Liza Minneli on MJ death:
Liza Minnelli, a close friend for Michael Jackson's says she warned Jackson about taking so many drugs, as did his other friends, according to Janet Charlton's Hollywood. "All hell's going to break loose when the autopsy results come in!" Minnelli was quoted as saying on CBS' The Early Show. "Those who knew him well, really KNEW what he was like - so thank God we're celebrating him NOW!"
Since it's been reported by TMZ that the Jackson family has ordered a second autopsy of Michael's body, that is allegedly being performed today, perhaps there will be dueling autopsy reports with dueling causes of death, rather than corroborated ones.
MJ lawyer on MJ death:
While the autopsy report of Michael Jackson is still awaited, people close to him have claimed that his dependency on prescription drugs, encouraged by "enablers", led to his sudden death.
Brian Oxman, attorney and spokesman of the late singer, told 'CNN' that there were "enablers" in the star's entourage, who pressurized the singer to perform and pushed him towards prescription drugs.
"I believe (his manager) Frank DiLeo was with him at the time (of his heart attack), that is what I have been told. This family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson," said Oxman.
"The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, that is nothing compared to what has taken place in the life of Michael Jackson," Oxman added hinting at the role of the coterie that surrounded Jackson during his last days.
