Today is the two-year anniversary of Michael Jackson's death -- and the saga has played out like a soap opera about betrayal, jealousy, love, greed and redemption.
When TMZ broke the news, it triggered a flood of stories about Jackson's struggles with drugs, the doctors who enabled him, the mystery surrounding his death, a little known drug called propofol, a family war against Michael's estate, a full court press to erase Michael's debt, and a posthumous marketing campaign to rival Elvis.
Take a look at TMZ's timeline from the moment we found something was terribly wrong with Michael.

Take a look at TMZ's timeline from the moment we found something was terribly wrong with Michael.
Lloyd's of লন্ডন has gone to court ... asking a judge to let the company off the financial hook, claiming it doesn't owe the Michael Jackson Estate $17.5 million on grounds MJ was a fraud.
The company issued the muilti-million dollar policy to cover the doomed "This Is It" tour for losses.
But Lloyd's claims it doesn't have to honor the policy for 2 primary reasons:
1. Michael Jackson and AEG allegedly lied about Michael's medical history -- specifically, MJ ব্যক্ত he had not seen a doctor other than a cosmetic MD since June, 2005.
2. Michael did not disclose he was taking prescription drugs prior to and at the time of his death -- including Propofol.
Lloyd's is asking the court for a declaration that the policy is null and void as a result of the alleged fraud.
Howard Weitzman, the lawyer for the Estate, tells TMZ, "This legal action is nothing আরো than an insurance company trying to avoid paying a legitimate claim দ্বারা the insured."

Michael Jackson অনুরাগী are scrambling to stop the Discovery Channel from broadcasting a gruesome reenactment of MJ's autopsy ... calling the whole thing an "affront to human dignity."
TMZ has learned ... অনুরাগী have already collected nearly 1,500 signatures -- all demanding the network pull the plug on a special entitled "Michael Jackson's Autopsy" ... in which MJ's bloody autopsy is expected to be reenacted in gory detail.

The petition states, “We ask the directors of the Discovery Channel programming to proceed with the outright cancellation of this indecent documentary.”
The doc is scheduled to air January 13th in the UK.

All alone wishing on stars
Waiting for আপনি to find me
One sweet night I knew I would see
A stranger who'd be my friend
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Like it was written in the stars I knew
My friend, my someone in the dark was you
Promise me we'll always be
Walking the world together
Hand in hand where dreams never end
My তারকা secret friend and me
When someone in the dark reaches out to you
And touches off a spark that comes shining through
It tells আপনি never be afraid
Then somewhere in your হৃদয় আপনি can feel the glow
A light to keep আপনি warm when the night winds blow
Look for the রামধনু in the sky
I believe আপনি and I
Could never really say goodbye
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
Wherever আপনি may be
I'll look up and see
Someone in the dark for me
