By Alan Duke CNN / LOS ANGELES (CNN) -
Michael Jackson’s ex-wife Debbie Rowe is set to testify in the AEG Live wrongful death trial Wednesday, lawyers for the concert promoter said Monday.
Rowe is expected to be questioned about Jackson’s drug use during the 1990s when she traveled with him, married him and bore his two oldest children.
She will be called as the next witness in the Los Angeles courtroom after an economics expert concludes his testimony about the financial support Jackson would have provided his mother and three children had he not died four years ago.
Jackson’s youngest brother made an unsuccessful effort to reach the singer in his last weeks because of family concerns about his drug use, according to testimony Friday.
Lawyers for the concert promoter accused of liability in Jackson’s death want to show that the pop icon was a secretive drug addict who was even beyond his family’s help.
Jurors watched video of Randy Jackson’s questioning by the AEG Live lawyers about failed interventions he led because of his concerns about Michael Jackson’s use of painkillers in the last decade of his brother’s life.
Jackson died from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol that a doctor told police he was using to treat his insomnia as he rehearsed for a comeback tour four years ago. Jackson’s mother and three children are suing the concert promoter, contending it negligently hired, retained or supervised the doctor convicted of involuntary manslaughter in his death.
