The most mysterious deaths of famous people: from Osama bin Laden to Princess Diana

When a public person suddenly dies, the hype and rumors surrounding his death cannot be avoided. Some fans refuse to believe that their idol has left, and are considering a version with a staged death. Others put forward conspiracy theories and blame the state or special services for everything. Still others suspect relatives or close friends…

The only thing you can believe in is the results of an official investigation. But if there are inconsistencies in them, as in the cases described below, one can only guess.

According to the official version, on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson's personal doctor Conrad Murray injected the patient with propofol, a powerful sleeping pill. When he returned a couple of hours later, the artist was no longer breathing. Resuscitation measures did not have any effect. As a result, the singer was pronounced dead from an overdose of propofol and other potent drugs.

But there is also a theory that the king of pop staged his death to avoid having to pay off debts. During the investigation of Jackson's death, it turned out that his finances have been going through hard times for a long time. The singer had to give more than 500 thousand dollars, and in order to raise this amount, he announced his intention to give 10 concerts under the slogan "This Is It" in London. These were supposed to be Michael's first concerts after a long break of 12 years, so tickets for the show sold out at lightning speed.

In the wake of the hype, the concert organizers decided to expand the program to 50 performances. But a sick and weakened artist would hardly be able to endure such a busy schedule. That's why I did what I did… Several facts speak in favor of this theory at once: relatives at the singer's funeral were too cheerful, there is still no confirmed posthumous photo of Michael Jackson, the column "Cause of death" is not filled in the medical certificate. Numerous reports from various people that they "saw Michael Jackson after his death" we don't even mention…

On August 16, 1977, the body of 42-year-old Elvis Presley was found by his girlfriend Presley Ginger Alden on the bathroom floor at Graceland Manor. According to the news, it was announced that the king of rock and roll died of heart failure resulting from an overdose of painkillers and sedatives.

Where did the doubts come from? The fact is that shortly after Presley's death, one of his fans took his autograph at the Memphis airport, and the examination even confirmed the authenticity of the sample. In addition, skeptics were confused by the secrecy of the investigation. And the only photo of his body walking on the Internet is most likely fake.

Presley's fans believe that he faked his death in order to "retire" without too much hype, communication with the press and interviews. Allegedly, the singer decided to spend the rest of his life in some warm country. Moreover, he had the means for a comfortable existence.

Osama bin Laden is one of the most famous and most dangerous terrorists in the world. It is he who is credited with organizing the terrorist attack "9/11— - a series of explosions that occurred in the United States on September 11, 2001, and claimed the lives of almost 3 thousand civilians.

On May 2, 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed. A fatal shot in the head of the head of al-Qaeda was made by one of the special forces of the American SEAL unit (the famous "navy seals"). Everything was happening at a secret terrorist base in the suburbs of Abbottabad. Subsequent examination of the photos of the murdered man and analysis of his DNA confirmed that it was bin Laden who died.

However, on the same day, representatives of the terrorist group tEhreek-i-Taliban Pakistan said that the Americans "invented" the murder of the head of the bandits in order to "increase their authority." And although they later acknowledged bin Laden's death, doubts about this remained…

And there are reasons for that, because the body of the terrorist was buried somewhere in the Arabian Sea (allegedly so that his grave would not become a shrine), and his photos refused to be passed to the press (allegedly so as not to injure the psyche of people, because Osama was shot half a head). In addition, it is worth considering that in the period from 2001 to 2011, reports of bin Laden's death appeared in the press constantly… Where are the guarantees that the latest information is not another fake?

On the night of August 31, 1997, Princess Diana and her lover Dodi Al-Fayed died in a car accident. According to the official version, Henri Paul, who was driving a Mercedes Benz S280 at the time, lost control, as he greatly exceeded the speed, trying to escape from the paparazzi car. Later, however, they began to say that the man was drunk, but this version was not confirmed.

However, over time, other unknown facts about the death of the princess began to emerge. For example, it turned out that the car that Diana was supposed to drive was replaced almost at the last moment. Henri Paul chose a strange route — not the one they usually traveled. And the most interesting thing is that almost all traffic surveillance cameras turned out to be faulty along the way.

But even this did not inspire doubts in the hearts of Lady Di's admirers. The fact is that shortly before her death, the princess wrote a letter to the butler Paul Burrell, in which she reported that "her ex-husband would try to kill her", provoking a car breakdown or severe head injury. Diana believed that in this way Charles would speed up the path to marrying his assistant Tiggy, and at the same time take revenge on her for her failed marriage and relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed.

Despite the fact that the authenticity of this letter is in doubt, Diana's fans believed that it was the royal family who staged that fatal car accident.

The Doors' leader and vocalist Jim Morrison died on July 3, 1971 in Paris at the age of 27 (thanks to this, he got into the "Club 27" - the combined name of the musicians who died at this age). According to the official version, the singer had a heart attack caused, presumably, by an overdose of heroin. However, the fact that no autopsy was carried out under French law gave rise to many alternative versions of Morrison's death.

One of the most common is suicide and staged suicide by the FBI services, which at that time were actively fighting with representatives of informal movements. However, British rock singer Marianne Faithfull said in 2014 that Morrison could have been killed. According to the girl, her ex-boyfriend and part-time drug dealer Jean de Breteuil offered the singer "too strong heroin", the use of which led to tragic consequences.
