Suicide ruled out in Carradine's death:

A private forensic pathologist hired by David Carradine's family said that a second autopsy has determined the actor died from asphyxia ... but it has become clear he did not commit suicide.
"The cause of death was asphyxiation, an inability to breathe," Dr. Michael Baden said, according to Reuters. "Now why that happened is still what we're working on."

He also found that since Carradine had been found with his hands tied behind his back, "he didn't die of natural causes, and he didn't die of suicidal causes from the nature of the ligatures around the body, so that leaves some kind of accidental death."
However, Baden said he can't yet determine for sure whether the actor's death was accidental or a homicide. He perfomed the autopsy on Carradine's body after it was flown back to the United States.

I registered for lottery for two tickets to Michael Jackson's memorial. Obviously I wont be able to attend but will be happy, if I win, to give tickets to any LA person interested. Recommend that other tvch'ers register as well, you never know and it might benefit some of our members in LA who might be interested in going. go to www.staplescenter.com.

also you have to submit a bunch of times because the traffic is so heavy you have to keep trying.

My guess is people will start selling them if they win the lottery but have no intention of going. I'd feel bad, but that's what I would do if I put in my name for the lotto, which is why I haven't.

I wouldn't go, figure those motivated to get the tickets might also really want to go up to Staples Center, find parking and stand outside (or get inside).

I think that's definitely going to happen. Also, will they require ID to make sure they person who one the lottery is the one who actually shows up?

I doubt there would be enough time to sell them on eBay or anything. Isn't the funeral service on Tuesday next? People won't know if they've won until tomorrow.

they might try and scalp them outside the perimeter of staples. It didnt say you would need id but I am hoping you will need to show id, that would stop selling them.

I registered and want to go!

When I've gone to tv tapings they were really strict about id and not being able to transfer.. but of course this isn't like that.

Are these tickets for inside seating or just for the possibility of being inside? I did hear that they would also use the screens outside so that will give more people a chance to "be there".

I know it would be pretty awesome to go but the timing isn't right.. I have a delivery that day the 7th and then my post op appointment is the 8th.. I'm hoping I'll get permission to be more active than I've been.

I see that they will also use the Nokia.. that's good and gives more chances.

Pamy, I hope you get to go!! We will want a full report back if you do. Yeah it doesn't SAY Id but they do ask for your birthdate. Of course checking all those people for id would be a daunting task!

I hope they will televise it, too. Just imagine all who will be coming, wow.

TV Networks Airing Michael Jackson's Memorial Service in L.A. July 04, 2009 02:50:53 GMT

To cover the historical event, TV networks like E!, MTV and CBS are committing to broadcast it live from Staples Center on Tuesday, July 7.

For fans who fail to get a hold of tickets to Michael Jackson's memorial service at Los Angeles' Staples Center, staying at home and watching it through TV can be an option. TV networks are on standby mode to broadcast the remembrance on Tuesday, July 7 live.

E! said on Saturday, July 4 that it will carry live and stream online the memorial service starting at 10 A.M. PT. The broadcast will be available live at anywhere in the world where E! can be seen. Music channels like MTV, VH1 and VH1 Classic meanwhile, will start broadcasting at 1 P.M. ET.

CBS News which has been covering heavily since Michael's death on June 25, released the following statement. "Based on current plans, CBS News will provide comprehensive coverage anchored by Katie Couric of Michael Jackson's memorial at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, as well as the events and activities surrounding the memorial via the CBS Television Network, CBSNews.com and CBS Radio News."

A total of 17,500 tickets are given for free to fans who wish to attend the memorial service. 11,000 of them will be able to watch the process from inside the building while the rest are to view the service from a simulcast at Nokia Theater. StaplesCenter.com which is the place to register for the tickets has crashed due to the huge traffic, but AEG Live is working on adding providers.

Security and health will be the main concerns for the officials on duty during the event. L.A. Councilwoman Jan Perry said, "We cannot jeopardize the health and safety of the public. Without a ticket, the best option for viewing the services for this extraordinary individual is at home."

When you pick up the tickets, they will give you a wrist band (presumably they will put it on you), so you can't resell the tickets.

don't know how much ID you have to post to register for the lottery, or if they will be checking that ID when you pick up the tickets. That could also make it difficult to re-sell or even giveaway the tickets.

Neko if I win, I have no intention of selling the tickets but will give them away to someone locally if that will be possible.

I did hear a snippet somewhere that if you win, you will be notified by Email. So perhaps that Email will be the thing you must show when you pick up the tickets and get your wristband?

Sea - early on, there was talk of showing the service outside on the screens in the LA Live area. But yesterday during the press conference, they said that would not be the case and no one would be allowed into the secure area without a ticket and wristband. The secure area is blocks away from Staples and the Nokia, so no one will be able to get close to the venues without the necessary entry docs.

Just stay off my networks. Broadcast it on-line or on cable stations -- I don't have cable. Enough of MJ. I'm sick of it.

Colord - I know how you feel but I'm afraid the networks will all cover it. I read something that said CBS confirmed first and they have the service, Early Show and some special prime time programming devoted to MJ. I really do think all the major non-cable networks will cover the memorial, in addition to the wall-to-wall cable coverage.

My next door neighbors have decided to hold their own MJ tribute this morning. They've been blaring his music for at least two hours now. They finally turned it down a smidge so all I'm hearing now is thump thump thump until they open their back door and I get a snippet of the song they are listening to. Have to say they're about to drive me nuts with it! There is nowhere in my house to go without it.

when I registerd it said there would be a unique code in the email they will send if I am selected. You get 2 tix, so even though I gave my birthdate I didnt have to give them one for the 2nd tix.

If there is a will there is a way when it comes to people making a buck. On the plus side with only 2 days between getting notified and the actual event it will cut down on big schemes.

Of course I wouldnt be surprised if the idiots that cause virus' are wking on a fake notification email as we speak
