What's Happening?
Michael Jackson, the legendary pop star, spent his final days in a $100,000-a-month rental mansion in Los Angeles, rather than his iconic Neverland Ranch. This detail has resurfaced with the release of a new biopic about Jackson. The mansion, rented from
clothing manufacturer Hubert Guez and his wife Roxanne, was Jackson's home from December 2008 until his death in June 2009. Jackson's death was caused by cardiac arrest due to acute Propofol intoxication, administered by his doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter. The mansion, which Jackson rented while preparing for his 'This Is It' tour, was later sold for $18.1 million in 2012. The biopic has brought renewed attention to Jackson's life and the circumstances surrounding his death.
