This news is really sad. It's a shame his life ended this way.
Somehow it makes me wonder if maybe his dealings with the King of Pop wasn't what he expected. All the settlement money didn't seem to bring him or his family any peace or satisifaction. It's another case of being careful of getting what you wished for. RIP.
I was a huge MJ trial follower & remember quite well when some of the Chandler info leaked .
FWIW it ruined the Chandler's(who werent solid to begin with imo).Evan's reputation & lucrative dental practice was ruined.Hethen had extensive plastic surgery to change his appearance and the rest of the family went into seclusion and to this day is forced to keep a very low profile.
Jordy is still hounded to this day by foreign media and crazed MJ fans.
I do not believe either of the Chandlers(remember it was JC's mother who really facilitated alot of the "relationship" :sick wanted or planned JC to be molested.
I think their own personal problems coupled with greed and selfishness & love of a celebrity,"hollywood" lifestyle got the best of them and in alot of ways,its no different than the single Mother who "looks the other way" out of denial & fear & selfishness when her BF ,who supports the household,molests her child.
Neither is acceptable & the Chandlers couldve & shouldve turned down the settlement & gone to LE however they knew what would happen(look at the family in MJ's trial-they got raked over the coals & saw no justice).
Its a horrible situation I hope Im never in & wouldnt wish on anybody.........
I will die believe MJ had many more victims.....
i don't believe he'd commit suicide now -after all this time- b/c he felt guilty for not protecting his son from a child molester. i think he did this b/c of the guilt of now finding out how emotionally destroyed MJ was (the evidence being all the drug use/addiction, chronic insomnia etc that has been reported/uncovered since MJ's death) after all the untrue molestation allegations began (guided by greed and vision$ of dollar$). the chandlers were the first to allege molestation if i'm not mistaken ?
i see this is not an opinion shared by most in this thread, but for me, this is the only scenario that makes any sense.
The man was gravely and terminally ill, in pain and alone.......... I don't think it had anything to do with MJ
i'll believe he was "gravely ill" when a doctor confirms this not his loved ones-- who certainly would try to continue to lie/protect him. so far, both doctors and police are not commenting on exactly what his illness was... seems it would be an easy thing to comment on.
the pills could be sleep aids or anti-depressants. they might not be related to any other illness.
and the NY Post? not exactly the most credible "newspaper"... according to a survey conducted by Pace University in 2004, the Post was rated the least-credible major news outlet in New York, and the only news outlet to receive more responses calling it "not credible" than credible (44% not credible to 39% credible).

i liken it's sensationalism and headlines more like a tabloid.
btw, if i were "gravely and terminally ill", i would spend the time i had left trying to make amends with people if i were isolated and alone, not kill myself.
again, for me-- his death reeks of selfishness and guilt. selfishness b/c he knew he couldn't/didn't even want to try to make things up to the people he had ostracized, and guilt b/c he alone knew he was responsible for the pain of several people, including his own son and MJ.
:twocents:
I won't reveal what I believe to be the story about the allegations of MJ molesting children. But, I do wonder if Mr. Chandler became the victim of additional harassment and hate since MJ's death? I'm finding the timing of Chandler's death follows a little too closely to MJ. Probably isn't the only reason he chose to end his life, but I'm willing to bet it did add to his unhappiness.
