TDW 1280 - The House Where Michael Jackson Died

0:05 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here

0:05 coming to you from the corner of

0:06 Carolwood Drive

0:09 and Sunset Boulevard in an upscale area

0:13 of Los Angeles by the name of Homie

0:16 Hills. And this is actually the area

0:18 where Michael Jackson spent the last few

0:21 moments of his life. In fact, he

0:23 actually resided in a house that is

0:26 disguised by the shrubbery and a very

0:29 immense, highly protected brick and

0:32 concrete wall. And I thought being a

0:34 Michael Jackson fan, I've actually also

0:37 brought my Michael Jackson pin, which is

0:39 also normally adorned on this sweet

0:42 thrift store jacket. And of course, here

0:44 with Madam the Woo. Hi. And we are

0:46 roaming

0:47 around Los Angeles, if you will. And not

0:50 only is Michael Jackson's home down

0:52 here, but they also sell hot star maps.

0:57 Los Angeles and Hollywood is a mecca for

0:59 tourists to come and show up to the

1:01 homes and the places where the stomping

1:04 grounds of celebrities are. And this

1:07 little area is no exception. Once a very

1:11 peaceful, rich neighborhood that not a

1:13 lot of tourists flock to. All that

1:16 changed in

1:17 2009 when Michael Jackson unfortunately

1:21 passed away right

1:24 behind these shrubs. And the address

1:27 here is 100

1:30 Carolwood Drive. So if you actually want

1:33 to go on Google satellite view, you can

1:35 see exactly where we are. And you can

1:37 see other people are also in the

1:38 neighborhood. You can see these tour

1:40 vans that actually go by all hours of

1:43 the day. No matter what day of the week

1:45 it is, no matter what time of day, there

1:47 are always tourists driving around Los

1:49 Angeles. And definitely in this area to

1:53 pay their respects and to see the final

1:56 spot that Michael Jackson actually

1:59 resided and

2:00 lived. It's kind of a tragic tale.

2:03 Actually, Michael Jackson died in 2009.

2:06 And a lot of people thought it was

2:06 because of health complications, but it

2:09 was discovered after the fact that he

2:12 was it was actually the doctor, his

2:14 doctor was to blame. And the doctor, his

2:16 medical practitioner, his personal

2:18 practitioner spent two years in prison.

2:21 Wow. Not for murder, but for what is not

2:24 what is when someone commits a crime and

2:26 someone dies, they don't get convicted

2:28 of murder, but there is another name for

2:30 it. Homicide. Manslaughter. Oh man,

2:34 manslaughter, which is not a laughable

2:35 matter. I mean, I guess it is kind of

2:37 funny now that we look back on it, but

2:39 very sad tale. Michael Jackson was

2:43 living here and in 2009, what was June?

2:45 I think it was June 25th. Yep. 2009.

2:50 Right behind these walls. And I want to

2:51 show you the gates. I want to show you

2:54 the gates of where the ambulance

2:57 actually pulled

2:58 in. And I want to show you exactly where

3:01 all of that news media happened. It was

3:05 all right

3:07 here. There are the

3:09 gates, the Michael Jackson gates. Now,

3:13 if you were to walk through these gates,

3:14 not very far is the front door, the

3:17 front door of the property. And then on

3:19 the back side is the swimming pool. And

3:21 you can actually look up some photos

3:23 online. You can actually see the

3:24 ambulance pulling in and out. I'm going

3:26 to need an ambulance soon if I do not

3:28 get out of the road.

3:29 But the thing that I find very

3:31 interesting is there are actually signs

3:33 here that say attack dogs on premises.

3:37 Look at

3:39 this. That is a

3:41 terrifying. That dog right there would

3:44 rip my head off. If I peeked my head

3:48 around that, I would actually get my

3:50 head ripped off. But these are the

3:53 famous gates right here. And look at

3:55 these. These are pretty awesome.

3:57 these old rot

4:00 iron lights out here in front of these

4:02 majestic pillars. But here is the house

4:06 of Michael

4:08 Jackson. Should we look inside here?

4:11 Should we look inside

4:14 there? Oh my goodness.

4:18 Can you see inside there? I don't know.

4:20 Yeah. I don't know if I could see.

4:27 I'm not sure if you guys can see inside

4:27 there. Can you see? Yeah, it's huge.

4:36 What are you guys doing?

4:36 Oh, yeah. We're just getting a little

4:37 peek. We're getting a little peek into

4:40 into Michael Jackson's former home. So,

4:42 there you go. The cameras I can deal

4:44 with. I can handle I can handle the

4:47 cameras. The thing I cannot handle are

4:49 the dogs. the dogs that look like that.

