Michael Jackson Homicide Victim (PHOTOS, VIDEO)
In a report that has taken two months to be revealed, the Los Angeles County Coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide. The autopsy results indicate that a lethal dose of propofol, an intraveneous drug used to put surgical patients to sleep before surgical procedures, caused the singers death.
Dr. Conrad Murray told investigators that he had been administering the IV drug to Michael Jackson every night for the past six weeks before his death. Several days prior to June 25, 2009, he attempted to wean the singer to a lower dose.
In the early morning hours of Jackson’s death, Murray administered the sedative drugs valium, lorazepam and midazolam, but the doctor was unable to induce a restful state for his client. He admits that at 10:40 a.m. Jackson demanded propofol so the doctor reluctantly administered 25 milligrams. He left the room for several minutes to use the restroom and when he returned he discovered that Jackson wasn’t breathing.
Between the time Jackson went into cardiac failure and when a call was made to 911, investigators discovered through telephone records that Murray made three phone calls lasting a total of 47 minutes. When paramedics arrived on the scene, Murray insisted that they transport Jackson to a hospital, refusing to declare him dead at his rented Holmby Hills mansion.
Investigators removed a large supply of prescription drugs, including eight bottles of propofol that had been prescribed by Dr. Murray. Investigators also identified Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger as supplying drugs to Jackson, in his own name and under various alias identities.

We have to give the man his due: Michael Jackson was – beyond a shadow of a doubt – a great artist whose recorded legacy will endure for decades, maybe even a century or more. But an examination of his life is riddled with questions of all that might have been; all that should have been. It is more than likely that this was a severely mentally ill human being who never sought the treatment he so desperately needed; surrounded by fawning sycophants who enabled his sickness by constantly reassuring him that he could do no wrong. As John Lennon once said in the same context about Elvis Presley, another victim of the excesses of fame: “It’s always the courtiers that kill the king”.
The sad, inescapable truth is that for reasons we will probably never be able to fully understand, his talent and his career were ultimately wasted. Like Charlie Parker, Montgomery Clift, Judy Garland and Lenny Bruce before him, his brilliance as an artist would be overshadowed by severe, psychological torment and an unexplainable desire for self-destruction. Therein lies the real, unspeakable tragedy of Michael Jackson.
