Taylor denies 'suicide watch' claims
Dame Elizabeth Taylor has hit back at reports that she is on "suicide watch" following the death of close friend Michael Jackson.

The 77-year-old, who has recently been spotted using a wheelchair, apparently collapsed in her home after hearing news of Jackson's death nearly two weeks ago.

She later worried friends after releasing a statement saying: "My heart... my mind... are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him."

The actress then wrote on her Twitter page this week: "I'm going into the hospital Wednesday or Thursday", fuelling more rumours about her emotional state since the singer's death.

In response to the reports, Taylor said: "Although my grief over Michael could not be any deeper, I am not on suicide watch."
