oh, I think he was "emotionally" scarred long before the burn incident.
I think that part of the reason why it took a few extra seconds before someone helped was because of a variety of factors: 1) they were filming a commercial. the people involved had specific things they were to do--and those were their focus. 2) fireworks had just gone off. I don't think it registered w/ some that the flames they were seeing were actually on his head and not just residual fire/flames from the fireworks, 3) when you see something like that, you think "if he is on fire, surely he knows that!" It just doesn't register.
I don't think that the emotional scars MJ had are the result of a delay in people helping him. Now, he very well could have experienced some PTSD and by all reports he developed a prescription drug addiction--but, a delay in response wasn't the cause of his "issues".
A lot of "stars" and wealthy people are eccentric (or just plain crazy)--so it wouldn't surprise me if MJ was a packrat/hoarder, or was a "slob".
