The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Michael Jackson was killed by a lethal dose of propofol, the anesthesia at the center of his murder investigation.
The Times says this information turned up today in an unsealed affidavit from a search warrant in the Jackson case found in Houston. The LAPD investigation of Dr. Conrad Murray took law enforcement to Houston, where Dr. Murray has offices.

According to the affidavit, Murray gave Jackson the propofol shot at 10:40 a.m. after giving him a variety of other drugs for nine straight hours. The other drugs included a heavy sedatives: valium, lorazepam and midazolam.
Murray told investigators, according to the report, that he’d been treating Jackson for insomnia for six weeks — perhaps giving lie to the original story that he’d been Jackson’s doctor since 2006.
Murray told detectives that he’d been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night, but had recently cut the dosage in half because he feared Jackson was becoming addicted to it.
Murray also implicated another doctor, David Adams of Las Vegas, in whose office, he said, Jackson had propofol injections. The detectives also investigated Dr. Arnold Klein and two other doctors. But there was no mention of several doctors with whom Jackson insiders are well acquainted.
This is just tbe beginning, folks.

I does not matter who did what to Micheal Jackson, he alone is the person who did this to himself. I feel sorry for the kids to have seen their father’s addiction to drugs. I dont think anyone in the Jackson family is qualified to take control of the children and their money.

You got it right, Wendy.
Money is the root of all evil.
I mean, Jackson went to great lengths to not only hide the addiction, but to make it scarily convenient, as well.
Wonder who’s next in this fiasco? I hope it’s gonna land in the Hills of Beverly. That doc’s already “lawyered up” for the raid due shortly. His time is up, too.

Wendy,
Have you and I read the same article???
August 24th, 2009 at 7:59 pm
To Wendy again…
Look at what you’re saying. It doesn’t matter that the doctor killed this man?
Michael and this doctor share the blame for this.
Michael has PAID for his mistake — paid the ultimate price.
Now Murray needs to pay for his part in this terrible tragedy.

“I dont think anyone in the Jackson family is qualified to take control of the children and their money.”
Who should take control then? You? The Jacksons are supremely qualified: They’re Jacksons, the children are their relatives, and the money was earned by their son and brother.

MJ died due to a mix of propofol and sedatives. That is lethal no matter to whom.
There are other options – the doctor did not use them. If MJ asked for the drugs, the doctor could’ve said no, but he didn’t. MJ was not a doctor, he would not have known those were lethal combinations, but the doctor should know.

What an azz who proclaimed his innocence on Youtube. From day one I knew this incompetent fool was hiding plenty of information. How can you be innocent when you were prescribing drugs that is suppose to be administer in a hospital setting. People are so delusional these day not because you see one person do something doesn’t mean that it is okay for you to follow along the same wrong path. He deserves whatever comes to him though I too a supremely admirable fan of Jackson blame him as well for his demise. But the superior individuals to blame are the Media and all the damn street pharmacists who call themselves healthcare professionals.

Wendy & Who’sToBlame…you are not qualified to make such statement. you are both dummies and probably hiding your own addictions.
You weren’t privy to anymore information (And no, tabloids don’t count)….so keep your own judgement to your damn self.

Well said BBC and Simba!
It’s obvious to me some comments will always be negative and UNEDUCTED idiots are there! These are the type of people including the most media, the constant ridicule of his race, his skincolor, his biological DNA of his children, the leeches of all various races who attempted to hook onto him, even certain betrayals of certain family members, oh and let’s not forget the total setup of child molestation charges in 93 and total lying out for money family in 04… But I am sure these type of people believe all that shit and that is sad !
Blame it on Who and wendy; YOU are the reason why Michael ever turned to drugs in the first place… WE are all to blame. I can’t imagine being in such pain in life and NOTHING EVER making it feel better or going away! My God are you telling me you would be ok going thru life that way????
Dr. Murray regardless is a doctor and took and oath to ALL of his patients this includes Michael. He betrayed his oath by NOT living up to his oath. So yes , money root of all evil and didn’t do what he should have done.. “No freakin’ way MJ”..he made the wrong choice and now will suffer the consequences. No other drugs BESIDES the ones stated by Murray within that 24 hr timeframe have been released so before condenming the man for yet another speculation let’s get all the facts!!

Get real. The Jackson’s aren’t to be trusted with Michael’s legacy or the inheritance/trust Michael’s children. The Jackson’s, including Katherine, Joeseph, Jermaine have and continue to conspire with shady individuals of ill repute and convicted felons like Leonard Rowe. I hope the trustees get the hard drives, etc. that were taken from Michael’s home after his death. I wouldn’t trust these people with my money or to take care of my children and I don’t think they should be trusted with Michael’s.

Hey, Emme …
Who the hell put YOU in charge? What facts do you know that could be so enlightening? You’re just a blind fan covering for your own low self esteem.
And what makes you know that I’m an addict, biatch? MJ was and you know it. His “doctor” was in it for $150,000 a month to pay big time debts. He didn’t know what he was doing, in way over his head.
A lot like you. Ciao, peace out.

Why all the hate for Katherine? You do realize that Michael Jackson loved his mother and trusted her implicitly, don’t you?
Bottom line, MJ left 40% of his fortune to his mother, which means that she inherited as much as his three children combined. She has every right to contest the actions of the administrators. That’s her money they’re mucking around with.
