The father of a boy who accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse has committed suicide.
Evan Chandler – whose son Jordan was 13 when he claimed in 1993 the pop star had molested him – was discovered in bed holding a firearm with a gun shot wound to the head. He was 65
The former Beverly Hills dentist was found by a concierge at his waterfront Jersey City apartment in New Jersey on November 5 after he failed to keep a doctors appointment.
News of his death only emerged yesterday.
It comes just five months after his son’s alleged abuser Michael Jackson died at his Los Angeles home from acute Propofol intoxication.
A police source said: “We have ruled it as suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body. He had a single bullet wound to the side of his head.
“There was no note but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition.”
Dad-of–four Chandler’s claim that Jackson had abused his son triggered the singer’s fall from grace in the early 90s.
A 13-month police probe followed including a raid on Jackson’s Neverland Ranch, in California.
The case never reached court after Jordy was given a $22 million settlement and signed a contract agreeing never to talk about the allegations.
After the public furore following the allegations, divorcee Evan underwent a series of bizarre cosmetic surgery operations, just as Michael did.
Jordan – now 29 and living in Long Island, New York, under an assumed name – had fallen out with his father.
He took out a restraining order against him in 1996 claiming his dad had attacked him with a dumbbell weight.
In the same year, Evan filed a $60 million lawsuit against Michael and his then-wife Lisa Marie Presley for talking about the case – allegedly breaching the confidentiality contract.
The officer in charge of the suicide probe, former Santa Barbara County Sheriff Jim Thomas, said yesterday: “Everybody in this whole saga was touched tragically.”
Celebrity jail mugs
i think that kid and that whole family should just go to hell they are a waist of life and people like them shouldnt be on this earth pieces of crap.
You are so cruel how bout you go to hell you bitch anybody is a piece of crap is YOU
Kathleen is right about the MJ accusers.
And you, it is rude to call anyone a’bitch’.
how can you say that, you know nothing about the family or what they have been through. You are a terrible and ignorant person for making that kind of accusation and you put yourself below everyone when you stoop to that level. I pray that for everyone’s sake you think things through before you pass such judgments in the future.
I am a big fan of Michael Jackson please I beg yall please let his name rest he been dead for 5 months let him rest in peace damn I bet he turning over in his grave and saying leave me alone let my name rest in peace.
go to hell
You have a split personality.
You know what, I bet he was guilty of the accusations that his family made and Jordan and his family was all about the money anyways. They say an opportunity and they took it. Things are coming back to haunt them one by one.
Right on honey.
I agree with anita, guilty is eating at his family. when you accuse
someone of something they didn’t do it will come back and haunt you.
Thats right.
I have no sympathy for Evan or Jordan Chandler, as the deceased was recorded on tape having said that he would get Michael where it hurts in the pocket….MJ was going to make him a rich man. Suicide is an unforgivable sin, so Evan will have several things to answer to when he stands before judgement, he will lift up his eyes in hell.
RIP MJ….Pray and repent for forgiveness Jordan while you still have a chance. You still have an opportunity to make things right.
Michael Jackson was incredible, he was such a legend in every right. Here’s to wishing his heart and love live on forever. Long live MJ!
