Michael Jackson sent some letters to his friend and German businessman Michael Jacobshagen. More than a decade later, Jacobshagen came forward with the notes, showing that the King of Pop had an inkling about his demise weeks before it happened.
This revelation strengthened speculations that Jackson’s death was a murder, and not from cardiac arrest as reported. Jacobshagen had the interview with an Australian journalist, who released his accounts as a series of articles in 2017.
Letters show Michael Jackson predicted his death
Jacobshagen showed interviewer Daphne Barak up to 13 letters, which Jackson had written from his hideout in Las Vegas. Jackson called his friends and begged that he leave Germany to meet him in the US. Upon arriving at Jackson’s lodge, Jacobshagen got to read the notes, which stated that there was a plot to kill Jackson.

Weeks later, Jackson was found dead in his Los Angeles home at the age of 50. His personal doctor, Conrad Murray, became a suspect as he administered propofol to him before his body was discovered. Jackson’s family, including his sister La Toya and daughter Paris, have also spoken up, saying he was killed.
Did Michael Jackson’s letters reveal any culprits?
Although Jackson did not make any direct accusations, he mentioned AEG, the concert promoters behind his comeback tour at the O2 in London. He stated that they put him under a lot of pressure and that he was scared for his life.
Snippets of the letters made it to the internet, and fans shared their varying opinions about the music legend’s passing. “Micheal went to rehearsal the night before then the next day he dies….something is wrong with that picture…. his death was premeditated,” someone said, while another added that he was killed because those behind his demise could not get control of him as they wanted.
