I'm feeling really strongly about the hospice patient on life support as the most likely option.
-This person does not have to have come from UCLA.
-It could have come from a private wealthy home, military hospital, or foreign private care that had all the equipment.
-MJ has connections world-wide and the patient was said to look Asian.
-Then his name and situation would be more under the documented radar.
-What is the longest that some of these people are kept alive--years?
- Head inuries from car accidents--or drug overuse.
-I don't think there is a moral problems with this, as this gives the man the release he needs and perhaps saves MJ's life much as would an organ donation.
-Facial surgeries could even have been done to help him look more like MJ.
-His name could have been changed legally to MJ's.
- They could have given him the scars, etc. needed for the autopsy report.
-He could have been brought in by all the extra security on the 24th, or by the FBI, making sure all complies by their laws and permission.
-MJ could have arranged with several potential candidates long ago just in case of one dying prematurely.
-Murray did all propofol and drug procedures as the hoax script required.
-A real 911 call was placed, the paramedics do not need to be in on it. They could have done all the intubating, injections, and CPR they thought necessary. The moniters and readings would have all been accurately putting out the heart/brain activity until flatlining.
-Them lying could be them trying to cover their asses. I think everyone not in on it is doing that.
-UCLA could have not known anything either.
-The only ones needing to be in on it then would be MJ's security guards, MJ's closest family (only a few including Paris and Prince) who would have wanted to be up close enough to touch him to see it was not him.
-Possibly the coroner is in because the AR is a partial match only to MJ.
-The ones delaying the ambulance at the house to fit hoax times, would have been the security, not EMT, as TS said Bingo to the concept.
-The only reason requiring a closed casket would be some people recognizing it was not MJ.
-His body would go through all the normal times and stages of rigormortis and breakdown.
-This gives the absolute fewest people in on the hoax as required, and still a live body that would fool ALL but the closest to MJ.
-I'm not including other hoax helpers such as Ben, Harvey Levin, a couple in court (putting in animals props etc), Kenny Ortega? (so hard to guess the list).
Could somebody medically knowledgeable comment as to the weaknesses or any added info to this possibility?
