Michael was “toxically poisoned”,says brother Jermaine

The late star’s sibling has revealed the extent of his brother’s health woes in his new book,’You Are Not Alone: Michael,Through a Brother’s Eyes’,and claims the ‘Thriller’ hitmaker was “toxically poisoned”.

Jermaine insists his brother has been on a constant search for pain medication ever since his hair caught fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial in 1984,and his doctors made it too easy for him to switch up doses and medications.

“There were some days that weren’t good days Just imagine you’re trusting your doctors and you’re getting ready to do a show You just put a $15 million payment on a home,you have a five-year plan beyond This Is It and all of a sudden,you’re having these symptoms. Half of your body is hot,half is ice cold,you’re repeating yourself,you’re going left when you should go right onstage,you’re told to climb out of this feather-weight little,butterfly or something,a prop onstage and you can’t even lift it.

“My brother has never had these symptoms in the past. These are signs of toxic poisoning in his system,” Jermaine said.

Michael died from an overdose of anaesthetic Propofol in 2009. His personal physician Dr Conrad Murray is accused of administering the fatal drug. He has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter and is due to stand trial.
