14. Michael Jackson
When the “King of Pop” died in 2009, it marked the end of an incredible career that touched the lives of millions of people, revolutionized the music industry, and placed him as one of the greatest individuals ever to grace the music world. His life was shrouded in controversy, and his death was no different.
His personal physician was later convicted of manslaughter for improperly administering certain drugs to Michael Jackson, which the coroner later determined was the cause of his death. These drugs were propofol and a number of anti-depressants. But there are a number of theories as to why his personal physician, Dr. Murray, managed to “accidentally” kill Jackson. After all, he gave Michael enough propofol to “kill an elephant.” M.J.’s son saw his father repeatedly saying “They’re going to kill me, they’re going to kill me,” after getting off the phone with the CEO of AEG Live. His son also told court officials that he saw this CEO, Randy Phillips, grabbing M.J.’s physician in a threatening way and speaking to him very close to his face.
But why would people want him dead? Well, he was actually a very clever businessman and had started buying rights to various songs. His fortune was huge. When he died Sony, AEG Live, and other big businesses automatically inherited these rights, along with many other rights that allowed them to release his songs after the singer’s death. His family did not receive any of this money, and claim that his will was forged. There are other crazy conspiracy theories that claim his death was orchestrated by the illuminati, and that it was a sacrifice to Satan. (Michael Jackson actually went on record in interviews to say that he believed in the Illuminati, and he said that they were running the music industry.)
