Los Angeles - Michael Jackson’s three children went to visit their father’s body ten times in the morgue following his death, the singer's mother revealed in her first TV interview on Sunday, Mail Online reported.
The star's daughter, Paris – who tried to commit suicide earlier this year – was particularly traumatised by the tragedy.
"She was screaming and crying when Michael died saying 'I want to go with you daddy, I don’t want to live without you'," Katherine Jackson said.
Speaking days after what would have been the King of Pop's 55th birthday on 29 August, the 83-year-old Jackson family matriarch added: "I was feeling so bad for her.
"Paris suffered a lot after his death. She had to have pictures of Michael all over her room. Every picture that was hanging on the wall had to be of Michael."
Mrs Jackson, who has 26 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren, said all three children struggled to come to terms with their father's sudden death in June 2009.
