Friday, July 31: Two stories about celebrity and tragedy

Posted: Thursday, July 30, 2009 1:25 PM by Elizabeth Chuck

Our first story centers on one of Chicago's hometown heroes. He and his long-time girlfriend were expecting their first child, but no one was expecting their story to end in the heartbreaking way it did. This beautiful mom-to-be was about to fall prey to a "Dangerous Liaison." NBC's Rob Stafford reports.

Also: the latest developments in the investigation into what killed Michael Jackson. Details are emerging from the LAPD probe, along with new information about Jackson's lifestyle from insiders, and revelations about what his personal doctor did and didn't do in the critical moments before Jackson stopped breathing. Among the questions now: Could the superstar have been saved? NBC's Josh Mankiewicz goes inside "Michael Jackson: The Final Hours."

Join us Friday at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT for Dateline NBC.
