LaToya Jackson Says Michael Was 'Murdered'

<div id="articleTxt1" class="articleTxt smallText">Speaking out for the first time, the grieving sister of Michael Jackson says she thinks "a shadowy entourage" led to the death of her brother, accusing them of "murdering" him.</div><div id="articleTxt2" class="articleTxt smallText">Speaking with Britain's Daily Mail, LaToya Jackson -- who signed the King of Pop's death certificate -- says that Michael was an isolated figure, making him easy prey for greedy associates. She accuses these people, whether it be doctors, handlers or assistants, of feeding Jackson drugs to control his moods in order to get what they want.</div><div id="articleTxt3" class="articleTxt smallText">"I believe Michael was murdered, I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren&rsquo;t always on his side," LaToya said.</div><div id="articleTxt4" class="articleTxt smallText">LaToya then said that she predicted her brother's demise "Less than a month ago."</div><div class="articleTxt smallText"><div id="articleTxt5" class="articleTxt smallText">"'He&rsquo;s never going to make it to London. He was worth more dead than alive," LaToya said she told fellow Jackson family members,</div><div id="articleTxt6" class="articleTxt smallText">"I said I thought Michael was going to die before the London shows because he was surrounded by people who didn&rsquo;t have his best interests at heart. Michael was worth more than a billion dollars. When anyone is worth that much money, there are always greedy people around them."</div><div id="articleTxt7" class="articleTxt smallText">LaToya continues, saying that in the final months, her brother "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."</div><div id="articleTxt8" class="articleTxt smallText">She also takes on the speculation as to what role Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray, played in the King of Pop's final hours.</div><div id="articleTxt9" class="articleTxt smallText">LaToya says Murray "disappeared" from the hospital after she began peppering him with questions about her brother's health. She says that Jackson was found in Murray's bedroom in the rental house, and that oxygen canisters and IV bags lined the walls.</div><div id="articleTxt10" class="articleTxt smallText">Jackson says that Murray "mumbled a bunch of nothing" as she grilled him with questions. "He said something like, 'Michael didn&rsquo;t make it, I&rsquo;m sorry.' It wasn&rsquo;t right. It felt weird."</div><div id="articleTxt11" class="articleTxt smallText">LaToya also goes on to retell just exactly how her life changed when she got the frantic phone call about her brother.</div><div id="articleTxt12" class="articleTxt smallText">"I was at home when I received the news that Michael had been rushed to the hospital. I live about three minutes away from Michael in Beverly Hills," LaToya said.</div><div id="articleTxt13" class="articleTxt smallText">"Finally, I heard Mother in the background asking, 'Who is that?' When she learned it was me, she screamed, 'Why don&rsquo;t you just tell her?' and she grabbed the phone and just screamed as loud as she could, "He's dead!'"</div>&
