An aide of Michael Jackson may have stolen the singer's life insurance premiums, meaning that Jackson's family will receive a reduced payout following his death, it has been claimed.
It has been suggested that the member of Jackson's staff responsible did not make the necessary regular payments towards the end of the pop superstar's life, The Sun reports.
Cosmetic surgeon and friend Dr Steven Hoefflin said: "The family have told me that, utterly unbelievably and horrifyingly, one of his aides did not keep up with payments in the last months of his life.
"They believe this person was pocketing the money. This aide promised to send money - but never did."
He added: "This was hugely important to him - it was money for his children. The family are furious and they are now seeking a lawsuit against the person believed responsible.
"It is incredible, and just stands as further proof of the levels of deception and incompetence of the sharks that surrounded Michael."
It is believed that due to the missed payments, the Jackson family will be entitled to a payment of $2.5 million (£1.5 million), rather than an expected $22.5 million.
