The surgical face mask worn by Michael Jackson the night before he died was being sold by one of the singer's most trusted minders. Eric Muhammad has been caught cashing it and secretly demanding 150,000 dollars for the piece of memorabilia.

However, Muhammad's betrayal has been exposed after he tried to clinch a deal with one of the reporters from a leading daily.

The bodyguard took the silky black mask from the pop star's limo after he drove children Prince, Blanket and Paris to the Los Angeles hospital where doctors frantically tried to save their dying father.

In a meeting, to strike a good deal with the reporter (who claimed to be a rich businessman) Muhammad said that it still has his make up on it and smells like him too.
