Even after death, MJJ couldn’t just pass on; he couldn’t just leave us alone.
His post-mortem results are now being sealed while an investigation into his death continues. The fervor with which law enforcement authorities are investigating MJJ’s death/suicide/murder is barely matched by the media obsession during the few days after the incident.
If a regular guy had died under similar circumstances, we would have expected a simple investigation and a closed file. There would have been no weeks of tests, no thousands of hours of investigation; none of this.
And it’s not as if the police in Los Angeles don’t have enough on their hands already. LA has some of the highest violent crime rates in the entire country. You know why. The cops are busy investigating celebrity cases.
