Coroner’s Findings in Jackson Death Revealed

MICHAEL JACKSON29

Michael Jackson died from lethal amounts of the anesthetic propofol, according to the findings of the Los Angeles chief medical examiner that were disclosed in court documents in Houston on Monday.

Mr. Jackson died on June 25 in Los Angeles after going into cardiac arrest. Since then, the Houston offices of his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, have been raided several times by law enforcement officials.

In a search warrant affidavit issued by the district court of Harris County, Texas, on July 22, a Los Angeles law enforcement officer says that an autopsy performed by the office of Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran, the Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner for the County of Los Angeles, “determined that, at the time of his death, toxicology analysis show that Michael Jackson had lethal amounts of propofol in his blood.”

According to a search warrant issued by Los Angeles County on July 17, Dr. Murray said in an interview with investigators that he had been treating Mr. Jackson for insomnia for six weeks prior to the singer’s death.

Dr. Murray said that he felt Mr. Jackson was becoming addicted to propofol and was trying to wean him off the drug. On June 22, he gave Mr. Jackson a mixture of propofol, lorazepam, the generic form of the anti-anxiety drug ativan, and midazolam, a sedative. On June 23, he gave Mr. Jackson only the lorazepam and midazolam.

At about 1:30 a.m. on June 25, Dr. Murray said, he gave Mr. Jackson a tab of valium. At 2 a.m., he administered lorazepam, and at 3 a.m. administered midazolam. Those drugs were administered again at 5 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., but Mr. Jackson still was unable to sleep.

At about 10:40 a.m., Dr. Murray said, he gave Mr. Jackson 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine, at which point Mr. Jackson went to sleep. After about 10 minutes, Dr. Murray said he left to go to the bathroom, and returned to find that Mr. Jackson was no longer breathing. At this point, Mr. Jackson’s security services and 911 were called.

According to the Los Angeles warrant, Mr. Jackson visited with several doctors to provide him with prescription medications while he used a variety of aliases, including Jack London, Mick Jackson, Frank Tyson, Omar Arnold and Josephine Baker.
