My advice is to say no to drugs. As far as a powerful painkiller, that is what Bruce Lee took before he died. It was a prescription drug but was not prescribed for him but for the woman he was visiting. Another very, very popular painkiller was Vioxx. Wasn't Presley taking a lot of drugs (medications) before he died?

This article did not mention skin cancer but did mention drugs. "Jackson, who fought long-running battles with prescription medication throughout his career, was taking the drugs after suffering injuries during training for his comeback, lawyer and spokesman Brian Oxman said.

Oxman told CNN that he had harboured concerns about Jackson's use of drugs, saying members of the star's entourage were "enablers'' and comparing his case to the drug overdose death of Playboy centrefold Anna-Nicole Smith.

"This is not something that has been unexpected... because of the medications which Michael was under,'' Oxman said."
