British magazine prints photo of Michael Jackson’s final moments

OK! Went with a morbid cover over a sentimental one

Michael Jackson’s untimely death has spawned all sorts of magazine tributes (including a Maclean’s special issue now available on newsstands.) But the celebrity gossip glossy OK! has upped the ante by publishing what they claim are the final pictures of a dying Jackson on their cover. Mediaweek reports that the British-owned publication paid about US $500,000 for the macabre stills. An investment they expect to more than recoup.
