Evan Chandler, the dentist father of the boy who accused Michael Jackson of child molestation in the early ’90s, is dead.
Reports from various sources say that Chandler, 65, committed suicide at his luxury condo in Jersey City, New Jersey. The 800 square foot rental apartment in Liberty Towers was a far cry from Chandler’s pre-Jackson scandal world in Beverly Hills where he was a dentist to the stars and an aspiring screenwriter.
Sources also say that Chandler, whose real last name was Charmatz, had been on the outs with his son, Jordan, since an incident involving the police in 2006. According to public records, Evan Chandler still owed his public defender in that case $95.00.
Jordy Chandler accused Michael Jackson of molestation in 1993. The result was a settlement in which Jackson paid the Chandlers more than $20 million. The case never went to trial, but it forever tarnished Jackson. It did cause a rift between Jordy and his mother, June, from whom he was estranged until recently. [ READ MORE ]

Damn shame. He took the easy way out. His guilt ate him alive but I feel he should have came clean.
Especially after writing that stupid azz book about how his son was MJs Lover fugg outta here. He tried to kill his son once too.
MJs defense lawyer said that Jordan was ready to take the stand in 2005 if he needed to to tell the truth that MJ never touched him.
