A newly unearthed email from Jeffrey Epstein's private communications asking "Is Michael Jackson back from vacation?"—sent in March 2013, nearly four years after the King of Pop's June 2009 death—has ignited a firestorm of speculation online as the Department of Justice releases millions of pages from the Epstein investigation. The viral email, part of the massive document dump ordered by Congress under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, shows the convicted sex offender's inner circle discussing the late singer in the present tense years after his passing.
A Jmail email dated March 5, 2013, at 10:00 AM has captured global attention, showing a sender asking recipients: "is michael jackson back from vacation?" The message, part of the thousands of pages of Epstein communications released by the Justice Department, includes a forwarded subject line indicating this was part of an ongoing conversation. Below the query, simple email interface options show "← Reply" and "More options," suggesting this was a routine check-in about the singer's availability or activities . Here's the official portal Jmail.
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50, after suffering cardiac arrest caused by acute propofol intoxication at his Los Angeles home. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter for administering the surgical anesthetic that killed the singer. The email was sent three years and eight months after Jackson's official death date.
The newly released Epstein files contain multiple references to the King of Pop across various materials. Photographs included in the document dump show Jackson alongside Epstein at social gatherings, though the specific context of these meetings remains unclear . Legal experts emphasize that presence in photographs or contact lists does not imply involvement in criminal activity .
Jackson's name appears in Epstein's contact books and among luminaries photographed with the disgraced financier, alongside figures such as former president Bill Clinton, Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger, and Britain's Prince Andrew . The Taipei Times reported that the released materials include numerous photographs depicting Clinton and other celebrities including Jackson in Epstein's social circle .
The circumstances surrounding Jackson's death are established by law and are widely documented. Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, discovered him unconscious at his Los Angeles home on North Carolwood Drive on June 25, 2009. At 2:26 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time, he was declared dead at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center despite efforts at resuscitation.
The Los Angeles County coroner classified Jackson's death as a homicide on August 28, 2009, determining that the singer died from acute propofol intoxication exacerbated by the anxiolytic lorazepam. Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 2011 and served two years of a four-year sentence . Rolling Stone reported at the time that Jackson was in Los Angeles rehearsing for his "This Is It" comeback concerts scheduled to begin July 13, 2009, at London's O2 Arena .
The Epstein files release has been marked by extensive redactions, frustrating victims and transparency advocates. The Central News Agency reported that victims have criticized the heavily blacked-out pages, with one Epstein accuser telling CBS: "Just release the files, don't black out names that don't need to be hidden. Are we protecting survivors or protecting the elite?" .
One document of 119 pages related to a New York grand jury was completely blacked out, while seven pages listing 254 masseuses had every name buried beneath thick black bars with the note "redacted to protect potential victim information" . US Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called the release a violation of transparency, stating that "simply releasing a mountain of blacked-out pages violates the spirit of transparency and the letter of the law" .
