The Jackson family blame the inner circle around him for his death
Friday, 3 July 2009
The phone call Katherine Jackson always feared she’d receive finally came on that fateful Thursday, informing her that her son Michael had died.
For months, she’d tried to grow closer to her son and wean him off the painkillers, which eventually cost him his life.
In heartbreaking scenes, Katherine dashed to the UCLA Medical Centre and was closely followed by Michael’s brothers Jermaine and Randy and sister La Toya, who was seen in floods of tears as she rushed to the hospital entrance.
As Jermaine told waiting reporters and fans that his brother had died, his family were pointing the finger of blame on the close inner circle that surrounded Michael.
The family’s lawyer Brian Oxman said: ‘This was something which I feared and something which I warned about. This is a case of abuse of medication, unless there’s another cause that I don’t know about. Where there is smoke there is fire.
'This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was abuse, then that’s nothing in comparison to what we’ve been seeing in Michael Jackson’s life.
‘Michael had appeared at the rehearsals. He was very seriously trying to be able to do these rehearsals. But his use of medications had become in the way and injuries he had sustained performing had got in the way.
‘He had broken a vertebrae performing and he had broken his leg in a fall from the stage. I don’t know what medication he was using, but the reports that we have been receiving in the family were that it was extensive.’
Adding to the mysterious circumstances of Michael’s death, it emerged his personal physician Dr Tohme R Tohme was at the house at the time of his death, but his attempts to revive him failed.
Jackson’s brother Randy was also part of a posse of up to a dozen aides who were also present.
‘The family are furious, as there were people around Michael who didn’t care about his health at all, it was like he was on a death sentence with all the drugs he was taking and people were not only letting him, but not stopping him,’ says our source.
