Chandler was the 65-year-old father of Jordy Chandler, the boy who accused pop star of sexual abuse in 1993, when he was 13-years-old.
Jordy, now 29, was allegedly paid approximately $20 million by the King of Pop to stop speaking about his claims that he was abused during sleepovers with him in 1992, when he was 12.
Chandler killed himself
A onetime Beverly Hills dentist, Chandler was found dead in his luxury waterfront Jersey City apartment in New Jersey, holding a firearm with a gun shot wound to the head.
He killed himself earlier this month after battling his debilitating illness for long, People.com quoted authorities as reporting.
Although Chandler died on Nov. 5, news of his death only emerged Tuesday (17.11.09) after a doctor, who was treating him for cancer, said he missed an appointment. His death came five months after the pop icon died at his Los Angeles home from acute Propofol intoxication.
Jersey City Police Department spokesman Stan H. Eason told the magazine that Chandler died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head from a .38-caliber revolver.
Chandler’s death ruled suicide
Chandler was found dead by a concierge at his apartment after he failed to keep a doctors appointment, the reports says. He was fully clothed and there wasn’t any suicide note nearby.
"We have ruled it as suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body. He had a single bullet wound to the side of his head,” several other tabloid reports have quoted a police source as saying.
"There was no note but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition."
Chandler was ill
People reports that Chandler was suffering from a serious ailment at the time of his death.
Also, a source close to the family told ABC News that the suicide of the dad-of-four was not related to pop legend MJ’s recent tragic death but most likely cause due to his longtime debilitating illness.
Diane Diamond, author of "Be Careful Who You Love: Inside the Michael Jackson Case," told ABC News that Chandler was suffering from a rare metabolic disorder called Gaucher disease, a hereditary condition mostly affect the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
People with this disease suffer a slow, painful deterioration and if they do not seek medication their pain can be excruciating. As per Diamond, Jordy’s parents reportedly received $1.5 million each as part of the confidential financial settlement handler and his son reached with the singer after filing a lawsuit.
Diamond said Chandler did not take care of his condition
Chandler was estranged from Jordy, his two ex-wives, his children from his second marriage, and his two brothers.
He and Jordy had been estranged since 2006, when the latter earned a restraining order after claiming his father attacked him with a dumbbell.
Earlier feared for his life
In 2003, Chandler's brother told CNN that he feared for his life after some die-hard Jackson fans started giving him threatening calls.
"There's a hard-core group, there was and probably still is, of fanatical fans who see him as a deity," Ray Chandler -- a lawyer in Santa Barbara County -- told CNN's Larry King at the time. "Some of them will go to any lengths that, you know, there's some who will just go as far as threatening, there's some who will go -- who will be violent, and you know, you never know how far it is going to go."
evan chandler death
Any father that can be bought off with money is questionable in character. Reality is- if someone committed this act against their son a loving and normal father wouldn't settle for anything except legal court action..I don't believe Evan Chandler for one minute. He was corrupt and it must have been horrible for him to live with the consequences of the extortion motivated charges against an innocent man: Michael Jackson.. It would be right for Jordan Chandler to now come out with the truth..
May God bless his soul.Cant
May God bless his soul.Cant escape Karma really.His multimillion dirty money did not save him..
His son may be the next to commit suicide then bashit..er, bashir...
I don't think Evan Chandler
I don't think Evan Chandler felt guilty about anything he did. People like him feel no remorse and feel justified by every action taken even if it's to destroy others.
If he were upset about anything it was probably the fact that Michael wasn't remembered for Evan's false accusations nor did Evan become the famous screenwriter he was going for nor did he get as much money as he wanted.
He could have cared less about Jordan and Jordan having a restraining order on him shows that. He also had the audacity to try to garnish sympathy for his plastic surgeries by saying that he was scared of Michael's fans.
Psychopaths stand up for their own and only a psychopath would not think twice about ruining others, feeling no guilt, caring more about money than people and compulsive liars who will never admit any wrong doing. It's always someone else's fault.
All people are to twisted people like Evan are just a piggie bank and Evan had people at his disposal that were just as despicable as him with the same goals.
The psychiatrist Evan sent his son to that also committed suicide in 2003 and his name was Richard A. Gardner. Why are there no reports about how creepy this guy was?
Whatever happened to gutsy investigative journalism that digs for the truth?
Hee Hee!
Hee Hee Ha Ha he is ROTTING and BURNING and SUFFERING in HELL! da ASS HOlE should've died in 1994! Like they always say, revenge is a BITCH, and so is Evan Chandler.
LOVE U MJ and see u in Heaven :-)
Bashir - Do the SAME THING!
Please, please do the same thing Martin Bashir
EVAN CHANDLER ROTS IN HELL
I am glad the bitch Evan Chandler is dead:)))))))
Now who is next? Gavin Arvizo,Janet Arvizo,Tom Sneddon, Gloria Alred, Jordan Chandler,Joe Jackson,Dr. Murray,Dr. Klein,the list goes on and on.But KARMA will kill all of you who did MJ wrong.I swear.
Ha ha!
That liar had what was coming to him. Im glad he died a painful death. His bastard child will have it coming to him as well.
What goes around comes around !
MJ LOVED THE WORLD WITH ALL HIS HEART, it was an UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and he really wanted to HEAL IT, STOP WARS and DESTRUCTION and have people find a common ground IN LOVE and GOODNESS and SHARING !
He was a great man.
People he cared for abused his trust & deceived him, his father abused him verbally and physically; and, worst of all the media/press raped and stripped him of his dignity publicly and hounded him mercilessly.
