He enjoyed a chart-topping career as a solo artist and with the Jackson 5 music band throughout his life. In 1982, Michael released one of the best-selling albums in history, titled Thriller.

On June 25, 2009, Jackson’s father, Michael, suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Los Angeles and died shortly thereafter. The pop star was 50 years old at the time of his death; Prince Michael Jackson II was seven. In February 2010, an official coroner’s report on Michael’s death was released, revealing that the singer had died from acute propofol intoxication. Aided by his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, Michael had used the drug, among others, to help him sleep.
A police investigation revealed later that Murray hadn’t been licensed to prescribe most controlled medications in California, and the doctor’s actions as Michael’s caretaker were subsequently further scrutinized. Murray was found guilty of homicide on November 7, 2011, receiving a four-year prison sentence.
Prince Michael Jackson II’s grandmother, Katherine Jackson, became his legal guardian, as well as the guardian of his siblings, Michael and Paris.

Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Believing that A.E.G. Live — the entertainment company that promoted Prince Michael Jackson II’s father, Michael Jackson’s planned comeback concert, This Is It, in 2009 — had failed to effectively protect the singer while he was under Dr. Conrad Murray’s care, the Jackson family decided to take legal action against the company. Katherine Jackson and Michael’s three children officially filed a wrongful death lawsuit against A.E.G.

The trial began in April 2013. Lawyers sought up to $1.5 billion, an estimation of what Michael could have earned over the months since his death if he were still alive, in the case.
In October 2013, a jury determined that A.E.G. wasn’t responsible for Michael’s death. “Although Michael Jackson’s death was a terrible tragedy, it was not a tragedy of A.E.G. Live’s making,” said Marvin S. Putnam, A.E.G.’s lawyer.
