Discovery Channel Cancels Autopsy Program.
Statement from John Branca and John McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson:
The Estate of Michael Jackson is pleased that Discovery Channel made the correct decision in choosing to cancel this exploitative program. We are hopeful that this show will never run in any market in the future. While Discovery cited legal proceedings and our request as the reasons for its decision, none of this would have happened had it not been for the incredible passion displayed by countless Michael Jackson fans worldwide who knew they stood as one and that their voices could not be ignored.

The show would have been the same show that America has seen; how many times – three.
It is not a real autopsy, Dr. G. on the Discovery shown the real autopsies and discovers the cause of death. I would say, if you never been anatomy classes or gross anatomy class or seen certain things than I would agree do not show it. However, Dr. G’s show makes this Michael Jackson’s autopsy look as someone place pictures down on a desk and made a cheap, false and Ken doll video.
We would not see it in America anyways. The Discovery Channel is OWN …Ms. Oprah’s television station.
Do not jump to conclusions and allow others to control your mind…hmmm what is the word again…starts with an I.
Michael would want everyone to discover who murder him and whatever it took to find the person than do it. Michael would understand the tests and procedures to be complete in order to find the evidence that caused his death. No, Michael would not appreciate anyone to misuse a procedure or test to mutilate his body. Therefore, scientific tests and procedures are necessary to discover the reason of death; it is mandatory by everyone must show respect of the body at all times or a harsh penalty will be given.
