where's the son?

(CNN) -- The man who accused pop star Michael Jackson of molesting his son in 1993 killed himself in his New Jersey condo earlier this month, police said.


Evan Chandler, 65, was found by the building's concierge November 5 after a doctor, who was treating him for cancer, said he missed an appointment, the Jersey City, New Jersey, police report said.
Chandler was "extremely ill" with cancer, the report said.


He was working as a dentist in Beverly Hills, California, in 1993 when he said his son, who was 13 at the time, told him that Jackson had molested him. His son revealed it, he said, when he put him under anesthesia to pull a tooth.


The Los Angeles County district attorney did not pursue criminal charges against Jackson, but Chandler and his son reached a confidential financial settlement with the singer after filing a lawsuit. Reports at the time said the Chandlers got between $16 million and $20 million from Jackson's insurance company.


The Chandler accusation became a key part of the prosecution's case when Jackson was tried and acquitted of molestation a decade later in Santa Barbara County, California.


I would just like to say, amidst this tragedy (or whatever), that the fact that the Chandler accusation of 1993 was held in such high esteem considering that it came from a little boy under anesthesia is ludicrous and just plain wrong. 

The article goes on to say that Chandler (the elder) was bombarded and threatened by multiple groups of MJ fanatics since the accusation in 1993. The article basically puts these people at fault for the man's suicide. His brother told Larry King "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."


The man killed himself at 65 years old after suffering with cancer for who knows how many years. He didn't leave a suicide note and there doesn't seem to be any mention of his son in any testimony that I have found but yes, lets blame the people who honor the most talented man in pop history.


And seriously, where's the son? He has nothing to say? This man has been living alone in NJ suffering with cancer, and the only reason the doorman to his building found him was because his doctor called about him missing an appointment. (If he's dead/in jail I'd feel pretty bad).
