Firpo Carr, former Jackson family spokeperson talked with Jane Velez-Mitchell and said MJ was afraid of being murdered.
Here's the transcript:
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Well, listen, Joe Jackson is the one who said, Firpo, that he felt his son had died long before he was taken to the hospital.
FIRPO CARR: Absolutely. And that`s a very important element.
We`re overlooking something here that I think we definitely need to consider. That is this. What if, just what if, it may be a stretch, that this was planned? That it was a murder? What if, what if?
BLOOM: Why though? What would the motive be?
CARR: Michael called me, just like he told Dick Gregory, he called me and said, listen, they`re after my Beatles collection.
BLOOM: Who`s they? Who?
CARR: Whoever they are.
VELEZ-MITCHELL: Oh, conspiracy

Another transcript - a clip by Randi Kaye talking about Dick Gregory.
RANDI KAYE, : Jackson`s parents called him and said that Michael wasn`t well, can he come and help him? A few days before the trial ended, Dick Gregory told me that he went back to Neverland with Michael Jackson, that Jackson hugged him and said, quote, "Please don`t leave me. They`re trying to kill me."
Gregory says he asked Jackson when the last time he ate was, because he didn`t look well, and that Jackson told him, quote, "They`re trying to poison me." He asked him when he last drank water. He said Jackson told him, again, quote, "They`re trying to kill me."
(END VIDEO CLIP)
VELEZ-MITCHELL: That was Randi Kaye telling Anderson Cooper what Jackson`s friend, the famous comedian Dick Gregory, had to say about Michael Jackson`s state of mind and general health just days before his molestation trial ended. And as you heard, there, he was reportedly paranoid that somebody was trying to kill him.
