Family Fears Overdose The Cause Of Michael Jackson's Death

There will be no official word on the cause of death until the coroner’s office releases a statement, but new reports reveal that members of Michael Jackson‘s family have suggested an overdose on morphine to be the cause.

According to the sources, father Joe Jackson was anxious to place Michael in a Palmdale, CA rehab facilty for what he considered an “addiction” to morphine and prescription drugs.

The same members of Jackson’s family feel that due to this addiction, Michael would have been unable to perform during his upcoming tour.

Workers on the upcoming tour say that Michael was “generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.”

A very sad story.
