Michael Jackson Alive & Posing As Burn Victim Dave Dave, Fans Say

The conspiracy theories surrounding the death of pop great are reaching Elvis proportions — a fansite that claims the King of Pop is posing as a burns victim is receiving more than a million hits a day. According to MichaelJacksonHoax.com, the “Dirty Diana” star is masquerading as Dave Dave, a 33-year-old burn victim he befriended as a child.

Dave was born David Rothenberg, in Brooklyn, New York. At the age of six, his father set him on fire to exact revenge on his mother during a bitter child custody case. The little boy suffered 90 percent injuries, and was scarred badly, but survived. His mother, Marie wrote a book on his ordeal, which was then made into a movie. A trip to Jackson’s Neverland ranch was organized for the boy, where the pop star took the boy under his wing.

Now Dave, who appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live to talk about his memories of Jackson on the day of the star’s memorial service last year, is rumored to be the music legend himself. MJ’s most fanatical fans claim Dave’s voice and mannerisms are identical to Michael’s, and his eyes have changed from blue/green to brown.

Dave, now a law student living in Utah, changed his surname to break all ties with his father.

“He befriended me. He took me into his life, which is very rare for Michael to do, nut he opened up his arms to me and accepted me as a very good friend of his. And throughout the years, he never let me go,” he told King in the interview last July.
