Katharine Jackson, the mother of deceased pop star, Michael Jackson, recently filed suit against, AEG, the concert promoter that hired, Dr. Conrad Murray, to be the singer's physician, resulting in a prescription pill overdose and the star's untimely death. 

Similarly, Dr. Conrad Murray, has been sued by Michael Jackson's dad, Joe Jackson, for wrongful death. The lawsuits are legitimate and liability does lay with the two entities, AEG and Murray. One overextended and pushed him too much, while the other over-medicated him at his request, resulting in Jackson dying from cardiac arrest.

Katherine Jackson recently stated in an interview, she is of the belief, certain people wanted Jackson dead, to take his assets, namely his half of the Sony music publishing catalog, which said company has harassed and threatened him over for years, as they wished to buy him out, but he resisted.

Her statements were echoed by Jackson's sister LeToya, in a widely disseminated interview, published shortly after his death. Oh, the things some do for money. The man is dead over a copyrighted catalog. Hollywood is a terrible place. How simple entertainment devolved into such greed and avarice is astonishing and appalling.
