A Russian look-alike of Michael Jackson attempted suicide by slitting his wrists following reports of the star’s death. Pavel Talalayev, who was rescued by doctors said he was “unable to handle the pain of the loss”. “I started receiving calls from other fans, I tried to calm them down and then let myself go,” Life.ru website quoted him.
“I don’t know why the doctors saved me. I want to be with Michael, and I will kill myself anyway,” Talalayev said.
It took Talalayev 15 years to look like Jackson. He had several plastic surgeries, bought Jackson’s costumes and spent hours rehearsing the King of Pop’s dances moves, said Mosnews website.
