A photograph of a passenger in Mexico who bears a resemblance to Michael Jackson has sparked a wave of reactions online, with some social-media users jokingly asking whether the legendary performer could somehow still be alive.
The image appears to show an older man sitting on a bus, and his facial features and overall appearance reminded some viewers of the late King of Pop. After the photograph was shared online, comments quickly began appearing from people surprised by the resemblance.
Some users took the joke even further, asking, “What if Michael Jackson never died?”
A Look-Alike, Not Evidence of a Secret Life
The photograph may be entertaining, but there is no reliable evidence that the man pictured is Michael Jackson or that the singer secretly disappeared.
Michael Jackson died in Los Angeles on June 25, 2009. His death was investigated by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, which is responsible for investigating sudden and unusual deaths in the county and determining their circumstances and cause.
The resemblance has therefore become more of an internet curiosity than a genuine mystery.
