Michael Jackson: Who Tweeted His Death First?

I tried to do some research to figure this out and I came across some strange results. This result here posted yesterday (June 24th) seems to be the oldest mention of Michael Jackson’s death, from a Twitter’er named Aimee Mitchell. Who when you visit her profile history, has deleted her previous mention of MJ’s passing. Additionally, Aimee’s history only goes back to June 20th. Very, very bizarre. There’s an earlier tweet below Aimee’s that also mentions MJ’s death but it’s repetitive/spammy and shows up multiple times under multiple accounts within older posts. It just seems coincidental.

UPDATE: TMZ is credited with first publishing Jackson’s death Thursday, June 25 at 5:20 PM
