Evan chandler Dead, Father Of Michael Jackson Accuser Commits Suicide

Evan Chandler, the father of the 13-year-old boy who accused Michael Jackson of molesting him in the early 1990s was found dead of an apparent suicide in his Jersey City home earlier this month, reports NJ.com.
Evan Chandler, formerly a Beverly Hills dentist, was found dead on his bed at his luxury apartment building on Nov 5. He had a single gunshot wound to his head and the gun was still in his hand, police said. He was 65.
15 years ago, Jordan Chandler, now 29, and his father, Evan Chandler, accused Michael Jackson of sexual abuse. Tape recordings of Evan Chandler discussing the allegations emerged, where he was captured saying: "If I go through with this, I win big-time. There's no way I lose. I will get everything I want."
The boy and his father also brought a civil lawsuit against the King of Pop, who died on June 25. But the case never went to trial because Michael settled with the Chandler family out of court for $20million.
Jordan and his father became estranged and Jordan even received a restraining order against Evan in 2006, after he allegedly hit his son with a dumbbell.
Evan Chandler was depressed in the final days of his life, according to a family friend.

Well, Michael would not have wanted us to have hate for someone. I feel sorry for everyone involved. Evan has been served justice obviously because he would rather have died then live with himself. It proves that selling one's soul for money sure doesn't bring happiness. RIP Michael, and Evan, I hope you asked God to forgive you before you died. I wouldn't wish hell on anyone.

So Evan, how was that blood money. You were dead for how long before it was noticed.
Evil, evil greedy man.

You idiots do realize that the thing about Jordan Chandler claiming it was all a hoax is, itself, a HOAX, don't you? That's why it this "confession" was never mentioned on CNN, Fox News, CBS News, ABC News, MSNBC, the New York Times, The Washington Post, The London Times, etc... Because it was just a pathetic internet hoax designed to fool people desperate to believe Jackson wasn't what he truly was--a pathetic, drug-addled pederast. This poor man probably offed himself because he couldn't stand seeing the creep who sexually abused his son being deified.

Veritas I agree with one thing. The posting from Jordy Chandler was a hoax, but what you cannot obviously know is the true court documents citing the facts vs. the media because if you were privy to that information, you wouldn't believe Michael did it either. The man hit his own son in the head with a hammer a few years ago and his son pressed chargers. The boy wouldn't even agree that Michael molested him until that gave him a halucenogenic drug where while high on it, then testifies, verbatim what his father said. go look for the facts and don't speak without knowledge the news is under no law to tell us the truth over what sells. read the GQ article on michael by mary fisher.

Evan Chandler was a horrible person and his death may bring some brief satisfaction to some ppl. But it still won't bring Michael back. :'(

Evan Chandler, may you rot in HELL. I spit on your grave, you evil son of a bitch.
Oh and Veritas, I suggest you actually learn how to read court transcripts instead of tabloids before you judge a man you don't even know.

Finally justice has been served. What a relief to hear this kind of news at last. Well Evan Chandler, you are going to stand up in front of God for your final Day of Judgement. I don't wish you to rot in hell though except to wish you good luck, you really need it as there is no escape from justice in front of the one who knows all(God) . Even the $20 million dollars could not intervene today for ya..........

I would like to believe that Evan could not live with his conscience and thus did this deed unto himself. Im sure Michael would not want us to hate anyone but........
I beleive justice has finally been done. Rest in Peace Michael. We love you more than ever.

...this is a horrid thing to say; but finally justice has been served. Lies and greed..has finally caught up with this idiot.I'm glad he has paid the ultimate price. This man ruined MJ's life. however, I'm still waiting for his equally greedy son to tell us the truth - MJ NEVER abused him. if he's a decent person - he should step-up, and tell the world...etc. God forgive me, I'm truely glad the pig is DEAD...yes, forever!

...God forgive me, I'm glad the pig is DEAD forever! He gave MJ a hard time...for something he jolly knew never happened. Now his son should open-up and tell the whole world the truth.

Justice for Michael.

Chandler likely did not kill himself from any kind of guilt. He had a serious illness, had alienated family members, and did not have a lot of money left. He had no regrets over what he did. Please hold no hatred for Jordy. He was a child when all this transpired. Clearly his father was a violent and unhappy man. I hope everyone in this situation rests in peace and that the children of the deceased can have some joy in their lives.

Evan Chandler's manipulation and greed triggered a series of extortion attempts by other lowlifes seeking to become instant millionaires, that destroyed an innocent man's emotional life, and cast a cloud of doubt over his reputation..a reputation that he had worked his ENTIRE life to earn. The heartache, pain, and undue shame that these purely evil deeds placed upon an innocent man, was probably too much for Evan Chandler to live with. But rather than do the right thing , he chose the cowardly way out, without publicly vindicatong Michael. What a small and pathetic person. Hopefully some day Jordan ,who participated in defaming Michael's character, will have the guts to do what's right and come clean. For now he's too busy blowing through $20 million.

Hey, Veritas, I believe in truth. So what did I do? I read up, researched, studied and learned and I'm the better person. What I learned foremost is not to believe the tabloid media. You are their victim if you do. Be discerning in what you read, improve your taste and thereby your mind. Be patient and understand facts and then make your opinion. That's when you come back to us.

Damn I'm happy!
I've also read his story.
He was depressed, was taking a looooot of pills lately and he went trough many cosmetic surgery to try to keep his youth. And he was sued a lot by family and others. His personal life went downhill since 93!! Yes I am talking about Evan Chandler!!! It seems that money only brought him misery, misery and more misery.
Who could have known that selling your soul is bad?? ROFL, this really made my day, week, month and life!!!

Marian, yes I believe you are right. But that doesn't really matter. He lied, manipulated and betrayed Michael. Ok, he didnt feel guilty, who cares. I just wished that Michael wouldn't have gone trough all that pain. But the next best thing happened. Evan Chandler suffered just as much pain for maaaaaaaany years.
Knowing that, I just feel a lot better.

This is a happy day. This horrible man is finally dead. This man got what he deserved. A life wracked with illness and no love from his family.That is karma. Now JORDIE, speak up and tell the truth. You will have no peace until you do. Then donate the millions you got from Michael to one of his charities. Maybe then you will begin to find peace. If not ..your karma awaits.

I have only just heard this news and when I did I thought that this evil man had died I thought that he had gotten what he deserved. Though his actions he had tried to destroy the greatest entertainer and gentle man ever to have walked on this earth. It only goes to show what goes around comes around and although this is not what MJ would have wanted I am sure that those who love MJ for himself finally feel that justice has been done by the highest judge known to us all.

GUILT KILLS. Finally there is some justice for Michael. This is the best news I have heard all year - I hope Evan Chandler's sorry soul is enjoying the greatest torments that hell has to offer. He deserves the eternity of untold misery that now lies before him.
