James Debarge described how he was standing on the edge of a rooftop preparing to jump to his death, when their families spotted him. According to James, the only one who remained calm throughout the hysterical ordeal, was Michael Jackson. He also credited MJ with always having a way of remaining level headed under moments of chaotic drama, which is what James needed during his suicidal moment. Check out the video clip below, to see the heroic details James broke down about that terrifying moment that MJ was eventually able to talk him down off of that roof.

You just never know what a person is made of, until they’re placed in situations, like the one MJ was placed in. Thank goodness Michael was there for James that day, because we could have very well have been writing this article about the day James Debarge leaped to his death…something we would have dreaded having to report.
