It may be unseemly, but it's also human. He was
the most public of public figures, and his sudden
death (supposedly, but not really depending on
who you believe) is bound to cause huge speculation.
Why shouldn't Chopra join in too? As long as no
confidentiality was breached and it doesn't appear
there was.
Granted, he's a pop guru, but as a physician there are certain
ethical standards he should adhere to, esp. in regards to illness
and confidentiality of a friend who probably approached Chopra for
the occasional medical advice, even though he was not his personal
physician or one of his specialists. When two media figures in a row
die and each time Chopra's there blabbing what he knows, it doesn't
bade well for his professional bearing. It starts to seem self-
serving and sleazy.
In a row, Vaj? Two people die 16 months apart,
and you can that "in a row"?
Personally, I think MJ would have heartily approved
and been amused by all the attention and speculation,
and I think he probably is. His last great publicity
stunt--going out with a bang.
