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.

PHOTO. Are indications of a new Michael Jackson death photo leaked false or real? The alleged Micahel Jackson death autopsy photo claims to be taken from a professional camera, not a cellphone. But is this true?

As reportedly earlier on LALATE, a British tabloid editor says the photo could demand at least a $1 million sale price. That is, if the photo is real.

The details are profiled in a report this week that an online writer received a telephone tip about the photo’s owner. What does the photo show?

First, the claim is the photo was taken professionally, not by a cellphone. “[It's] not a cellphone picture …. [they] quality was far too good.”

Second, the allegation is that photo shows Jackson, shaven head, eyes open, eyebrows tattooed, skin ashen in color, lips flat without makeup, showing a scar on left cheek, makeup removed, lying on his back.

Third, the angle the alleged position of the cameraman is 30 degrees to the left

The report claims that the Michael Jackson autopsy death photo was leaked by a “high ranking police friend” to a Los Angeles leading restaurant owner who now has it stored in his BlackBerry. Why a restaurant owner has the purported photo, and who he is, is unclear. Moreover how a “police friend” got access to the photo remains unanswered.

PHOTO! Here is the Michael Jackson “in” Abbie Drinkwater’s ultrasound picture from the UK Telegraph. Michael Jackson is seen in Abbie Drinkwater’s ultrasound, so claims Abbie.

Seriously.

Drinkwater is an 18 year old who claims Michael is looking at her in her ultrasound. She said when she looked at her ultrasound she was so happy to see her baby.

But when she got home, Abbie says she started to see visions of Jackson in the ultrasound looking at her. In fact, Drinkwater claims Jackson is even wearing a specific outfit in her ultrasound .

“You can clearly see his curly hair, proifle, and even his white glove”… I thought ‘wow’ this unbelievable.”

Yes, very unbelievable! It’s not clear … from what Abbie “clearly” sees .. where the white glove is, where the Thriller outfit is.

VIDEO! Here is the video of Janet Jackson’s incredible 2009 VMA performance, a tribute to Michael Jackson including SCREAM. Janet Jackson’s 2009 VMAs performance was stunning, powerful, and coupled with a brilliant speech by Madonna.

Madonna called Jackson The King. The Material Girl said she took to YouTube after Michael’s passing to remember his gift, his talent, that will forever live on in video:

“In a desperate attempt to hold onto his memory, I went on the Internet to watch old clips of him dancing and singing on TV and onstage and I thought, ‘My God, he was so unique, so original, so rare. And there will never be anyone like him again.’ He was a king. But he was also a human being and alas, we are all human beings and sometimes we have to lose things before we can truly appreciate them. I want to end this on a positive note and say that my sons, age 9 and 4, are obsessed with Michael Jackson. There’s a whole lot of crotch-grabbing and moonwalking going on in my house, and it seems like a whole new generation of kids has discovered his genius and are bringing him to life again. I hope that wherever Michael is now, he is smiling about this.

Madonna said she was to perform the same arena as Jackson, just days apart. Yet she felt we had let him slip through the cracks:

“But I had a childhood, and I was allowed to make mistakes and find my own way in the world without the glare of the spotlight. When I first heard that Michael had died I was in London, days away from the opening of my tour. Michael was going to perform in the same venue as me a week later. All I could think about in that moment was that I had abandoned him. That we had abandoned him. That we had allowed this magnificent creature that once set the world on fire to somehow slip through the cracks. While he was trying to build a family and rebuild his career, we were all busy passing judgment. Most of us had turned our backs on him.
