She says, "I know Michael didn’t die of natural causes. Someone did thi s to him. Mean, evil, vicious people didn’t want him around for some reas on. It just shows how vicious people are and greedy for money.
"He told me several times that he felt that people wanted him gone, wan ted him dead. He would always say that. And for him to say that he must h ave known something."
