Jacko death re-enacted on US TV
London: A controversial re-enactment of King of Pop Michael Jackson’s death has been shown on US television.
The show Famous Crime Scene used a lookalike of the Thriller hitmaker for their 30-minute programme, which showed the doppelganger being given CPR by an actor playing Jackson’s alleged killer Dr Conrad Murray.
The most shocking scenes, however, featured the lookalike lying naked on an post mortem table, covered by nothing but a towel, and being pushed slowly into a mortuary drawer.

The show aired on the entertainment channel VH1, used a mixture of actors, journalists and magazine and website editors to put together its version of the events surrounding Jackson’s death.
As the lookalikes re-enacted the moment Jackson slipped into unconsciousness, the real-life 911 call was played over the top of the images. Jackson died, aged 50, on June 25 in 2009 after suffering a cardiac arrest.
The LA County Coroner has since ruled that the death of the King of Pop was a homicide. —PTI
