   Michael was worth more dead than alive for members of his entourage, La Toya Jackson says in new interview

Michael Jackson, though adored by many, was the loneliest person in the world – this is how sister La Toya describes him in a brand new interview with the Daily Mail. La Toya, reportedly the one sibling Michael was very close to, is speaking to the media for the first time since June 25, when the singer went into cardiac arrest and passed away, in a bid to get the truth about his death out there, and to reveal to a stunned audience that she and the Jackson family strongly believe he was murdered.

According to La Toya, the family now has the results of the second autopsy performed on the body, the one that they specifically requested for more accuracy in the determination of the cause of death. While she can’t yet reveal specifics about that because of the ongoing police investigation, Ms. Jackson can say that she is 100 percent convinced that Michael’s death was not just a mere accident. With an estate estimated by La Toya at close to $1 billion, Michael was “worth more dead than alive” for many people in his entourage, who were no longer making the kind of money off him they used to once.

Michael’s handlers, “vultures,” as Ms. Jackson calls them, introduced him to drugs and then fed his addiction throughout the years in an attempt to control his moods and make him do whatever they asked of him. “I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. Less than a month ago, I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn’t have his best interests at heart.” La Toya reveals in the new interview.

Michael too knew and feared that he would die alone in his fifties, just like she too knew it was bound to happen soon. “Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them. I said to my family a month ago, ‘He’s never going to make it to London.’ He was worth more dead than alive. By the end, Michael was isolated from his family. He had no real friends. He was the loneliest man in the world. I knew something terrible was going to happen.” La Toya adds.

According to the grieving sister, Dr. Conrad Murray, the unlicensed cardiologist who reportedly was with Michael when he died, is the first person police should be investigating because he might have been the one injecting him with the deadly dose. The same theory is also held as likely by TMZ, the agency that broke the news of Michael’s death shortly after he was rushed to the hospital, which can confirm that authorities are “closing in on” Murray, looking into whether he played any part in Jackson going in cardiac arrest.

As of now, it is reported that the doctor, who seems to have vanished off the face of the Earth, is not cooperating in the investigation, with his attorney refusing to make any kind of statement on whether Murray administered the singer the heavy dose of Propofol that eventually led to his demise.
