No stranger to controversy in his lifetime, even in death, the shroud of mystery that surrounds the circumstances of the King of Pop’s death, keep getting murkier and murkier by the day, with every successive update contributing to the complexities of the tragedy.

In a latest development, photographs taken at the scene of Michael’s death, in his rented Holmby Hills, California mansion, in days following his death, reveal a bloody shirt in the Pop-sensation’s closet. The blood splattered piece of garment, happens to be a white women’s blouse, going by the label which reads, “Women’s Clothing-Casual Top”. The photos also reveal the visible price tag, still attached to the female apparel, bearing a price of $3.99.

The discovery of the shirt/blouse, has not only served to heighten speculations as to the circumstances surrounding Jackson’s death, with conjectures being made about the shirt having been used in all probability to mop or wipe blood, especially since it doesn’t seem to have been worn.

But having accepted that explanation, questions that remain unanswered, are why the shirt was hung back in the closet where it was found on a hanger, and why the bloody garment had not been seized as evidence in the course of the investigation. Apparently, the Los Angeles Police Department didn’t have emphatic explanations for either of the questions.

Meanwhile, reportedly, this apparent lapse on the part of the investigating authorities, has sparked off a volley of questions from distinguished members of the legal fraternity, who seem to be wondering why such a vital piece of evidence hadn’t been seized and incorporated as evidence.
