The sister of pop star Michael Jackson has turned scary skinny after shedding pounds too fast, leaving friends and family fearing she's wrecked her health and set to follow her brother Tito to the grave.
A medical expert warned if 68-year-old LaToya drops too low, she might have to be led by a tube to save her life!
Since Tito died at 70 of a sudden heart attack on September 15 in Gallup, N.M., "La Toya has been losing weight drastically, and there doesn't seem to be an end in sight", according to a close pal.
"Family and friends are very worried, and fear she'll be the next Jackson family member to go."

La Toya also worries about losing her mother, Katherine, who is very frail at 94 years old.
Life span expert Dr. Gabe Mirkin said sudden weight loss "causes the body to burn its own tissues for energy until they destroy their own organs and go into kidney failure, heart failure, brain failure, or a general body shutdown."
He added if she gets too low, she “may need hospitalization or even a tube inserted through the skin into the stomach to force feed."
