Randy Jackson, brother of the late Michael Jackson, was hospitalized in Southern California Tuesday after experiencing chest pains.
The 48-year-old was taken to Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena around noon and is currently awaiting the outcome of tests, a source close to the Jackson family who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly said.
The source told The Associated Press that Jackson’s doctors believe he suffered a mild heart attack, but this has yet to be confirmed.
On Monday, Jackson accompanied his mother Katherine, father Joe and other family members to a court hearing in the involuntary manslaughter case of Dr. Conrad Murray who is accused in connection with Michael’s death.
Randy arrived after everyone else and stopped to hug his parents, his brothers and sister LaToya before the hearing began, according to the AP. Last week, he made an appearance on CNN’s “Newsroom” and expressed the opinion that Murray should be charged with first-degree murder. He also said he thought others were implicated in Michael’s death.
