This paints Michael an even sadder and more tragic figure than thought..

Nanny gives grim account of singer's final months, detailing drug abuse, out of control spending and nomadic lifestyle

guardian.co.uk, Sunday 28 June 2009 10.54
The nanny who looked after Michael Jackson's three children said today the star had his stomach pumped "many times" after taking a dangerous cocktail of prescription drugs.

The nanny said she once called in Jackson's mother, Katherine, and sister, Janet, to attempt an "intervention" to persuade the singer to recognise his addiction to painkillers.

Rwaramba, who flew from London to Los Angeles yesterday in the hope of being reunited with the children, gave the Sunday Times a grim account of the singer's final months.

She said the singer's lavish spending was out of control, and that he led an increasingly nomadic lifestyle, moving from country to country and hotel to hotel.

She was dismissed for a final time last December but still visited the children. When she saw them in April she claims Jackson was so broke she had to buy "happy birthday" balloons for Paris on her own credit card.

One theory behind Jackson's massive drug regimen is that he was taking them to combat the stress of his forthcoming 50 shows at the O2 arena in London. The nanny said: "Fifty performances! I told him ... what are you doing? He said, 'I signed only for 10.' He didn't know what he was signing. He never did."

Rwaramba also claims the Nation of Islam gained a growing influence over the singer's financial and personal affairs. She says the sect told the singer it cost $100,000 (�60,000) a month to rent the mansion he was living in until his death, but she believes similar properties were on the market for no more than $25,000 a month.

The sect supplied bodyguards to the singer and allegedly intimidated auction houses that were selling Jackson memorabilia.

"Michael had no idea about money," Rwaramba said. "He got a proposal to make an appearance in Japan for $1m ... By the time everyone took their share, he ended up with $200,000."

Whatever money Jackson had he would hide in black rubbish bags and under the carpets at the Los Angeles house, according to Rwaramba. She said Katherine Jackson rang her in London at 7am on Friday to ask where the money was, possibly to stop it being stolen.

What is amazing is that it is believed he was once worth nearly 750mil $.....and is now nearly 400mil $ in debt....

if true, how the f*)$*% does someone spend a billion $??????

Opiate or opiod addiction would definetely explain zero respiration and his heart stopped at the time he was found by whoever.

guess that explains why janet and latoya visited the mansion and left..
guess they were looking for his cash and jewels!

doesn't surprise me at all that the Jacksons are out to PROFIT bigtime from this.. you hear the father on CNN plugging his new record label!
jesus.. your son isn't even in the ground yet!!!

the brothers have met with the billionair investor for the ranch to start talking about a possible GRACELAND type product..

graceland brings in about 40million dollars a year...

I can bet that the beattles catalog is what the jacksons will be fighting for.
this will secure their wealth for generations!
the family has been exploiting mike from the time he was born, and now as he lies frozen in a freezer and not even buried they all have their fingers in the pie!!!

ELVIS died broke.. MIke same but sits on a billion dollar catalog.
I doubt every much that he was that broke where he couldnt afford candles for the cake!! sounds like the NANNY has sold her story to the SUN and the tabloid writers do what they do best SPIN THE TRUTH!

Im sure his house was being rented by the promoters! and also they would have given him an advance if needed...

Funny you should mention that, Elvis died of opiod overuse. We may have some scary similarities here ladies and gentlemen.

I guess it's true what they say about money being the root of all evil.

I thought it was odd that several condolence messages were like "he is now with Allah"/ May you be with Allah always" etc.

Obviously the reason is Jacko threw in his lot with the Islamics, who then proceeded to milk him for everything they could get.
