On June 25, 2009, legendary musician Michael Jackson supposedly died from a drug overdose.

However, in the years since, many of his fans have come to believe that he faked his death to escape the limelight.

Various pieces of evidence and rumors have emerged, leading some to speculate that Jackson is still alive.

From mysterious videos to strange audio tracks, fans have pieced together what they believe are clues to support this theory.

One of the earliest and most controversial videos allegedly showing Michael Jackson still alive was republished on August 25, 2007.

In this video, it appears that Jackson leaves a van and walks away with a bodyguard.

However, according to the company RTL, this video was a hoax constructed to show how easily rumors can spread online.

Despite this claim, some German commentators noticed discrepancies in the original video.

In the video, the body’s hand punches upright, but in the RTL reconstruction, it punches to the left, which some believe was done to discredit the evidence of Jackson’s survival.

Fans believe that this video, filmed on the day of Jackson’s death, shows his body being transported, and some claim that it reveals Jackson was still alive and left LA before his alleged death.

The strong winds could have made the body bag move, which some fans interpreted as a sign that Jackson had already escaped.

Another interesting clue came from an interview with Jermaine Jackson, Michael’s brother.

In the interview, Jermaine stated that Michael had been taken to the airport on the day of his death before quickly correcting himself and saying “hospital.”

Fans pointed out that this slip-up could be a sign that Michael was, in fact, flown out of LA rather than taken to a hospital.

There are also rumors that LAX Airport was closed for two hours after Jackson’s death, and some believe that there was a heavy presence of security at the airport during that time.

While these claims cannot be verified, they add to the mystery surrounding the events of Michael Jackson’s death.

In October 2015, Janet Jackson released her album *Unbreakable*, which fans believe contains another clue.

One of the tracks, *No Sleeep*, features vocals that some fans believe belong to Michael Jackson.

The song appears to be a duet between Janet and someone whose voice sounds strikingly similar to Michael’s.

Critics initially assumed the other voice belonged to Janet, altered with pitch correction, but some fans believe that Michael secretly recorded with his sister.

Furthermore, in the chorus, it sounds as though one of the voices says, “Don’t believe Michael is dead.”

This has led to speculation that Janet Jackson is sending a secret message to fans, possibly revealing that her brother is still alive.

Lastly, the most famous of all the clues comes from a mysterious figure known as “Dave Dave.”

Dave Dave, born David Rothenberg, is a 33-year-old New Yorker who was severely disfigured in a fire set by his father when he was six years old.

Michael Jackson befriended David and helped pay for his surgeries.

After Jackson’s supposed death, Dave Dave continued to appear in public, and some fans believe that Dave Dave might actually be Michael Jackson in disguise.

Viewers have noticed that Dave Dave’s eyes, nose, mannerisms, and even his voice bear a striking resemblance to Jackson’s.

During an interview on CNN’s *Larry King Live*, Michael Brando, a close friend of Michael Jackson, mentioned that Dave Dave was present at Michael’s funeral and even attended the burial.

Fans point to this as a clue that Michael Jackson could have been hiding in plain sight, living under a different identity.

These four clues—videos, slip-ups, mysterious audio tracks, and the presence of a figure resembling Jackson—have fueled the theory that Michael Jackson may have faked his death and is still alive.

While these clues remain unproven, they continue to intrigue his fans, who hold onto the hope that their beloved star is still out there somewhere.
