The father of a boy who once accused Michael Jackson of molestation has been found, according to an official with knowledge of the incident.
Beverly Hills dentist Evan Chandler was found dead in Jersey City, NJ, last night.
The cause of death remains under investigation, the source told The Post.
In the early 1990s, Chandler reported Jackson to the authorities in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, claiming the King of Pop molested his son Jordy, who was just 13 at the time.
The Santa Barbara County DA's office launched an investigation into the allegations and convened a grand jury to look into the sex abuse charges.
The boy and and his father also brought a civil suit against Jacko.
Jackson reportedly settled the case for $15 million.
The boy, now 29, has never spoken publicly about the case.
In 1996, Chandler filed a $60 million lawsuit against Jackson and his then-wife Lisa Marie Presley, claiming the two breached the terms of a confidentiality deal by talking about the case with ABC's Diane Sawyer during a TV interview the previous year.
