...star's survivors and friends are also pressing for answers. "The doctor has showed some bizarre behavior," the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who has ministered to the family in recent days, told People. "Apparently, the doctor was with Michael, maybe administering to his back pain. And then, the next thing that happens is there is a 911 call ... Then, of course, the doctor did not confer with the family ... He didn't sign the death certificate. He didn't talk with the coroner. And then he was missing in action.

...Granted, Yao's star has faded slightly in China, his jersey being outsold in recent years by other NBA stars like Kobe Bryant. But he is still closely followed. "I'm so bummed out about his injury," says Yan Xin, 27, a Yao fan who never misses a Rockets game when they are televised in China. "In hindsight, he should have just focused on the NBA, and not be forced to play for the Chinese national team. I can't imagine how anyone can deal with such overwhelming pressure and intense schedules." (See pictures of China's sports schools...
