SANTA BARBARA, CAâ"During a search for evidence at the Neverland Valley Ranch, investigators discovered a corpse that has been identified as that of Michael Jackson, Santa Barbara police officials announced Tuesday.
"Coroners have officially pronounced Michael Jackson dead. From what we can tell, he died between 18 and 20 years ago," forensic investigator Tim Holbrooke said. "We are not certain, at this time, whoâ"or whatâ"has been standing trial in that Santa Maria courthouse."
According to Holbrooke, Jackson's corpse was buried just inches below a stretch of the miniature-train tracks that run throughout Neverland. The largely desiccated corpse wore the remains of a red, zipper-covered leather jacket and a single glove.
"We positively identified the body as Jackson by his dental records and DNA," Holbrooke said. "But even before we conducted a single forensic test, we began to suspect that that we'd uncovered the real Michael, and that the disturbing figure claiming to be Jackson was a fake."
Holbrooke said that, although the corpse was in an advanced stage of decomposition, when investigators compared the body to early-career publicity photos of Jackson, they saw a striking resemblance in bone structure and facial features. But when they compared the body to photos taken after 1987, the resemblance was negligible.
"This discovery raises a lot of questions, but it also sheds light on a number of disturbing incidents," Holbrooke said. "Frankly, Jackson had been acting pretty strange."

[quote=iamsuperawesome]D: if he's dead a long time ago, how could he sell alot of tickets for a concert a couple months ago, X( i just confused my self[/quote]
The FAKE article said he was using some kind of look-a-like to make it look like he was still alive.
the onion is an amazing satire news site. They say everything like completely authentic newspeople. Has anybody heard the story they did on Shawn Johnson breaking her knee? It is the most funny thing ever.
As has been already pointed out, The Onion, which wrote the article, is a parody news site. In the interest of stopping the spread of misinformation to some fairly gullible people, I'm going to lock this thread.
