Mike Tyson is "in denial" over the death of his daughter. The former world champion boxer - whose four-year-old daughter Exodus died following an accident at her mother's home in May - is struggling to come to terms with his loss, and has no idea how he will move on.

He said: "I'm going through a process and trying to heal. I am in denial, because I don't know how to handle it, I don't know what to do or say."

Michael Jackson's family employed a "sober coach" to accompany him on tour. Those closest to the "Thriller" star - who passed away last Thursday after suffering a suspected cardiac arrest - were reportedly so worried about his use of prescription drugs they considered having him forcibly committed to a rehabilitation clinic just two weeks ago.

A source said: "No one in the family had realized how serious Michael's problems were until Randy, his youngest brother, started staying over at Michael's house.
