Diane Dimond on the Latest Michael Jackson Reports

Investigative journalist Diane Dimond, who has been covering Michael Jackson since 1993, talks to "The Insider"'s Samantha Harris about the new reports that the drug Diprivan may have been the cause of his death.

"This could be the smoking gun that killed Michael Jackson. We won't know until the toxicology reports come back," Diane says.

According to Diane, Diprivan is a really strong drug used in hospitals. It is not for home use; it is to put people to sleep before surgery.

"It is really powerful, and, in the hands of somebody who doesn't know what they are doing, it can kill," Diane says.

The previously reported memorial for the King of Pop that was rumored to be taking place at Neverland is not happening, and the family has said that they will shortly announce the plans for a public tribute.

Diane tells "The Insider": "I believe they've decided to have it open casket. Fans are coming far and wide and they'll want to present Michael to his fan base."

Diane also says that she has heard that Diana Ross, Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Jesse Jackson plan to attend.

  • The drugs may have assisted Michael in his death, however, the ACCUSERS and the MEDIA killed Michael a long time ago. The drugs were use to numb the pain of his broken heart.

  • Our media is a joke, and I'm not just referring to their deplorable handling of Jackson. Shame on Insider and other outlets for propping this bozo up as some kind of "respected source."

    Have some ing standards.

  • Just caught Diane Dimond on TV talking about Michael Jackson's security system. Apparently I should think it odd that Michael didn't allow security cameras in his bedroom. You know, because every normal person has one set up in theirs.

    Heck,...
