The erstwhile King of Pop can't catch a break lately, and is now being sued by the family of a woman who was in the hospital the same time he was admitted back in 2005. Allegedly the woman was moved out of her death bed when Jackson was admitted during his child molestation trial, after he was complaining of stomach pains.

Her eight children contend that she was "treated like cargo" and roughly moved from her emergency room bed, when Jackson demanded two beds in the Marian Medical Center in Santa Maria, California. The woman, 74, died later that night.

The lawsuit is accusing Jackson and the hospital of inflicting emotional distress and of negligence, elder abuse, false imprisonment and conspiracy.

A hospital spokesman says "We are confident the care provided to Mrs Ruiz was exceptional."
