August 24, 200916 yr BREAKING NEWS: Michael Jackson's death a homicide, coroner rules By Mail Foreign Service Last updated at 9:52 PM on 24th August 2009 Comments (0) Add to My Stories The coroner has ruled Michael Jackson's death as a homicide after finding lethal levels of the powerful anaesthetic propofol in his body. The finding makes it more likely that criminal charges will be filed against the singer's personal doctor Conrad Murray, who was with Jackson when he died. A law enforcement official, who wished to remain anonymous, said the coroner determined a fatal combination of drugs was given to Jackson hours before he died in his rented Los Angeles mansion . Forensic tests found the powerful anesthetic propofol in Jackson's system along with two sedatives, the official said. Michael Jackson's death was caused by lethal levels of propofol administered by his doctor Conrad Murray (right) according to a coroner report 'The Los Angeles Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner, Dr. Sathyavagiswaran, indicated that he had reviewed the preliminary toxicology results and his preliminary assessment of Jackson's cause of death was due to lethal levels of propofol (diprivan),' according to a search warrant affidavit for Murray issued by California. The document was released by the Harris County District Clerk in Houston, where Dr Murray has offices, which U.S. Agents raided on July 22, looking for evidence of manslaughter. Dr Murray told detectives he gave the late King of Pop the drug to treat insomnia for about six weeks, the Los Angeles Times reported. Jackson's body is loaded into a van to be taken to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office on June 25 The newspaper cited a newly unsealed affidavit accompanying a search warrant used in the investigation of Jackson's death. According to court records, Dr Murray had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night using an intravenous line. But fearing that the singer was becoming addicted to the drug, Dr Murray said he began trying to wean Jackson off propofol. He lowered the dosage to 25 milligrams and mixed it with two other sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. Two days before Jackson's death, Dr Murray administered just the two sedatives and not the propofol. Dr Murray said he was concerned that Jackson had become addicted to propofol and claimed to be trying to wean him off the drug According to the affidavit obtained the LA Times, on the morning Jackson died, Dr Murray tried to induce sleep without using propofol, and tried valium at 1.30am. But it did not work. The doctor then tried giving Jackson various drugs until 10.40am when the singer demanded propofol. Jackson suffered cardiac arrest and died on June 25 at age 50. Since then, police have probed his death in an investigation that appears focused on the use of prescription drugs and the role of doctors who treated him, including his personal doctor. An autopsy report in to Jackons' death remains sealed while police complete their investigation into the role prescription drugs may have played in his death and the actions of his doctors.

August 25, 200916 yr Author I did not leave Michael Jackson alone after giving him lethal drugs, claims doctor facing homicide charge By David Gardner Last updated at 11:53 AM on 25th August 2009 Comments (40) Add to My Stories Coroner rules singer's death was homicideReport blames cocktail of drugs used to treat his insomniaJackson referred to sleeping drug propofol as his 'milk'Dr Conrad Murray claims much of police report is 'theory'Murray says he didn't leave Jackson alone The doctor facing possible manslaughter charges over Michael Jackson’s drug death today hit back at the police account of the singer’s last hours. Dr Conrad Murray’s lawyer accused Los Angeles detectives of twisting his client's version of the events leading up to Jackson's death.. Much of the blow-by-blow details included in a search warrant unsealed yesterday was ‘police theory’, said lawyer Ed Chernoff. Michael Jackson's death was caused by lethal levels of propofol administered by his doctor Conrad Murray (right) according to a coroner's report Murray also denied telling police he left Jackson alone after administering a powerful anaesthetic and returned to find his patient had stopped breathing at 11am on June 25. Through his lawyer, he also said he didn’t leave the star’s bedroom to make several phone calls. Speculation that the doctor will face criminal charges grew last night after it was revealed that the Los Angeles Coroner’s office has ruled that the 50-year-old singer’s death was a homicide caused by a cocktail of drugs used to treat Jackson’s chronic insomnia. Investigators had requested that a search warrant detailing the death probe should be kept under wraps because they were afraid it’s release would ‘jeopardise the integrity of the investigation and give the targets opportunity to hide, destroy and/or alter other material evidence.’ More... Michael Jackson asked me to carry his fourth child, claims British doctor The decision to make the search warrant affidavit public suggested that a decision on a manslaughter prosecution could be imminent. Forensic tests found that a lethal dose of propofol hospital anaesthetic acted with at least two sedatives to cause Jackson’s death, a law enforcement source told the Associated Press. The Los Angeles Coroner’s office refused to comment on the report last night. The police probe is focusing on whether Murray was criminally negligent in administering drugs to Jackson in the hours before his dramatic collapse. According to court papers, Murray said he'd been treating Jackson for insomnia for about six weeks with a nightly dose of 50 milligrams of propofol via an intravenous drip. But he said he feared Jackson was forming an addiction to the anaesthetic, which is normally used in hospitals only, and was attempting to wean his patient by lowering the dose to 25 milligrams and adding the sedatives lorazepam and midazolam. That combination succeeded in helping Jackson sleep two days prior to his death, so the next day, Murray told detectives he cut off the propofol - and Jackson fell asleep with just the two sedatives. Then around 1:30am on June 25, starting with a 10-milligram tab of Valium, Murray said he tried a series of drugs instead of propofol to make Jackson sleep. The injections included two milligrams of lorazepam around 2am, two milligrams of midazolam around 3 a.m., and repeats of each at 5am and 7.30am respectively. But they didn't work. Murray told detectives that around 10.40am he gave in to Jackson's 'repeated demands/requests' or propofol, which the singer referred to as his 'milk.' He administered 25 milligrams of the white-colored liquid, - a relatively small dose - and finally, Jackson fell asleep. Murray remained with the sedated Jackson for about 10 minutes, then left to go to the toilet, said investigators. He claimed that no more than two minutes later, he returned - and found Jackson had stopped breathing. ‘There's no surprise there’ that death could result from such a combination, said Dr. David Zvara, anaesthesia chairman at the University of North Carolina. ‘All those drugs act in synergy with each other,’ Zvara said. Adding propofol on top of all the other sedatives ‘tipped the balance.' Besides the propofol and two sedatives, the coroner's toxicology report found other substances in Jackson's system but they were not believed to have been a factor in the singer's death. When he died, Jackson was skinny but not overly emaciated, and his body had bed sores, the law enforcement official said. The singer is believed to have developed bed sores in the months following his 2005 acquittal of child molestation charges, when he went into seclusion and spent long stretches in bed. He also had injection marks on his hands and feet. Jackson's family released a statement last night, saying it has ‘full confidence’ in the legal process and the efforts of investigators. It concluded: ‘The family looks forward to the day that justice can be served.’ The 25 milligrams of propofol Murray told police he gave Jackson the day he died ‘is not a whopping amount,’ said Lee Cantrell, director of the San Diego division of the California Poison Control System. But by combining propofol with a cocktail of the other sedatives, known as benzodiazepines, it ‘may have been the trigger that pushed him over the edge,’ Cantrell said. Cantrell said it's perplexing that someone would give various benzodiazepines if one was found not to be effective. ‘This is horrible polypharmacy,’ he said, referring to the interaction between the various drugs. ‘No one will treat an insomniac like this.’ Jackson's body is loaded into a van to be taken to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office on June 25 The search warrant says Murray told investigators he didn't order or buy any propofol and had found about eight bottles of it in Jackson's home along with numerous other medications. But investigators served a search warrant on August 11 at a Las Vegas pharmacy and uncovered evidence showing Murray legally purchased the propofol he gave Jackson the day he died. Homicide, or 'death at the hands of another,' is one of several possible findings in a California coroner's death investigation. The designation does not necessarily mean a crime was committed though it is a useful starting point for prosecutors, said Dr. Michael Baden, the former chief medical examiner in New York City and a forensics expert involved in many high-profile murder cases. ‘It is an easier prosecution when the medical examiner calls it a homicide,’ said Baden, who is not involved in the Jackson investigation. As more evidence emerged about events surrounding the death, close friend Uri Geller revealed there were times when he had been unabel to wake the singer. 'I've known Michael for over a decade and there were times when I could not wake up Michael Jackson. 'There were times where I had to take out of his room material that was very dangerous for him and I (have) seen it with my own eyes.' Geller told Radio 4's Today programme he remembered 'shouting' at Jackson one night over the drugs, but Jackson insisted it was 'his private life'. Geller said: 'I remember the times that I slept next to his bed to make sure that he did wake up in the morning to go to certain important engagements. 'There was a time that I told Michael that if this continues, he will die. He was killing himself slowly. 'The question has to be asked: how come this went on for such a long time? We're not talking about a year; we're talking about probably decades and there were a string of doctors.'

