The father of a boy who accused Michael Jackson of molestation in 1993 blew out his brains in his luxury New Jersey apartment, cops said Tuesday.
Evan Chandler, 65, whose son received a multimillion-dollar settlement from the King of Pop, was discovered in his 16th- floor waterfront pad in Jersey City with his gun still in his hand.
Chandler took his own life Nov. 5, Jersey City police spokesman Stan Eason said. The concierge of Chandler's building found the body.
"He [Chandler] was on his bed still holding the weapon with a single gunshot wound to the head," Eason said. "It's straightforward. Case closed. It's suicide."
Chandler had been extremely ill and was scheduled to see a hematologist on the day he committed suicide, Eason said.
When Chandler didn't show up for the medical appointment, his doctor called the concierge to go check on him, Eason said.
"There was medication found in [Chandler's apartment] consistent with a serious illness," Eason said.
He said Chandler did not leave a suicide note.
In 1993, Chandler's son, who was then 13, accused Jackson of molesting him at the pop icon's Neverland Ranch in California.
The allegations first surfaced after Evan Chandler, a former Beverly Hills dentist, administered Amytal sodium, known as truth serum, to his son.
The case never went to trial, and a civil suit filed by Evan Chandler and his son was withdrawn after Jackson paid the family $20 million.
Jackson, who died in June from a prescription drug overdose, later said he settled to avoid the circus of a trial. He was acquitted of molesting a different boy in 2005.
In 2006, Chandler's son accused his father of attacking him with a barbell, choking him and spraying his face with Mace. The charges were later dropped.

mike was probably haunting him
Ahhh, so cute, yet so evil.
I'll always wonder if the rumors were true about his Father making him lie to get money.
On one hand its possible. People have done worse for less.
On the other hand, no amount of stress is going to make me pay someone for something Im adamant about not having done.

cosign with 1:44. i would be damned.
probably the guilt finally got to him
Mike went through hell and his health was steadily deteriorating. Those closest to him and his attorneys advised him to settle and told Mike once he did it would all go away. He did what he was advised for the sake of his mental & physical well-being. Mike was weak & sick & family feared he would not be able to survive a trial. He listened to his lawyers and settled. Unfortunately, folks took that as a sign of guilt. MJ never recovered from this bullshit and died broken hearted.
YESH!!! good riddance u pathetic piece of shit!!! now ill sit back and wait for the actually boi to die!!!
KARMA IS REALLY REAL!
@ 6 15 how dare you talk to the dead like that have some respect. and for u ppl out there yall dont know what happened so i suggest u shut up. the only persons who knew what went down was the boy, micheal jackson and god. R I P to the both of u.

you can't be serious.
anyway, you would think with all that multi million dollar settlement the accuser's father got, he'd be eternally happy on earth, but i guess not, this adds new meaning to michael's innocence.
If you think Mike was guilty read this:

Always knew Michael was innocent. Never believed this crap for a minute. There is audio of the creep speaking bluntly about extorting Michael out of money. This low life even wanted Mike to buy him a bigger house, and support some movie he was writing or something of that nature. (He was an "aspiring screenwriter"). When Michael turned down his requests, he accused Michael of molesting his son. Some people are willing to do anything to get what they want....whether it is ethical or not. This fool did not even care how the ordeal affected his son. So, you know he could careless about how this was affecting Michael.
Oh well.....good riddance!!!
Truth Serum gtfoh!!! Michael Jackson didn't touch any of those children that were I'll with Cancer back then. Some of them faked illness. All the Parents just accused him for MONEY PURPOSES! Even the boy said his father made him lie on MJ. This article has lies in it. That man wasnt sick either! He felt bad for what he made his son do. The media in general is something else. Smdh Michael Jackson was innocent on all counts!! F**K the lying money hungry Parents!
