I always sensed the picture was fake, but wasn't completely sure. Now, of course, I AM sure it was fake. So thanks, and for the photo-shop demonstration. I'm not one to go in for the "hoax" possibility, but now I have the slightest doubt .. . . uhm. . . . We have NOT seen a "death-photo," and now we know that. We have not seen autopsy results, at all. There were rumors that he was not IN the casket at the memorial. And then that strangeness where nobody saw the casket being taken OUT, or where it went.
Michael would not fake his own death. He knew, I'm sure, that fans would lose their lives over it. The only, tiny, doubt enters when I wonder if he felt his life was in terrible danger? Kind of like a witness-protection program? But no. . . . . I don't really think that. Whatever else is the case, there has been way too much strangeness surrounding his death. Waaaaay too much.