And through it all he SMILED!
I wonder how many of us would withstand the same introspection into our lives and how we would handle the pain. Before we cast stones at MJ, we should imagine ourselves in his life and ask ourselves how would we manage it?
Only THOSE WITH NO SIN CAN JUDGE him, not us.
Michael, you were too good for this world, for the people here, for the decadence of the community around us. You are finally up with the angels, where you belong, may you RIP ! We will do our best to CARRY ON YOUR LOVE and SELFLESSNESS and teach it to our little ones.
Evan chandlers death
I hope he is in hell. That's where he belongs. I hope he suffered this whole time. But he could never feel as much pain as he caused michael. I hope he did kill himself out of guilt! I just wish he would of did one thing before he killed himself---tell the world how evil of a person he was and why he felt he needed to hurt Michael by accusing him of things he would never even think about doing. Michael was a good man and father. He would never hurt anyone especially a child. I guess Evan was probbly jealous of mj because his son was around a good guy like mj.
It's so disgusting how there
It's so disgusting how there are people who still believe Michael is guilty. Look at this man. His whole family broke up with him. If he were so good. Why did it happen?
He made plastic surgeries like Michael, he wanted to his own album of music like Michael, a typical kind of an ENVY person. He saw Michael grabbing his son crotch and he asked the boy if MJ touched him inappropriately. What a stupid question he already had the proof. This Gutierrez Evan are pathetic. They make us to believe Michael molest the boy in his home. Why didn't he call the police and they would take MJ in the very act? Mj would be so stupid to molest the boy in his own house when he had money to take the boy wherever he wanted. People say we are blind 'cause we are Michael's fans, but just use your intelligence. This man has always hide himself as coward and never testimony against Michael in court whereas MJ went to court, showed his private area, went on with his career. If Michael were guilty he would have paid since the beginning and not suffered all this humiliation just to pay after none of us would this disgusting story. Neither Michael or Evan will have this exposition and it is too much coincidence that this man killed himself soon after Michael's death.
Bastard, Finally Contributed!!!
What took him so long? He didn't want to break off the relationship with his girlfriend Diane Diamond?
It's about time the "No Good Bastard" finally contributed something positive to society.
Seems like God's justice is
Seems like God's justice is a long time coming, but it surely comes. MJ's name will eventually be cleared and people will be shocked at the slander they bought into about a gentle and loving genious who was the embodiment of music with a heart of compassion at it's center. Love you MJ. Your kids can be proud.
you guys, HILARIOUS!!!!
you guys, HILARIOUS!!!!
Evan, Diane Dimond
How long will Diane Dimond be allowed to call herself an MJ expert, and even if she does, why are reputable agencies quoting her? Do the research people.
Not too sure it was due to guilt
Evan Chandler was estranged from everyone in his family - he was a bitter and miserable person at the end. Add a medical problem on top of that to add to the misery. What was there to live for? No amount of money could repair the damage that was done or cure the disease. I suspect his didn't kill himself because of guilt over what he did to MJ - that would require him to have a conscience. Some people simply don't have consciences convincing themselves that they were right and justified. He clearly was angry at the world and took it out even on his son by trying to hit Jordy to the point that Jordy had to get a restraining order. What I never understood is why the mother (June) went along with the story. I guess it just shows that money is #1 with some people.
THIS IS SO NOT
THIS IS SO NOT SURPRISING.
The pain and sufferings he did to Michal Jackson is not
describable. This just shows eventually, all those people who brought pain and sufferings to Michael will face the charges. If I were Martin Bashir, i would be scared.............
Diane Dimond is a L-I-A-R
Why is that Liar of the Century, Diane Dimond, being quoted?! She's worse than Martin Bashir, the Liar of the Millenium. Don't believe a word Dimond says. She will make up a lie out of whole cloth just to get her name in the news. Ugh. Despicable, craven woman (term used loosely).
So sad
They are all so sad. I truly believe that they were all out to get MJ. And don't forget old nasty Gloria Alred, the so called attorney. She was always after MJ as well. The bible speaks in Galatins 6:7 "For whatsoever a man sow that he shall also reap"!
KARMA
Well, Karma came and bit that SOB in the ass didn't it? I hope he suffered. I hope he suffered horrible pain. He deserved it. He's in hell now. May he suffer for all time.
Eilleen.
KARMA
I whole heartedly agree with your statement. I knew that man would not enjoy Michael's money -- Oh, happy day.
So sorry that Michael had to give up his beloved Neverland because of this evil lying greedy bastard.
God is righteous
God is avenging the blood of Michael Jackson. There'll be more to come. People like the Arvizos, Jordie Chandler, Tom Sneddon, Martin Bashir, Diane Dimond, should better repent of all the wrongs they have done to Michael Jackson, or they will follow the same or worse fate of Evan Chandler.
Michael innocent
Bastard.
I hope he is in hell now.
Michael Brasil love you,my angel.
I'm happy
I'm glad he is dead
Evan Chandler suicide
I hope it was guilt. That way it seems justice has finally been served. Now it is Jordie;s turn to come clean.
I hope he is man enough to do so. we always knew you were innocent. Rest in Peace MJ. We will love you forever.
No doubt it was guilt!
No doubt it was guilt!
BS!!! it was guilt!! that
BS!!! it was guilt!! that made him kill himself, not a disease..good riddence but the damage has already been done..he saw what he did to MJ and couldn't live with it anymore, THAT, was why..it's what he deserved anyway..
