[/FONT] [FONT="]“Ladies & Gentlemen we have a breaking story from the Hollywood Hills, the body of a young Black man that was discovered this morning by a local citizen has been identified & confirmed as that of 26 year old pop sensation, Michael Jackson. Mr. Jackson was found on the front lawn of the house belonging to singer/song writer/musical promoter and producer, Rick James. According to the Police a neighbor to Mr. James had claimed to hear screaming emanating from….a,….{[/FONT][FONT="]Is that correct[/FONT][FONT="]?}…..the sounds of screaming from a large banyan tree on Rick James’ front lawn. The neighbor wandered up the driveway and saw what he first believed was a tarpaulin on the front lawn. Meanwhile the man, according to police saw who was screaming from the tree and fled back to his house to telephone the police. Once police arrived and sealed the scene, they were shocked by who was screaming in the tree. Police called animal control and four animal control officers were able to get the….”individual” who was screaming, to climb out of the tree. The individual,….was identified as “[/FONT][FONT="]Bubbles Jackson[/FONT][FONT="]”[/FONT][FONT="], and is known to be Michael Jackson’s pet chimpanzee. Bubbles came out of the tree and ran over to the body of Mr. Jackson and began to wail and gently pet Mr.Jackson’s head. The police upon entering Mr. James’ house have refused to comment on the scene that they found within the house itself. Ambulances as well as vehicles from both, L.A. County as well as the Orange County Coroner’s offices are converging upon Rick James’s house; indicating that there may in fact be many dead or injured people still on the grounds of Mr. James’ house. At this time, the LAPD have not only closed the road leading to Mr. James’ estate to all except for those who live in the area, they have also refused to make any other comment except that there are numerous bodies strewn throughout the house and in the back yard of Mr. James’ hillside mansion. We will continue to monitor this tragic story as it unfolds and report upon any news as we receive it.”[/FONT]
“I got up to use the lavatory and I heard this terrible screaming sound coming from up the hill. It sounded like a woman but I couldn’t be certain. Of course I knew that it had to becoming from Mr. James’ house. They had been partying non-stop since Thursday afternoon. I thought that some one was hurt so I got dressed, told my wife to stay here and I walked up the hill to our neighbor’s (Rick James) house. The screaming had stopped before I got to the gate of the driveway. I saw something on the lawn and thought that it was a pink and gold tarpaulin at first. As I got closer I realized that it was a body of a young Black man who was wearing a pair of gold pants and a hot pink spandex shirt. As I approached, the screaming started again. I looked up and I saw that chimp in the tree. I said to myself oh shit! I’m getting the hell outta here! I ran back and called the police. Who would have known that there were so many other bodies in that house.” Statement made by Mr. Ira Stern, Esq., neighbor of Mr. Rick James.
