Latoya Jackson: Michael Was Godlike

Latoya Jackson, on ABC’s 20/20 program, told Barbara Walters in an interview that her brother Michael looked incredibly amazing when he was laid to rest in his casket last week. She said her brother had a white pearl necklace and a large golden belt on his body, and his hair was beautifully styled and his face was beautifully made up. A pair of glasses and a white glove were also among the items placed in his casket. Latoya blamed doctors for her brother’s death. On June 25 of this year, Michael died after being injected with a lethal amount of a combination of powerful sleeping pills and anesthetics. She called her brother a “special” person and explained: "He wasn’t God. But he was definitely godlike. He had the most resemblance to the God I know." Source: eMJey / AP
