Michael Jackson's Death Bed Up For Auction

[Cosmic Harmony]

The contents of Michael Jackson's final home — the mansion in Holmby Hills, California, where the King of Pop took his final breaths — are going up for auction starting December 17 via Julien's Auctions, the AP reports. Though the auction house claims it isn't using Jackson's name to boost prices (the catalog is simply labeled "100 North Carolwood Drive"), it certainly seems as though yet again somebody is trying to profit of the tragic death of one of the world's most beloved performers.

Items up for sale include the queen-sized bed where Jackson received the fatal dose of Propofol that claimed his life on June 25, 2009 and a chalkboard from the home's kitchen on which one of Jackson's children scrawled a note to MJ: "I (heart) Daddy. SMILE, it's for free."

"We want to preserve the history of these items," said Darren Julien, president of Julien's Auctions. These items number in the hundreds and include antique furnishings, paintings, and sculptures. The six-bedroom, 10-fireplace, 54,885-square-foot mansion, which also features a wine cellar, fitness center, and formal dining and sitting rooms, is also up for sale, but not included in the auction.

"We want to preserve the history of these items"

Putting them in an auction is a very odd way to preserve the history. Not to mention kind of creepy to auction away his deathbed.

Well, Jacko the Wacko was very odd.

True. I suppose it's better than throwing everything he owned out the window. So in that case, it makes a bit more sense.

Personally, I wouldn't want anything he touched.

Burn it all.

I'm sort of in the same boat. I personally wouldn't really want anything that somebody slept on, in, or around or sat in, etc. So beds, chairs, or things like that. Something about that is just far too creepy for me.

Burn down Wackoland too!

Anything for a buck!

I wouldn't want it!!

Just think of how many times he ''beat it'' in that bed!





And God knows what else?

And I bet he didn't stop until he got enough
