On the first Saturday following Michael Jackson's death, Coast to Coast AM, a popular late night AM radio talk show, aired an interview with host Ian Punnett and Christian von Lähr, a clairvoyant who had been scheduled previously to discuss the singer's death. It was only a few hours before the show was about to air that von Lähr surprised Punnett by sending him an email that Michael Jackson had contacted him via the astral plane shortly after he died and expressed his wish to be channeled for the show. In the email, von Lähr asked Punnett if Premiere Radio would be interested in accommodating the unusual request, and they agreed, expanding the original 30-minute time slot to one full hour in anticipation that a connection with Jackson would be attempted.

In no way did von Lähr make any promises that he would be able to connect with Jackson, only that he would give it his best attempt and work to fine-tune any information that he received.
 
For nearly an hour the guest rallied back and forth between his own responses and Jackson's. While speaking beyond the grave is highly controversial, there were a number of things that were said which have since been proven, and some information has not yet been revealed by traditional media but seems to rings true. Jackson (through von Lähr) revealed that he had prepared a family trust account, spoke directly to members of his family and even thanked Oprah Winfrey. He thanked host Punnett as well, quipping that he now has more air time than the host and described a new dance move he calls "the swirl."

On the show, von Lähr said there was a trust fund, and two days later the trust fund story is "broken." The information about an oxygen tank in the room, including its physical description and location in the room is discussed, and just yesterday CNN "breaks" the story of the oxygen tank. And in an interview on Good Morning America last week, Dr. Arnold Klein, Jackson's long-time dermatologist was asked out of the blue if he [Klein] was the biological father of Michael Jackson's two oldest kids, Paris and Prince. Initially TMZ.com posted a story in the early hours of June 30th that Debbie Rowe compared her two pregnancies to that of a surrogate, despite the fact that she and Jackson were married.

Someone needs to ask the following question: Did ABC and Diane Sawyer actually come up with this supposition on her own, or could they be following this story, but are concerned over the possibility of further controversy over the paranormal aspect of it? Is TMZ.com embarrassed to admit that the interview on Coast to Coast AM may have offered some additional fodder for speculation, prompting them to continue aggressive research and questioning of all their sources? And what about the oxygen tanks? Here's what was heard live when the guest, claiming to be speaking on behalf of Michael Jackson, started to describe what he was sensing. 

"He (meaning Jackson) seemed confused about the time of his death," saying '... the oxygen tank was 1/2 empty. Did it run out? There's something wrong with the air... it wasn't.. I wasn't gone eight.. eight or eighteen? I'm not sure when I passed. There's something wrong with that.'"

For paranormal enthusiasts and Michael Jackson fans alike, the emotional responses that were coming from the clairvoyant seemed recognizable and plausible, but at the time statements made on the show had not  yet come to pass. Since it aired, not only did a witness statement of seeing oxygen tanks make headlines, the drug Diprivan was revealed to have been found at the scene. Diprivan is an injectable drug normally administered in hospital room settings, and oxygen is used as part of a recommended protocol. Detailed information about the drug as well as many more details about the broadcast are in a previous article that posted on Saturday. 

While the cause of Michael Jackson's death is still under speculation, some friends and members of the Jackson family are beginning to talk about the real possibility of murder. Results from a private autopsy are known by family members however they aren't talking yet. The Los Angeles coroner could release his autopsy report on Jackson within a week, according to assistant chief coroner Ed Winter, yet it is unknown whether or not Diprivan is detectable in blood and tissue samples.

Since most of the news is purely speculative it opens up ample marketing opportunities for non-traditional information gatherers such as psychics, hypnotists, clairvoyants and mediums. For the fans who are still reeling from the sudden death of their idol, perhaps hearing any news about Jackson is a panacea for their grief, as well as their hunger for data, regardless of the method used in gathering and dissemination.  When von Lähr asked Jackson how he was feeling, the response did seem to tug at the heartstrings a bit, perhaps even bringing a little bit of comfort to those who are still grieving. 

When von Lähr asked aloud "Michael, can we... find out what's going on with you-- do you have any messages for people or anything you want to say?" Coast to Coast listeners heard the following chilling statement, "Hello! I'm out of my cage! I am somewhere beyond, now. I am in a place that is both carefree and pain free. I take it as a sign... that I'm not so bad, after all."
