I Believe My Father Was Murdered: B.B. King’s Kids Cry Foul
New York Post ^ | May 25, 2015

Two B.B. King heirs who’ve been most outspoken about the blues legend’s care in his final days are accusing King’s two closest aides of poisoning him, but the attorney for King’s estate is calling the claims ridiculous.

Three doctors determined that King was appropriately cared-for, and King received 24-hour care and monitoring by medical professionals “up until the time that he peacefully passed away in his sleep,” attorney Brent Bryson told the AP on Monday.

Daughters Karen Williams and Patty King allege that family members were prevented from visiting while King’s business manager, LaVerne Toney, and his personal assistant, Myron Johnson, hastened their father’s death.

Nothing like a death in the family to bring the scum-sucking relatives out of the woodwork.

Hope this doesn’t turn into another fiasco like what happened after James Brown died.

A little late for this one, but they should have taken him to Zimbabwe for all black care all the time!

Everyone knows that blacks lives matter, and no black would harm another!

Don’t be so judgemental. Bad things sometimes happen when there is a lot of money involved; family can indeed be pushed out, disinherited, and the elderly person manipulated and turned against his loved ones by unscrupulous individuals. So don’t be stupid; don’t think you are different and it can’t happen to you. Take steps to protect yourself and your heirs and do it in such a way you can’t change your mind past the age of about 65.

Really? Trying to squeeze a few more dollars out of the estate?

The key to committing murder on someone that old is to have the body cremated. Poof, all of the evidence goes up the smokestack.

I had a friend’s sister do 25 to life for not burning the body. Three weeks later it was dug up, and she was sent away.

My guess is that he was so full of medicine at the end, he probably WAS poisoned...just not intentionally.
