Joe Jackson suffered a stroke and three heart attacks after a night of partying with younger women in Brazil - amid claims that he took three Viagra pills.
The 87-year-old flew into the country two weeks ago for a pleasure trip set to include a $200,000-birthday blowout in his honor but ended up being rushed to hospital on the eve of the celebration.
Now as he recovers in Sao Paulo after being released today from hospital, it has emerged the temptations of the Brazilian party city may have been physically too much for Michael Jackson's father.
Just hours after his arrival in the country, the Jackson patriarch was spotted dining with a group of ladies including a voluptuous – and much younger - woman at an upscale restaurant.
Two days later he hit the town once again with the attractive redhead and other women, and was said to have been out until the early hours.
He was 'feeling unwell' the following day - July 26 -, according to his representative, and was eventually taken to hospital for what turned to have been a stroke.
It was followed by multiple cardiac arrests – including one where his heart stopped for 10 seconds – that led doctors to fit him with a pacemaker.
But the story of how he got there appears to be much more salacious than anyone would imagine.
According to a local newspaper, the octogenarian 'overdid it' on his second big night out with his lady friends.
As they visited a number of bars and restaurants, he is said to have mixed the local cocktail of caipirinha - made with Brazilian sugarcane rum – with other drinks.
But the 'bigger problem' was that he also had taken 'three little blue pills' for erectile dysfunction.
It was too much for him and he suffered a stroke,' continued O Diario de Sao Paulo, adding that his entourage was left 'shocked' by the incident.
An even more colorful version of Jackson's antics was reported by a well-known celebrity columnist.
He was visiting an area of Sao Paulo known for low-rent prostitution when he took the Viagra pills, according to Leo Dias, from the O Dia tabloid.
Jackson's PR assistant Lisa Crazy, however, denied the reports.
She said: 'He sleeps early and doesn't take medicine without prescription. Nothing of this story is true.'
'This did not happen,' said his rep Charles Coupet.
