Michael's head caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 84. You can read about it on the link, but basically he had portions of his skull exposed due to the damage.

It's arguably the incident that ultimately killed him, as it kicked off his painkiller addition.

Nothing. MJ was a abused child, forced to do showbiz instead of having a childhood. A part of him never grew up because of it which caused him to find comfort with children since they had a similar mindset MJ did due to his trauma.
