Causes of Blue skinCyanosisCyanosis is a severe condition indicating a lack of oxygen in the blood supply. This can arise due to various severe illnesses that inhibit circulation or oxygen takeup. Localized cyanosis can also occur in areas of poor circulation such as the hands and fingers in Raynaud's phenomenon. Cyanosis may also be described as purple skin or dark skin in some cases. Any form of cyanosis needs medical investigation
The following medical conditions are some of the possible causes of Cyanosis. There are likely to be other possible causes, so ask your doctor about your symptoms.

o Inhaled foreign body
o Cold exposure
o
Drug overdose o Shock
o Asthma
o Pneumothorax

LoginI don't see drug ADDICTION in that list. I do see other reason such as drug overdose, lack of oxygen, Cardiac failure etc.
I am not a medical professional but if MJ was supposedly in cardiac arrest wouldn't he then be showing signs of Cyanosis (blue skin/dark skin)?
If this is a hoax wouldn't MJ have researched cardiac arrest?
Why is it every time a new article is published, someone is posting that this means there is no hoax? Each article doesn't negate everything else we have discovered.
All I can say is that if Michael doesn't return by the end of 2012 then I will no longer believe that he is returning. That still doesn't mean he is dead just not coming back but on the other hand, I see no reason for all the clues and inconsistencies if he doesn't intend to return.
