Michael Jackson looked "absolutely fabulous" when he was laid to rest last week in a mausoleum at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Calif., says his sister La Toya.

In an interview airing Friday on ABC's 20/20, she says he was dressed in white pearl beads and a big gold belt, "like a belt that you win being a boxer."

"His hair was done beautifully," La Toya, 53, adds. "His makeup was done beautifully."

Among the items placed in the casket with him: A pair of sunglasses and a white glove.
Michael died June 25 at the age of 50. His death, caused by "acute propofol intoxication," has been ruled a homicide; several doctors are under investigation.
La Toya says she blames her brother's death on "any and everybody" who gave him drugs.

 

"They're doctors!" she says. "This is going against their license."

She adds that her brother was "special." 

 

"He wasn't God, but he was certainly God-like," she says. "He was the closest thing to a god that I knew."

    you always did want to be Michael so now you can La Toya.Maybe in one of the many movie depictions of his life you can play the lead role. Be quiet and stop embarassing yor Mother hasnt she suffered enough your no good cat chasing daddy Michael being killed by his licensed 'pusher'doctor,etc old frosting head Jermaine trying to make a dollar from the death of his meal ticket.Just sit down and do like Rebbe and Janet be quiet less is better!!!!!

    Michael's downfall began with Martin Bashir's documentary (rather lies). Go to Youtube and watch "The Footage You were Never Meant to See". Michael had his own cameras filming as well and it clearly shows that Martin Bashir edited & lied in the documentary. Go to ABC News, click on Nightline, then click Martin Bashir's picture. Scroll down and read all the comments. Martin Bashir is despised throughout the world.

    Guys I know that everyone would like to wish that somehow michael jacksons death is a hoax...but the fact is, heis really dead. Thanks to all the stupid ass physicians that were supposed to be looking after him....trust me when I say he's dead...he was not done touring, not by a longshot but its very relaxing and reashuring to think of him still alive.....sorry guys....

    This is so dumb. Michael Jackson is not dead. He skipped out on public life & his family is helping him do it. They act & get paid, he stays protected. This is all a death hoax, people. You know what my favorite slip-up has been? For two months after he "died", Latoya, Jermaine & Janet referred to Michael in the present tense, as in "Michael WILL appreciate that" and "To you, he IS an icon. To us he IS family." Hehe. They're loving the attention. P.S. Jermaine -- it wasn't lost on me how you switched the words "sadness" & "gladness" at his public memorial in the song "Smile"... "Light up your face with SADNESS. Hide every trace of GLADNESS." Very clever showmanship.

    Love Michael Jackson and i agree with La Toya- everyone around Michael is to blame, including other workers, doctors or ppl round him that allowed the dug use to continue, they are all guilty.

    I dont think he's looked "fabulous" since the 1980s.

    "He was the closest thing to a god that I knew." Did she just say that?! WOW is her brains fried? seriously? If she saw him as a God she didn't treat him like one when he was alive, all she did was tear him down when he was alive!

    What a freak! Who says their dead brother looked fabulous! This whole family minus Janet is insane.

    he probably looked beatiful in his casket because it was a mannequin. He isn't dead, that is the reason no charges have been filed and it took so long to "bury" him. Remember no one seen inside the casket at the memorial and his friends and family are the only ones who have seen him. Elvis did the same thing, it is well known that there was a wax figure in his casket.
