From Popeater.com:

Evan Chandler — the father of Jordan Chandler, who accused Michael Jackson of molesting him — allegedly committed suicide, the New York Post reports.

The 65-year-old was found in his Jersey City apartment with his .38-caliber revolver in his hand, officials claim. No note was found with the body.

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.

    Interesting…someone should do an interview with the kid now that he’s grown and ask him if MJ really molested him? And I wonder why the Father committed suicide? seems a little strange to me when you have 20 million dollars.

    A guilty conscience perhaps?

    Probably couldn’t live with the guilt that he single-handedly ruined a man’s life and career out of greed.

    LMAO! YA’LL CANT BE SERIOUS. IF THA N!GGA WENT AS FAR AS TO DO SUM OUTTA LINE SH!T LIKE THAT TO SUMONE TO BEGIN WITH I SERIOUSLY DOUBT HE WOULD GIVE A FU.CK WHEN MICHEAL JACKSON DIED. DID YOU THINK HE THOUGHT MICHEAL JACKSON WAS GONNA LIVE FOREVER AND HE’D NEVER HAVE TO THINK ABOUT HIM DYING? GET REAL

    It had to be the guilt.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    I’m just sad someone else didn’t get to do it. There should be no sympathy whatsoever for this skunk. My feelings should not be construed as some adulation for MJ, but rather, showing how much hatred I have for those who bear false witness, especially when its done to the degree done here, ALL FOR money!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LastManStandingTall/ LastManStandingTall

    Most of you are just being silly. We don’t even know that the man’s choice to commit suicide and MJ’s death are related. Also, how is this man killing himself definitely a sign of guilt, but not a man paying out $20 million for something he swears he didn’t do?

    Explain that one, fuccos…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jenkinsderrick/ jenkinsderrick

    Those racist a-hole bumbazz media destroyed michael. Burn in hell american news and thaat faghole that murdered himself. Fuk- him and he doesn’t deserve coverage at all.

    MJ actually wanted to go to court to prove his innocence, but eventually he got tired of his name being dragged through the mud, so he reluctantly decided to settle out of court.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TSMonie/ TSMonie

    Michael Jackson could have easily paid 20 million..instead of waistng time draggng him through court for something he didn’t do he would have lost money going to trial he paid the guy off.Maybe MJ just felt if the guy was that desperate in making things up he gave the 20 million knowing that at the end that 20million will mean nothing and here it is what went around came around as always..Money isn’t everything this guy lost relationship with his own son and then he was hit with a restraining order…Where is that 20 million I wonder..Thats Karma..

    DOES anyone read anymore, Jordan Chandler wrote a letter on My Space Stating that he did lie about the molestion, and that his father told him to! They received 22 million dollars in an out of court settlement with Michael Jackson! If this suicide is not related, GUILT of some kind was a factor!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/thekid1986/ thekid1986

    Karma is a b***h aint it.These motherf****** grilled MJ for years just for the money and now their paying for it! I also saw the article on myspace 2 nights after MJ died and sent the link to all major news channels and networks and guess what……..not one channel talked about jordan confessing that he WAS NOT molested.Im not shocked at all,jordan the aviso fam and all the other money hungry f**kers will suffer too….SMH

    if its not guilt what else could it be? a guilty conscious weighs on the heart.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/24kglo_H2/ 24kglo_H2

    Well i hope they all commit suicide they deserve it Micheal would not hurt a child .One by one they will not be able to live with what they did to Michael guilt will eat them alive. Believe in Karma

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Kimakay/ Kimakay

    No one really knows why he committed suicide.If you read farther into the story it says he had a serious illness..

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/JashaRiL/ JashaRiL

    yep, the boy already came out and said it was a lie, it was guilt.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/pocohontas_2009/ pocohontas_2009

    Wow it has to be guilt. What else could it be? It’s ironic. And Karma…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/destiny_1001/ destiny_1001

    Does anyone ever wonder that perhaps the man didnt get along with his son because he “possibly” forced him to lie about something that was not true. Naturally his son will want to gravitate away from him especially as he grows older and realizes the impact of the accusations. Another thing too could be that perhaps he felt responsible for Michael’s demise and couldnt live with the lies they told. The Michael we all knew was soft spoken and kind and couldnt hurt a fly. For Goodness sake the man wanted to give every child what he never had growing up, now does it make sense that he will go to the extreme of hurting an innocent child. May Michael’s soul rest in blessed peace.
    We love you Michael.

    @ blac_ diamond42& Sub-Negro

    Idk know if the blog was fake or not…but being that it was on Myspace..probably so…but what I also heard was that the Jacksons’ were in the process of a lawsuit because of that blog…which is why i had thought it was true…but in any case…I can guarantee that this man committed suicide, because of a guilty conscious!! thats too much of coincidence for moi!so MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON HIS SOUL!! AND THE PARTICPATING PARTY!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/sexualcoco1/ sexualcoco1

    We will never know why he killed himself because a dead man cannot talk but it could be a possibility!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Lil_Money25/ Lil_Money25

    blkman6ft6_inla, Michael didn’t want to pay anything, he wanted to fight for his freedom, but his “ppls” (who were horrible advisors)…told him that it would be in his best intereste not to, MJ said he regretted it later.

    I do right most of the time but the little wrong I do always come back…why isn’t the right I do come back? Is that karma also? What adult in this God-forsaken earth has never done wrong?

    In the end, God will judge us all. R.I.P MJ

    I DONT THINK THAT THIS IS A COINCEDENCE THAT HE COMMItTED SUICIDE AFTER MICHAEL’S DEATH..ANOTHER PROOF FOR ME THAT MICHAEL WAS INNOCENT..R.I.P MIKE..we miss you….

    Wasn’t he a dentist?!?..lol…They have the highest suicide rate anyway!!…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rene1953/ rene1953

    WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. HE HAD LIED ABOUT MICHAEL AND THE GUILT ATE HIM UP. HE WAS ALL ABOUT HIMSELF ANYWAY.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/BabyPhat236/ BabyPhat236

    I always suspected it was all about the benjamins and not about the child, I always suspected that and if his suicide was out of guilt? then it tells you that he didn’t want face law enforcement for the false allegations and of course extortion if the boy now a 29-year-old man went to the police meaning he was trying to avoid going to jail and make it so good? there was people on YouTube.com saying they’re happy that MJ died all because of his greedy a-s-s and the mother of the second boy who is now 19 years old meaning the first boy is 10 years older than the second boy and I’m going to be laughing at those people in that site who made those stupid comments and videos when it turns out our suspicions were right too but anyway as my mother told me when I told her about this. That’s he get for lying and same for the mother of the second one if she ever does what he did. It don’t make no sense what they’ve done to this poor man’s career and life meaning Mike probably took those pills and hired that shady doctor to prescribe those pills to take his mind off what this selfish man and woman did because I didn’t believe the second one either and if so? then he should’ve felt guilty and her too and if not? she has no heart at all. Using her once sick son to con celebrities and non celebrites and if it weren’t for Mike? the cancer he had? would’ve killed him and unfortunately for her? her plan to extort money and have MJ locked up FAILED! You can rest to sure Evan isn’t going to Heaven I can tell you that right now and like I said what he and the mother of the second child put Michat though on his FINAL YEARS of life was unforgivable and I seciously doubt that the man who was in the center of this will go to police because of fear he might LOSE the support he’s getting from MJ Haters and his remaining family facing jailtime even if he owes it to Michael but if he doesn’t go to police with this information? then he’s no better than his father.
