Brian Oxman served as the Jacksons's family attorney for more than 20 years and suspects that prescription drug abused may have played a role in Michael's passing.
Some excerpts from the video:
"I warned them there was the misuse of prescription medications by people who were enabling him; his handlers, folks who should never have been permitted to allow him to use those medications in the manner I observed." Oxmon says Jackson, 50, "had no particular health concerns except that he had broken his leg many years ago, and it hurt him. He had cracked a vertebrae in his back and he took painkillers to try to ease the pain."
"We will have to wait to see what the toxicology reports have to say, what the coroners report has to say. When that happens, I will be very vocal. It could very well be he died from natural causes, in which case, my gosh, the tragedy becomes even greater."

Who knows whether Oxman's contentions have any credence yet but this is becoming Anna Nicole Part II with the alleged prescription drug missuse.

@Craigmackk Pretty sure FC left a HTML italics tag open in her post (where it cuts off prematurely at the end) happens to me too sometimes.
about the post - I think I'm going to wait a few days before going there with the cause of death. But if this is some heath ledger type stuff, it should be fairly easy to determine.

@Amy - I think you're right. Had HTML training at one time, myself, and shoulda caught on when I posted initially to what you pointed out too. I have "LOSER" written across on my forehead. Haha. Relaxing font on the eyes, though.
Anyway, it is indeed premature to speculate about the cause of his MJ's death. But the fact that his doctor is missing, plus other strange variables, does ring some suspicions in my mind right now. But yeah, we won't know fo sho the full extent of the investigations for days or months to come. So the guessing game continues...
