The singer is believed to have been taking up to eight different drugs a day, including three narcotic painkillers. Miss Rwaramba said: “I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much of it. “There was one period that it was so bad that I didn’t let the children see him . . . He always ate too little and mixed too much.” “He didn’t want to listen; that was one of the times he let me go,” she said. Rwaramba, who is from Rwanda, worked for Jackson for more than a decade but was dismissed for a final time last December. She said she had been back to see the children since then.
