death

They both are suspected to have suffered some kind of emotional disorder, and were on too many prescription medications.

their sudden death shocked the world.

Both were famous ...

1) "Michael Jackson is likely to have suffered a similar prescription drug overdose death as Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith, one of America's top forensic pathologists has predicted. ``Right now it looks to me like this is a tragic accidental death - multiple drugs I predict,'' Dr Cyril Wecht, a former president of the American Academy of Forensic Science, said in an interview on CNN on Friday."

Yes, yes the whole concept behind the brand is "risky" advertising" and almost offensive advertising to get some media play. Yet, the previous agency, Cinderella, who were the genius' behind the Hilter billboards, caused a large scale boycott of the pizza chain. You'd think they would learn a lesson. Instead, Hell got a new agency - Colenso BBDO. Ah um, this ad takes the fucking cake. The spot shows a creepy and decomposing Sir Edmund Hillary who along with Tenzing Norgay were the first to make it to the summit of Mount Everest. Alongside him are deceased actor Heath Ledger and the Queen Mother dancing around to Michael Jackson's, Thriller. Somewhere, MJ is cheering that he's still relevant, while the rest of the world is slightly gagging. Really. It's astounding."

Neither were married at the time of their death. They both had 1 daughter. In the end, both of their deaths will be ruled as "accidental".

They both died suddently & their deaths a shock to so many.
