Today marks the 3-year anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson — an event that had an impact across the globe.

Tons of lives have been changed since that fateful day … Conrad Murray went to jail … MJ’s kids have moved in with their grandmother … numerous doctors have been exposed for sucking up to celebrities and giving them pills they shouldn’t have … and Corey Feldman got another 15 minutes of fame.

Of course, the world mourned together during MJ’s memorial service at the Staples Center in Los Angeles … when his daughter Paris choked back tears and said how much she loved her father … and when Jermaine performed his touching rendition of “Smile.”

Michael was eventually laid to rest at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, CA.

He was only 50-years-old.
