MJ's Family -- Michael Predicted He'd Be Murdered
12 minutes ago by TMZ Staff  

Michael Jackson's family claims the singer predicted his own death shortly before he died -- telling TMZ, the King of Pop was paranoid he'd be murdered ... for his incredibly valuable Sony catalog.

The statement is in response to the story TMZ first broke in April -- that Dr. Murray's defense will argue MJ accidentally killed himself by self-injecting a lethal dose of Propofol.

But a rep for Michael's family tells us the Jacksons are "absolutely mortified" by the implication that MJ took his own life -- insisting, "Michael did NOT kill himself.

The rep adds, "What is incredibly ironic is that Michael told his mother shortly before he died that he thought someone was going to kill him ... and they were going to kill him for his catalog."

The family is also concerned that video surveillance of Michael's last living moments -- crucial evidence in Murray's trial -- is still missing.

MJ probably.

Michael mentioned in the bashit documentary that when he had "sleep over" parties people could see on the tapes what was going on, that all was recordered.

I am very suspicious of the resons why the tapes of the last hours of Michael have been ignored.

If a person who thinks that way it is not going has put in the hands of anyone to you inject a bunch of medicines

Plus, has been saif that  MJ himself hired Murray  ;)

How can they kill him only for a catalog?..I don't believe it.

If Michael's family is saying he predicted he would be murdered it could be to show that the hoax was necessary, that if he hadn't faked his death then he would really be dead.  I think this prelim will show many things to illustrate that this is very much a hoax.  As for the missing video of that day, it is probably with Michael, if the tape exists.  Michael is currently "missing" too, in that the general public thinks he's dead and the ones who believe he is alive don't know where he is.

I agree with you.  Perhaps Michael will personally hand deliver the missing tapes to court.

Interesting that LaToya is the one that told everyone the security tapes were missing, along with the hard drives for Mike's computer and several million dollars in cash.  Nothing was ever said about the cash or the hard drives after that either.
