Thanks to that ghoulish prescience, Halperin has become a staple figure in the postmortem media frenzy. He claimed that Jackson was dying from a rare protein disorder called Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. Alpha-1, a genetic disorder, can seriously damage the lungs and liver and in some cases cause blindness. But cardiac arrest, the ostensible cause of Jackson's death, is not normally associated with the disease, a spokesperson for the Alpha-1 Association of America said Monday.
Halperin declined comment, except to say that he has been working on the book for six years and it is no rush job. “I timed it because I knew around this time he was a candidate to die. I'm being totally upfront about that.”
That's a little creepy
