Sadly, it seems that didn't happen. Daul was only 20 years old when she was found dead in her Paris apartment Thursday.

Evan Chandler, the father of Michael Jackson's alleged molestation victim Jordan Chandler, spent his last days in isolation -- depressed and estranged from his loved ones -- before fatally shooting himself in the head, family members said Tuesday.

The father of a boy who sued Michael Jackson and accused him of sexual molestation died by committing suicide, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Evan Chandler, formerly a Beverly Hills dentist, shot himself in the head. He was found dead in Jersey City, N.J.
Jersey City Police Department spokesman Stan Eason told RadarOnline.com: “Evan Chandler’s body was found at 5.35 pm on November 5 by the concierge at his luxury apartment building in Jersey City. We have ruled it as suicide because he was found with a gun held to his body and had a single bullet wound to the side of his head. Mr. Chandler was 65.

“There was no note found in the apartment but officers did find medication in keeping with a serious medical condition. A doctor based at Colanta Hematology in Bayonne, NJ, had called the concierge, asking him check on Mr. Chandler’s apartment as Mr. Chandler had missed an appointment. It was thanks to the concierge’s actions that Mr. Chandler’s body was discovered. Mr. Chandler’s body has now been returned to his family.”
In the early 1990s, Chandler reported Jackson to authorities in both Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, charging the King of Pop with molesting his son, then 13.

The Santa Barbara County District Attorney’s Office launched a 13-month probe into the allegations and convened a grand jury to look into the sexual abuse charges.
In 1994, the boy gave police audio-taped evidence alleging abuse by Jackson. The boy and his father also brought a civil lawsuit against Jackson.

But the case never went to trial because the boy received a civil settlement for “personal injuries arising out of claims of negligence” from the superstar.
Both parties signed a confidentiality agreement, promising not tot talk about the case or the multi-million-dollar settlement.

Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein's Thursday memorial at The Hollywood Palladium was fashioned after a 12-step meeting, drawing a notable pair of celebrities -- Robert Downey Jr. and Lindsay Lohan -- whose substance abuse issues have been well-documented.
Attendees were free to participate in the 12-step process, and able to speak with anonymity, due to the nature of the meeting; the 36-year-old Goldstein, a recovering crack cocaine addict during his 20s, was working on a reality show to help others with their addictions before his Aug. 28 death in Manhattan, New York.

Nine OxyContin tablets were found in the body of Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein, leading officials to question whether the troubled celebrity disc jockey overdosed or committed suicide.
Eight of the nine pills were undigested, an indicator Goldstein swallowed the unusually high amount quickly, a source told People.
"He wanted to die," the source said. "He was going unconscious when he took the last one. He didn't even swallow it."
In addition to the pills, a mirror was barricading his door when authorities tried to enter, and a crack cocaine pipe was also found next to his corpse.
Goldstein, according to the source, "smoked a lot of crack, barricaded the doors and killed himself."
Goldstein was found dead in in his Manhattan apartment Friday, August 28. He was 36.
Goldstein's death comes less than a year after he barely survived a plane crash with his friend and musical collaborator Travis Barker, the drummer for Blink-182.
Four people were killed when the plane skidded off a South Carolina runway. Goldstein suffered severe burns and in the weeks and months that followed, was said to have suffered depression.
A private memorial for Goldstein will be held Thursday evening in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium, People also reports.
The memorial will be in the style of a 12-step meeting in homage to Goldstein's very public battle with addiction. According to the invite: "The format of the evening will be in the style of an open 12-step meeting. Adam's friends both from his life in recovery, as well as those from other areas of his life are welcome. We ask only that everyone adhere to the tradition of anonymity and let what they hear there, and who they see there, stay there."
