CNN's medical guru Sanjay Gupta talks to Rick Sanchez about the final video of Michael Jackson performing for his "This Is It" concert tour.

Based on what he's seen, Gupta doesn't think he looks sick.

Sanchez and Gupta both agree that he "looks skinny" in the video.

Also after viewing the video, Dr. Gupta believes that a "sudden event" might have led to Jackson's death.

AEG wanted MJ to end up breaking the contract so that they could have a windfall of settlement cash from penalties for MJ not playing every single show. That meant that all his assets would be up in the air, including the Sony music catalog. That's now worth $1B. AEG set him up to fail. The advisors he had around him screwed him over too. Poor guy. Naive, full of groove, full of love, and taken advantage of his entire life for: Money. Sad.

why would he be giving it his all, when it's only rehearsals anyway? previous rehearsals show him doing sort of "halfsies" performances too...

people read too much into this, just because it's MJ. He had no problems, he always took care of himself to the umpteenth degree, and so on - he was killed by an overdose... nothing else makes sense.

The papers say, that his heart was healthy... I just DON`T understand his death. 

[Tens8a]

Now we know the truth. It was the doctor why he died.

[89kimpossible]

He Was Not frail...!! He Was 50 For Gods Sake!!!! Show Me Another 50 year Old That Can Dance Like That?? Just Leave Him alone Hes Not Here To Defend Himself So Stop Analizing Him! Dr Conrad Murray Is To Blame For This not Michaels Thin-ness!!!!!

[HASHANIMATIONS]

Poor thing, he would never be able to handle 50 shows

[gerryff]

money was the reason he had to do this tour. He was only iving in rented accomodation and he had millions of debt
