You cannot tell someones health by how slim they are, Look at the old photo's of Michael and you will see he was very slim then. My Husband is really slim but is fit and healthy and can run faster than I can cycle, for long distances too. Am not saying Michael was not 100% fit but the media were insinuating he was on his last legs about to die at any time but I do not think that was true.

He was 51, and I don't find he looks bad for a man his aged on the real picture. If he looks bad, it's only because we have the photoshoped one as a comparison. Any photoshoped picture makes the reality ugly in comparison.
Being 49, I also know what crude light can do to you, even when your are healthy. You look sick or tired even when you're not. So I can't see that picture as an evidence he was not well.
Even in good health and with surgery, he couldn't look 20 anymore. Getting older in public must be an awful thing, and I think that might have been one of the very good reasons he had to disappear.

Go back and look at the Horaldo interview before the court appearance in 2005.

Now, imagine that but a lot worse.

It's only fillers and botox hiding it.

If you do not see that picture as evidence, and the second picture as evidence they were trying to doctor the truth, you my friend are blind.

How do you see that picture as the truth? It's hard to tell in a picture, the lighting might be bad, they could catch him in a funny position, etc. I know a bit about photography and it's hard to tell how a person looks by a picture. Heck, there's pictures of myself that I look like total crap, but I don't look like that in real life! Yes, they did airbrush the picture to make him look better, I won't deny that. But how can that be evidence that he was very ill? I don't understand that...

None of us were at rehearsals, or at the house on June 25th. We don't know what Michael really looked like. The only ones that know are the people who were with him. They very well could be covering things up. How do you we know if he was riddled with needle marks? You can't believe everything the media tells us. I don't think there's a way to know if he was or not. I don't believe you can judge how ill he is/was by a picture. but I could be wrong.

This whole thing makes me

Michael has always been thin. He was thin as a teenager but had a fuller face but that is normal being young. The reason why some people freak out when seeing him is because of his jawline and it makes them think he was unhealthy.When he got older and aged his jawline became more front and center in his face ..if you combine that with a small face it may look weird. Not to me though. But nonetheless I have no idea if he was healthy or not but just concluding this on his weight or face is completely factless.

Just because Michael's thin doesn't mean he isn't heathy. I know of a grand prix rider who is VERY thin. She looks anorexic thin. You can see her bones. but she gets on several horses a day and jumps around jumper courses on extremely hyper/energetic crazy horses, which require a lot of strength to control them and be safe. She does this for a living! Every year I see her, she looks thinner, but she's still alive!

Here's a example of how she looks: l

I don't see that picture as evidence that Michael is dead. I don't see it as evidence that he's sick or unhealthy either.
