Michael Jackson Autopsy TV Special Cancelled

Fact Check:
1) The show, "Michael Jackson's Autopsy: What Really Killed Michael Jackson," was set to air in several countries in Europe and in the United Kingdom on January 13.
2) Discovery networks said, "Given the commencement of legal proceedings beginning next week, and at the request of Michael Jackson's estate, the scheduled broadcast of the medical documentary related to Michael Jackson's official autopsy has been postponed indefinitely."
3) Co-executors of his estate sent a letter to Discovery Networks calling the program "insensitive" and "in shockingly bad taste."

Questions:
1) Was this show really made just to prove to people he was dead?
2) Was the show already made so it could possibly still circulate?

Extra Details:
It would have been a disgrace if they did air this show. Even the executors of his estate thought it was stupid. There are way too many MJ lovers that want to know every single thing about him in every way possible. It's good that Discovery wised up but they should never have signed him in the first place.

    LOLLLLLLLLZZZZ JK!
    I think that although this special may have been interesting, I do think that this would be in bad taste and an invasion of privacy.
