Evan Chandler, father of Jordan Chandler aka Jordy Chandler, has committed suicide. Now in 2009, Jordy Chandler is 29. But Jordy Chandler in 1993 was the unnamed boy who received an alleged $15 million settlement from Michael Jackson.

Evan Chandler was found dead in her Jersey City apartment on November 5. Police investigators say “We have ruled it as a suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body. He had a single bullet wound to the side of his head. There was no note but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition.”

In June 2009, LALATE profiled Jordy Chandler. At the time, Jordy Chandler was being wrongly reported across blogs as issuing a statement concerning his 1990s case.

In the years that followed, Chandler reportedly returned to court following an ABC interview conducted with Lisa Marie Presley and Michael Jackson. The case would eventually be decided in the California Court of Appeals in 2000.
