The contents of the house where Michael Jackson lived before he died have sold at a Los Angeles auction for almost $1 million (£646,000).
Some 500 items were for sale from the mansion the singer rented, including furniture, ornaments and paintings.
Among the lots was an armoire upon which Jackson wrote a message to himself that fetched $25,750 (£16,600).
A pottery rooster holding a chalkboard bearing a note from Jackson's children also sold for $5,000 (£3,200).
Prior to the auction, organisers had estimated total sales to be between$200,000 (£129,000) and $400,000 (£258,000).
Also sold was a Victorian Revival-style bedroom suite, an 18th-Century French clock and a shower bench on which Jackson had drawn stick men.
