Internet site 68comeback reported that Jackson was living in a 'bunker' with Elvis Presley.
It wrote: 'Surely you've heard of the secret, seven-storey-deep bunker that Elvis Presley had built underneath Graceland, prior to faking his own death? MJ lives there now with Elvis and certain other "dead" celebrities. You don't have to be sad for him any more.'

Moments later, another fan called Elisa Chan claimed she had seen Jackson strapping on a jetpack and flying to Los Angeles airport. From there he was going to visit his birthplace of Gary, Indiana, before flying to Greenland to live with Eskimos.
Escaping hit O2 commitments
Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton alleged Jackson was 'pulling a stunt' in order to get out of his concert commitments at the O2 in London.
Hilton added: 'Jacko pulled a similar stunt when he was getting ready for his big HBO special in '95 when he "collapsed" at rehearsal!
'He was dragging his heels on that just like his upcoming 50- date London residency at the O2 Arena, of which he already postponed the first few dates.'
Killed by a biological weapon
Contributors to the website topix.com suggested that Jackson had been killed by a 'new experimental biological weapon'.
Faked his death at Neverland
On the internet site weekleyworldnews.com there was discussion about claims that Jackson had always planned to fake his own death while living at his Neverland ranch.
He would have his 'ashes' scattered in the grounds of his former property and then be able to start a new life.
As newspapers across the world report Jackson's death, some bloggers on the web are insisting the star faked his death
Despite video footage of Jackson's body being carried away in a waiting van to the coroner's office, some people spread bizarre rumours that he was in fact taking a jetpack to live with Eskimos
Already has a new identity
The digitalspy website message board included the claim: 'Millions in debt and realises he can't deliver on a 50 gig comeback tour, so he fakes his death, assumes a new identity (which he's been trying to achieve for many years) and disappears.'
Ploy to sell more records
On the denverpost.com forum one contributor was convinced Jackson faked his own death to make more money, explaining: 'He was broke. .. and was in no condition to perform one show, let alone a string of 50.
'Now that he's "dead" his record and merchandise sales will skyrocket, filling his "estate's" bank account and allowing him to live in seclusion for the rest of his natural life.'
