Why is there mystery surrounding death of famous personalities in many cases?

E.g. Most recent would be Michael Jackson’s death controversy.

There isn’t any such controversy. That’s manufactured BS so that someone can make a buck.

A good conspiracy theory is so much more interesting than the mundane truth.

Call me stupid but I see no mystery in any of the deaths in that article. They are dead as door nails, it’s just the fans who couldn’t get past their deaths that made up all kind of crazy stuff.

They are dead for sure..cause of death was controversial / debated in many cases.

That’s the impression common with teenagers and other low information individuals getting their “news” from insipid talk shows, gossip magazines and one another. A spark of intelligence is necessary to appreciate that unless a death is sensationalized one is unlikely to hear about it. So the death of a celebrity is always news. The death of Joe Nobody is only news if his demise is so sordid that the death itself becomes the “celebrity”

Ya I noticed that too, when people talk about conspiracy theories with famous people I’d really take it as a pinch of salt, like with kurt Cobain, because it’s just because so many people love them and are like, you know, so many people are talking about them. Coming up with different things.
