Michael Jackson Propofol Overdose – As expected, the LAPD announced that Michael Jackson died from an overdose of Propofol, an anesthesia medicine, administered by Dr. Conrad Murray in combination with other prescribed narcotics.
Here are the details on the Propofol and narcotics overdose that killed Michael Jackson.
Dr. Conrad Murray told cops he had been treating Jackson for six weeks for insomnia, giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV.
Murray told cops he feared Jackson was getting addicted so he reduced the Propofol dosage to 25 mg.
The morning Jackson died, Dr. Murray gave Jackson Valium at 1:30 AM. Murray said the Valium didn’t work so he gave the singer an IV injection of Lorazepam, an anti-anxiety drug. Murray told police that Jackson was still awake, so he then gave him Midazolam, a powerful sedative.
Dr. Murray gave Jackson more drugs. He says at 10:40 AM, he administered 25 mg of Propofol after Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug.
Dr. Murray reportedly told cops that 10 minutes after administering Propofol, he “left Jackson’s side to go to the restroom and relieve himself. Murray stated he was out of the room for about 2 minutes maximum. Upon his return, Murray noticed that Jackson was no longer breathing.”
Dr. Murray says he began CPR and at some point ran downstairs and asked the chef to send up Prince Jackson, the eldest son, then Murray resumed performing CPR.
However, Dr. Murray says he noticed that Jackson wasn’t breathing at around 11 AM.
Turns out he was on his cell phone for 47 minutes with three separate calls, from 11:18 to 12:05. The 911 call came in at 12:21 PM, a much longer delay than originally reported.
LAPD cops found 8 bottles of Propofol in Jackson’s house after he died, but they do not know where it was purchased.
Police also found Valium, Tamsulosin, Lorazepam, Temazepam, Clonazepam, Trazodone and Tizanidine, along with the Propofol.
Authorities are still deciding on whether to file manslaughter or homicide charges against Dr. Conrad Murray in the death of Michael Jackson.
Interestingly, according to one search warrant, Dr. Murray refused to sign Jackson’s death certificate at the UCLA Medical Center.
And that’s the latest news on the Michael Jackson propofol overdose.

I thought Dr. Murray was suspicious from the beginning. Now the truth is coming out.

Michael in his childhood was allegedly abused, and until his last breath he was still violated. In the name of love, truth, and justice…America, with its pronounced commitment to justice, liberty, and freedom…give Michael the honor and respect he deserved. Michael was one of the greatest artists, we owe him the justice he deserved- his death calls for a serious rethinking in the medical practice, abuse of artists, welfare of children, family as an institution! And whoever is Dr. Conrad Murray, please speak of the truth…free yourself! To te mother of Micahel, thank you for bringing out into this world Michael. To the father of Michael, assuming the rumors of your abuse of Michael is true, and I am sorry to say but I believe Micahel’s statement that you abused him in his childhood is true, please do not harm the children of Micahel…people of the world, let us all unite in stopping any act of abuse to children! Give justice to Michael.
