The financial fallout and bickering from the death of Michael Jackson in 2009 continues unabated.
The media report that Lloyd's of London underwriter Cathedral Capital Ltd.'s syndicate 2010 is seeking to void a policy covering the risk of Michael Jackson not appearing at performances.
When Jackson died in 2009, AEG Live filed a claim for $17.5M for the nonappearance and cancellation of the concert. However, Cathedral Capital have now sued AEG. They allege that AEG have failed to provide necessary medical information and details about Dr. Conrad Murray (Jackson's doctor); this information would enable Cathedral to determine if the claim was valid.

Suicide Speculation
It appears that Dr Conrad Murray's defence lawyer, Michael Flanagan, is attempting to inject into the preliminary hearing in Los Angeles speculation that Michael Jackson may have committed suicide.
Mr Flanagan asked about the proximity of the needles:
"If a person about 136 pounds and 5'9" was on the bed, they should be able to reach them, right?"
The prosecution objected that this was speculation, and the judge concurred.
The hearing continues this week.
