** This video is split in two parts. The first shows a person impersonating Michael Jackson "emerging alive from a Los Angeles County coroner's van." It came from "LosAngelesCot24" at http://bit.ly/7YSNZ. His version got more than 1 million hits. (The video was actually shot in Germany.)

** The second part is in German. It shows how the hoax was created by RTL, a German television company -- using phony decals on a van -- and recruiting a young actor to "stand-in" as Jackson in a garage near Cologne, Germany. It came from "MUZIKfactory2," at http://bit.ly/hucT5.

** The master video by RTL was posted for one day and taken down. It was an experiment designed to show how quickly it would spread -- and how millions are fooled every day by material posted to the Internet.
