The real cause of Michael Jackson's death revealed

Michael Jackson's former lawyer Brian Oxman said he knows the real cause of the artist's death. In a conversation with Radar Online, he expressed confidence that the singer was "killed" by legal proceedings in a sexual abuse case.

In 2005, four years before the pop king's death, he was accused of molesting 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo at the Neverland ranch. Jackson was found not guilty, but the scandal had serious consequences - the public's attitude toward the singer changed dramatically.

According to Oxman, "Michael would call dozens of times at night. He kept asking: 'Why? I treated them so well, and they make up these lies.' He couldn't find an answer to this question until his death." The scandal and the subsequent loss of audience led the artist to emotional exhaustion.

The singer also felt betrayed by British journalist Martin Bashir, who interviewed him for the controversial television documentary "Living with Michael Jackson," which portrayed him as a pedophile.

This, according to Oxman, terrified the singer - he said he would die if he went to prison, as inmates treat those accused of sexual abuse particularly harshly.

In 2009, the pop king died of cardiac arrest resulting from an overdose of powerful sleeping medication. He was 50 years old.
