Jacko tops highest earning dead celebrities list
Thriller singer Jackson, who died aged 50 of a drug overdose, is estimated to have earned $170 million in the past year, which also places him as the second highest-earning pop music act this year, dead or alive, Forbes.com said. He finished behind U2.
Jackson’s physician at the time of his death, Dr Conrad Murray, is currently on trial in Los Angeles, charged with involuntary manslaughter for administering the powerful anaesthetic, propofol, as a sleep aid for the singer in Jackson’s home. Murray has pleaded not guilty.
