Past Lawsuit Claims Michael Jackson Owed Over $100,000 to Pharmacy
ET has obtained papers from a lawsuit filed in 2007 from a Beverly Hills pharmacy, that claimed Michael Jackson never paid for his purchases from the drug distributor, amounting to a $100,000 bill within two years.
The papers allege that Michael filled "multiple prescriptions" through Mickey Fine Pharmacy. The suit is now "amicably resolved."
Michael passed away suddenly last Thursday at the age of 50. His cause of death is still under investigation.