August 25, 200916 yr That's what we call it: "Milk of Amnesia" Ativan, Versed and Propofol and this doctor is surprised the guy stopped breathing. We an idiot! If you can hard core sedatives like that in the house surely you can have equipment to intubate some one and monitor them. Did the guy even bother to have some Romazicon laying about? Epi? An ambu and some Oxygen FFS? Becasue if you are pushing meds like that without any way to monitor or recover your patient, you are going to prison Mr Arrogant Doctor.

June 16, 201115 yr Author Michael Jackson's doctor fights to see unused footage from star's final rehearsals to show how ill he really was Sony refusing to hand over This Is It material to Dr Conrad Murray's defence team Lawyers for Michael Jackson's doctor are fighting desperately to see rehearsal footage from the star's posthumous concert film, it emerged today. Dr Conrad Murray's legal team believe that outtakes showing Jackson rehearsing in LA will show the pop star was in ill health before he died on June 25 2009. Record company Sony claim that the material should not be handed over. They will appear in court today to argue against the request. Trial: Dr Conrad Murray arriving at court last year to face charges that he killed Michael Jackson, right, in June 2009, before the singer's comeback tour The Sony team has filed hundreds of pages of documents arguing against the release. However, it is currently unclear what the footage shows. Prosecutors plan to use clips from This Is It to show Jackson was in good health just before he died, adding to their argument that he was unlawfully killed. The defence wants to show that Jackson's health was already poor. Murray's lawyers want to examine in detail more than 100 hours of raw footage of Jackson's concert rehearsals. Murray is charged with involuntary manslaughter in Jackson's death from an overdose of the anaesthetic propofol and other sedatives. Lawyers for Dr Murray, who will stand trial in September, have suggested in recent months that the singer gave himself the dose of anaesthetic. Dance moves: Michael Jackson rehearses on stage in LA just months before the planned This Is It shows at the O2 Arena in London in 2009 Distraught: Jackson fans break down as they watch his memorial broadcast live from LA on a TV screen outside the O2 arena Jackson, who died aged 50, had spent the previous four months rehearsing in LA for a run of 50 concerts which were to be held in London. The events were billed as the star's comeback shows and were predicted to raise hundreds of millions of dollars for his estate. A film, This Is It, was released after the star's death and earned $20.1m (£12.5m) at global box offices in its first day. After a two week limited run, producer Sony Pictures said the film had taken more than $200m (£124m) worldwide. Prosecutors are likely to argue that the complex and energetic dance moves that Jackson was practising in rehearsals prove that he was in good health. Grief: Latoya Jackson claims her brother was murdered Viewers of the film have also expressed surprise at how well the star looked, despite claims that his health had been deterioting. Defence lawyers are likely to claim that the amount of medication Jackson was taking proves he was too frail to complete such a strenuous tour. Before the tour started, it was rumoured that Jackson, a close friend of Mohammed Al Fayed who has campaigned for an inquest into circumstances surrounding Diana and his son Dodi, was going to use the world-wide publicity to speak openly about injustice in the world. One of the most outspoken songs he was due to perform was, 'They Don't Care About Us', which criticised world leaders. His sister, Latoya, has spoken extensively in the past about how she believes her brother was killed by a sinister inner circle. 'I believe Michael was murdered,' she said. 'I felt that from the start. Not just one person was involved, rather it was a conspiracy of people. He was surrounded by a bad circle. Michael was a very meek, quiet, loving person. 'People took advantage of that. People fought to be close to him, people who weren’t always on his side.' Conspiracy theorists have also suggested that Jackson's death may have been ordered by secret societies in order to suppress the claims the singer may have been about to make.
