Family members turn out for BET Jackson tribute
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-06-29 15:36 While the 50-year-old Jackson was loved by many, he lived a reclusive life in his final years, and in the 1990s he was twice accused of child molestation -- charges never proven. His death continues to be shrouded in questions of prescription drug use and, although an autopsy was performed, it will be four to six weeks before an official cause of death can be determined after toxicology tests are completed. But music mogul and rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs set the tone for the night on the red carpet, telling reporters Jackson "is one of our heroes. As African Americans, we are not going to let everybody beat him up." |
