Washington, Sept 2: Claiming that her history of medical problems may have been suicide attempts, celebrated Michael Jackson biographer J Randy Taraborrelli is set to expose Elizabeth Taylor's wild, flamboyant, and often painful life, including her eight marriages to seven men, and her relationship with Jackson, in his latest book, 'Elizabeth'.

Taraborrelli, who has spent more than 20 years researching his new book, admits that the most compelling part of the story revolves around Taylor's medical mysteries.

"There were so many times along the way when Elizabeth Taylor was lucky that she didn't die," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying.

The biographer further claims that Taylor almost died at the age of 30 in 1962 when she was admitted to hospital for what many people close to her thought was an attempt to take her own life.

"People thought that she'd tried to commit suicide and maybe she did. Only she would really know. She had taken so many pills and had so much in her system that people were wondering how she was even able to survive," he said.

"She was over-medicated and over-prescribed. Nothing was working because she had built such a tolerance to everything that no drug was ever enough," he added. (ANI)
