BTW: In 2005 Jordan Chandler was allegedly physically assaulted by his own father.
Jordan filed a request for a restraining order against his father on August 5, 2005. The reason for the order was that Evan Chandler, formerly a dentist and an aspiring screenwriter, had allegedly hit Jordan over the head from behind with a twelve and a half pound weight. Hed also allegedly sprayed him in the face with mace and tried to choke him.
The two men, according to court papers, were living together in a luxury apartment in New Jersey with panoramic views of Manhattan.
This followed a reversal of the restraining order by another judge who felt that Evan Chandlers actions did not represent a pattern of abuse and didnt qualify as domestic abuse. The appellate judges disagreed, reinstated the restraining order, and sent the case to trial.
“The judge also found that the weight could cause serious bodily injury or death,” they wrote, indicating that they felt Evan Chandler meant to harm his son.
Prior to this they had owned a beach house in Westhampton, New York, and had had an apartment in New York.
Public records show, however, that Jordy sold the beach house for $2.9 million in 2003.
He bought a condo for $775,000 in West Harlem in June 2005 one week after Jackson was acquitted of child molestation and about six weeks before he accused his father of attacking him.
At the time he purchased the coop, Jordy gave a PO Box in Jersey City as his address.
At the end of 2009 Evan Chandler, father of Jordan Chandler shot himself dead!
Slumped on his bed with a single bullet wound to the head, Evan Chandler was barely recognisable.
He was still holding the .38-calibre revolver when his body was found
And as details of his death were released a few weeks later, it emerged his face had been mutilated by a string of cosmetic procedures.
He was also known to regularly use botox and cosmetic fillers in an obsessive DIY bid to enhance his fading looks.
Neighbours said Chandler became a recluse in his last years, shutting himself inside the 16th-floor flat.
Police found five different prescription drugs in the apartment but was no suicide note. Whats clear is Chandler died a broken man, gravely ill and estranged from his family.
He was always depressed. He stopped coming to family events because he was afraid of being recognised. That turned into permanent estrangement.
