The family of Michael Jackson has lost a negligence case against concert promoters AEG Live over the death of the 50-year-old pop star.

A jury concluded the doctor looking after Jackson ahead of his concert tour was not unfit for his job - and so AEG had not been negligent in hiring him.

Jackson died in 2009 after taking an overdose of a surgical anaesthetic.

Dr Conrad Murray was jailed for four years for involuntary manslaughter for administering the drug.

Good. I fail to see how it was AEG's fault in the slightest.

It was a matter of if the doctor was competent, and his qualifications put AEG Live in the clear. In the US they sue for anything.