4:52 Now, the women over here who are selling

4:54 these star maps are yelling and

4:56 screaming at us because obviously they

4:58 have a lot of consideration

5:01 for celebrities and Michael Jackson by

5:03 selling $25 star maps. Okay, so this is

5:06 it. Let's get a moment of quietness now

5:09 here at Michael Jackson's former estate.

5:12 Oh, there's one last little thing, too.

5:14 There's one last little thing right

5:16 here. The

5:17 mailbox. The mailbox that is right here.

5:20 They've actually changed the mailbox. It

5:22 used to have the number 100 on it, but

5:24 because so many people, like all these

5:26 people that are driving by, they have

5:28 emitted there is nothing on the curb or

5:31 on the side of the mailbox that actually

5:34 shows the address, which is number 100

5:38 that has been actually moved. And the

5:40 interesting thing is before I started

5:42 the vlog, we were standing on the corner

5:43 and there was a woman, which I'm

5:45 thinking is a fan of Michael Jackson

5:47 that was camped out on the corner. She

5:49 walked this way. I'm not even kidding.

5:52 She actually opened the mailbox. She

5:54 did. And she I'm not even kidding. She

5:57 took mail out of this mailbox, which I

6:01 think is a federal offense. So if So if

6:06 the police were to arrive and there were

6:08 cameras, who do you think would be

6:09 scolding me? Me for walking up and

6:12 peeking through the gate or the woman

6:14 who was here 5 minutes prior that

6:17 actually stole

6:18 mail. Do you think Michael Jackson's

6:21 still getting mail here? Probably not.

6:23 All right, we're going to go before

6:24 these ladies have a conipion fifth

6:26 behind us. They're just kind of mad

6:29 because we didn't spend the $25 on the

6:30 star map. Google. You could just You

6:33 could just Google where stars live. So,

6:34 there you go, guys. There you go. Kind

6:37 of a little sad story. Didn't mean to

6:39 make light of this. I am obviously a big

6:41 fan of Michael Jackson. Very sad tale.

6:44 This is where it all came to an end for

6:47 the king of pop, the legendary Michael

6:50 Jackson right

6:51 here on this beautiful

6:54 road kind of in the area of Beverly

6:56 Hills, Hollywood, West Hollywood, Los

6:59 Angeles, Home Hills, which is kind of

7:02 interesting because Bair is just

7:04 basically right next door. And in the

7:06 Bair, the Fresh Prince of Bair, he says,

7:08 "Yo, home, smell you later." Maybe he's

7:11 talking about this area. Hey, Homely

7:13 Hills. I'll smell you

7:15 later. All right, guys. One last look.

7:19 The thing is, I've actually parked down

7:23 that way. We have to actually walk back

7:25 past those women who are going to

7:26 probably yell and scream at us. But look

7:28 at this. They're over there trying to

7:30 sell some star maps.

7:32 And we were kind of at first we were

7:34 like, let's get the star maps. Can't be

7:35 more than $10. $25 for basically

7:38 something you go to Kinko's and print

7:40 out for a quarter. Yeah. or maybe a

7:42 dollar cuz it isn't

7:44 color. So, they're making $24 and they

7:47 they have the audacity to yell and

7:49 scream. This woman Oh, no. wearing this.

7:51 Look at this. She's wearing a Michael

7:52 Jacksonesque hat. Like a smooth criminal

7:54 kind of hat. Have you ever seen the

7:56 video smooth criminal? She is actually

7:58 wearing a Michael Jackson smooth

8:00 criminal. I wonder if she could do that

8:02 Michael Jackson lean. You know where

8:04 like Michael Jackson does that weird

8:05 lean? I don't know how he ever did that

8:07 either. I think there was actually metal

8:08 spikes in the stage and he would mount

8:11 in there and like lean forward. If she

8:14 did that, she would probably break like

8:15 an ankle or some other body part which

8:18 you do not want to document. All right,

8:20 I'm going to let you guys go. We'll see

8:21 you guys later. This vlog was a little

8:24 funner than I thought it, which probably

8:26 should not be have been so fun with the

8:28 subject matter of what it is. It's

8:30 really hard to believe that it's been

8:32 seven years, six and a half years. Six

8:35 and a half years since Michael Jackson

8:37 has passed away. All right, see you guys

8:39 later. One last look at my sweet Michael

8:41 Jackson

8:43 pen. See you guys later. Bye.
