I read ... but have NOT substantiated it as fact ... that he was around $400-500 million in debt, living a lifestyle as if he could afford it. Probably hearsay and speculation. However his death such a shock that likely every aspect of his life will be publicized in great detail.

Mystery surrounds Michael Jackson's sudden death

One day after Michael Jackson's sudden death, speculation was already turning to what killed the 50-year-old King of Pop just weeks before a long-awaited series of comeback concerts.A family attorney said on Friday he had been concerned that Jackson's use of prescription drugs for dancing-related injuries would eventually prove fatal and that the entertainer's inner circle had ignored his warnings.

Authorities scheduled an autopsy for Friday. But they cautioned it could take weeks to determine a cause of death, which will likely have to wait for the return of toxicology tests. Those tests will determine if Jackson had any drugs, alcohol or prescription medications in his system.

Jackson, a former child star who became one of the best-selling pop artists of all time before descending into a strange and reclusive lifestyle amid accusations of child molestation, died Thursday afternoon at a Los Angeles hospital.

He had been rushed to the hospital in full cardiac arrest after collapsing at his nearby rental home.

Jackson's passing was front-page news around the world as airwaves filled with his greatest hits from Thriller to Billie Jean and social networking sites were bombarded with messages and tributes from fans and musicians.

It's so sad and shocking, former Beatle Paul McCartney said. I feel privileged to have hung out and worked with Michael. He was a massively talented boy man with a gentle soul. His music will be remembered forever.

Few details were known about the circumstances surrounding Jackson's death but he was reportedly unconscious and not breathing by the time he arrived at UCLA Medical Center. Doctors were unable to revive him.

His body was flown by helicopter from the hospital to the coroner's office late Thursday.
