Man Whose Son Accused Michael Jackson of Molestation Found Dead

Evan Chandler -- the father of
Jordan Chandler, who accused
Michael Jackson of molesting him -- was found dead early this month of a gunshot wound to the head, the
New York Post reports.
The 65-year-old former dentist was discovered in his Jersey City apartment with a .38-caliber revolver in his hand, officials say. The building's concierge found the body. No note has been found, but police officials believe it's an open-shut case.
"He [Chandler] was on his bed still holding the weapon with a single gunshot wound to the head," Jersey City police spokesman Stan Eason told reporters. "It's straightforward. Case closed. It's suicide."
Eason said Chandler was gravely ill and scheduled to see a hermatologist on the day he died. When he didn't make his appointment, the doctor called the concierge to check on him.
"There was medication found in the apartment consistent with a serious illness," Eason said.
In the 1990s, Jordan Chandler and his parents received $20 million settlement from Jackson over the sexual abuse claims, although the late King of Pop was never charged with the crime.
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.
According to a family friend, Evan Chandler was depressed in the final days of his life. "Over the years, [Evan] began to develop tremendous mood swings. He was always depressed," the friend said.
Chandler was once a prominent Beverly Hills dentist, but his business and personal life collapsed due to the strain of his son's claims against Jackson. According to reports, he has undergone several plastic surgeries in order to disguise himself from angry Jackson fans.

Think about this: if someone molested your child, how much money would it take to satisfy the pain of abuse that my child endured? If you're a loving parent who truly cared about your child's well-being, you would say "There would never be enough money to give back what was lost from my child." Face it, there is no price tag on that. I never once believed MJ was guilty, because MONEY can never replace what would have been lost. Only the suffering of the other person who harmed my child would be sufficient. No dollar signs necessary.
This is why I always knew that the whole thing was about money, period. MJ, on the advice of his lawyers, gave the Chandlers the money to make the situation go away, so he could get on with his life. His kindness and generosity to people unfortunately was his downfall, because there are so many leeches out there who were more than willing to take advantage of it. Later on, the kid recanted his claim, stating that the whole thing was a lie his father made up to exhort money from MJ. But you would rather believe the worst of what you hear, not even checking to see if there is any truth to it.
On the death of Evan Chandler, all I have to say is good riddance! Karma is a biatch!!
Ah, like, how many of you think it's o.k. to share your bed with unrelated young boys? Methinks there is something afoot, Cassius.
ABSOLUTELY ! MOST PEOPLE ON THIS BLOG ARE SIMPLY STUPID, THEY GAINED A LITTLE HIGH SCHOOL EDUCATION AND NOW BELIEVE THEY HAVE INTELLIGENCE. ANY GROWN MAN WHO SLEEPS WITH CHILDREN NOT THEIR OWN- ARE PRETTY SICK AND DEMENTED. HIS FANS THINK OTHERWSIE, BUT THEY JUST DONT HAVE A CLUE, BLINDED BY IGNORANCE. TYPICAL WITH TODAYS SOCIETY.
You dumb hillbillys learn to read... its called an insurance policy thats what paid the 20 million he made his insurance co pay it. so wasnt any skin from him
The way I see it is what kinda person accepts money from someone that supposedly molested their child.
NO ONE in the right mind would, if your really wanting justice they woulda had charges put against him.
So yeah both familys were in it for the money. I know if someone did that to my child no amount of money is gonna make me go away. So in my opinion i really dont think he did anything to them children and im not even a MJ fan.
Like a few above said at least one of the children came forward and said it was a big ass lie.
quiet whom? certainly not you.
The question still remains as to why did the family take 20 mil for Jordan, then 2 mil each for themselves. Michael is an entertainer, with a reputation to uphold and when the extortioners came biting for the buck, his attorneys advised him to settle and be done with these people. It amazes me how some do not see that normal people would never take money if their child was really molested. They would be outraged, not avaricious. They would be on television blasting Michael and demanding that he be arrested. Yet, they took the time to negotiate money and not call the police? What honest, loving parents do that? Certainly not one that hits his son with a barbell!
i would like to tell u rob that jordan chandler actually admitted that he lied about saying that michael molested him.michael is a gentle sweet innocent person that needed help and no one would help him rest in peace michael we love u
POOR GUY FELT GUILTY CAUSE HE COULDNT PROTECT HIS CHILD FROM THAT PEDERAST.JACKSON WAS KILLED BY HIS DRUG HABIT AND HIS INADEQUATE DOCTER.

WOW! excellent spelling and grammer! I believe you because....your so smart!
You really should learn to spell. Perhaps if you read more you could not only improve your spelling, you might also improve your opinions with actual facts.
Oh, do let me criticize somebody about spelling and grammar..... by using the word grammer!!!
And, will your bad spelling kill you.
I'm replying to Belladona - the word is "you're", not your......guess your (hehehe) no smarter than trnmatr2
Did EVERYONE on here get a government education and not learn punctuation?
Where did you go to school. Ignorance is bliss.
Jackson was a human waste. He molested children and died a drug addict. Why do people praise and love a freak like he was. He got what he deserved and now someone else is being blaimed for his death. Let it go, he is not worthy of all this publicity, what a human waste.
Belladonna grammar is not spelled with an E.
Yeah, that guy had tried to choke his own son Jordan! He hit him with a dumbbell in the head!! Jordan put a restraining order towards his own dad. That guy wasn't stable. He used his own son and then even tried to hurt him. I still feel sad for Jordan since Evan was his dad. It's not easy. Lot of questions unanswered.
no guilty because it begin to eat at him after all these years.. with his big fat lies.KARMA/ALL THE LIES HE TOLD..
