Michael Jackson Homicide, News came down today that Michael Jackson officially died from an overdose of propofol. This wasn’t a huge surprise, but now that more information from the autopsy has been released, it does confirm what officials had originally believed. It also gives them more incentive to talk to Michael Jackson’s doctor, Conrad Murray.Murray gave a statement that confirmed he had been giving Jackson medication to help with insomnia for as long as six weeks prior to the singer’s death. He said “each night he gave Jackson 50 mg of propofol, also known as Diprivan, diluted with the anesthetic lidocaine via an intravenous drip.”
He was concerned that Jackson was becoming addicted to the drug, and tried to wean him off of it by combining the drug with different types of medicine. When the attempt at weaning didn’t work, he went back to giving him propofol, but said he was still monitoring him closely. On the night Jackson died, he said he only left his side for a few minutes to go to the bathroom, and when he came back he noticed Jackson was no longer breathing.
