June 25 marks the one year anniversary of King of Pop, Michael Jackson’s death. One year ago today, news reached fans all over the world that MJ went into cardiac arrest and could not be revived.

Since that time, the controversy that surrounded the pop stars life only seems to continue. It started with an epic custody battle between Jackson’s mother Katherine and his ex-wife, Debbie Rowe, a battle Katherine Jackson eventually won.

In August reports surfaced that Jackson’s death was not an accidental death, but a homicide. Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, was charged with manslaughter six months later on February 8, 2010. Murray pleaded not guilty, and is still awaiting a trial.

Larry King will have an interview June 25 with Jermaine Jackson at 9 PM ET on CNN, where the two will visit Forest Lawn Park.

In preparation for the surge of fans expected to make the pilgrimage to MJ’s final resting place, Forest Lawn Park, authorities set up a series of rules, including how long fans will be permitted to linger in the park, as well as the types of items fans will be allowed to leave behind in tribute to the King of Pop.
