Joseph.Get Joseph’s help to get these people out of my life.I don’t want Frank DiLeo back in my life.I only agreed to 10 shows.Tell Tohme Tohme to give me back my cars.AEG is pressuring me to go see Dr. David H. Salvit for a physical. (298-299)Michael’s business relationshipsIt is extremely interesting to me that many of those who received producer credits on the film [This Is It] were people whom Michael had at one time fired and told me that he didn’t want to work with again, including Sony, John Branca, Frank DiLeo, and Dr. Tohme Tohme. Those who got producer credits also included AEG, whose behavior when they sold out fifty concerts in London after Michael only agreed to perform ten had upset Michael.These were all business relationships and deals that I could not imagine Michael allowing to occur had he been alive. (310)This Is ItIn the wake of Michael’s death, I am amazed by how quickly that film [This Is It] came together from only three days of shooting Michael, which makes me wonder if a film of some kind was already in progress. If nothing else, its release was in poor taste. That’s why I have never seen the film myself. To me, it is further exploitation of my brother and his memory. (332-333)

Thank you so much for posting this information. It sounds very intriguing. It really sounds like she's trying to put more doubt into people's minds and where does she say who killed Michael? I thought she was going to reveal "who did it". Did she forget that it was Michael who brought Branca and DiLeo back into his life shortly before his "death"? Also, about the post-it notes...I know this is speculation but I cannot see Michael putting hate notes up on the wall. If we remember back to the beginning we read that he had notes on his wall about loving children and someone he was supposed to call (I think). These are contradictory to each other. Did he need a reminder not to fly with Randy Phillips? If he truly had a problem with him I doubt he needed to remind himself of that. Also, for someone who practices so much love and tolerance, hate is a strong word. Even I do not use that word when speaking about people I don't particularly care for. I cannot see Michael posting these types of notes.One last thing - we've never heard anything about Thome Thome having some of Michael's cars. He did return 5 million dollars that he said he was holding for Michael but where and why would he have cars?PS - Note to look into David H. Salvit. Again, why would Michael put this on a post-it note. All of those statements are more journal type entries. Post-It notes are more for reminders. JMO.Blessings
