Kids thought Michael was playing dead
Michael Jackson’s children thought daddy was just playing dead, according to the not terribly reliable News of the World, whose source told them, “The three children had been taken to another room by their nannies, but they thought their dad was just fooling around. He often played dead and would then jump up and surprise them, so they thought he was just having a bit of fun. But when they saw the emergency trucks arrive, that really shook them. The kids were terrified and started crying and howling for their dad.” And it wasn’t just the kids – Michael’s doctor, Conrad Murray, shared their belief that Michael was just playing. "He thought Michael was joking around, as he often did to entertain the kids. But this time, tragically, it was real. Murray tried to talk to Michael to rouse him, but soon realised it was no joke. It suddenly dawned on him he was in deep trouble.”
