R/£ Jackson abuse accuser dies from unknown causes
November 21, 2009 Edition 1
NEW YORK: Evan Chandler, the man who sensationally accused Michael Jackson of molesting his 13-year-old son, has been found dead.
He died on Monday in Jersey City, New Jersey, but the cause remained unclear this week. It is also not clear where in Jersey City the body of the former Beverly Hills dentist was found.
"I won't confirm or deny anything," said Chandler's brother, Raymond, a lawyer.
Another family source said Chandler, 65, had undergone plastic surgery and regularly had Botox injections in his face.
Chandler's claim that Jackson sexually abused his son, Jordan, initiated the King of Pop's fall from grace in the early 1990s.
A 13-month police probe was launched into the molestation allegations, including a raid on Jackson's Neverland ranch near Santa Barbara, California.
But the case never went to trial because the boy received a £13 million (R164m) civil settlement from Jackson.
Both parties signed a confidentiality agreement. - Daily Mail
