Mansion Where Michael Jackson Died on the Market for $28 Million

(NewsCore) - The California home where Michael Jackson died is up for sale with an asking price of $28 million, TMZ reported Wednesday.
The 17,171 square foot home is located in the affluent Los Angeles
suburb of Holmby Hills. The French chateau style mansion has seven bedrooms, a seven-car garage and 13 toilets.
Interested buyers will have to undergo an "extensive pre-qualifying check" to tour the home, in an effort to stave off diehard fans wanting to see where the King of Pop died.
The home’s owner, Ed Hardy CEO Hubert Guez, rented the mansion to Jackson in 2009 as the singer rehearsed his “This Is It” tour. Guez apparently tried to sell the property for $38 million in 2008 before agreeing to rent it to Jackson, the celebrity website reported.
Jackson died suddenly on June 25, 2009 after suffering cardiac arrest at the home, just weeks before launching his comeback.
The entertainer’s personal doctor, Conrad Murray, said he discovered Jackson in his bedroom not breathing but with a faint pulse. Jackson was later declared dead at a local hospital.
California authorities ruled Jackson’s death a homicide by the mixture of drugs in his body. Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter over the death.
