The shocking medical secret that ended the King of Pop. 💔
Michael Jackson died on June 25, 2009, at the age of 50 after suffering sudden cardiac arrest at his rented home in Los Angeles, California. His death was officially ruled a homicide by the Los Angeles County Coroner. The primary cause of death was acute propofol intoxication, compounded by the presence of other powerful sedatives, including lorazepam, midazolam, and diazepam.At the time of his death, Jackson was preparing for a massive 50-date comeback concert series in London titled This Is It. The stress and physical demands of rehearsals exacerbated his chronic, severe insomnia. To combat this, his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, routinely administered powerful prescription medications to help the singer sleep at night.On the morning of June 25, after several other sedatives failed to work, Dr. Murray administered a lethal dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol via an intravenous drip. Murray then left Jackson unattended. Upon returning to the room, the doctor discovered that Jackson had stopped breathing and had no pulse. Emergency services were not called until more than an hour after the singer went into cardiac arrest.The subsequent investigation revealed that Dr. Murray had been administering surgical-grade anesthesia in a residential bedroom without necessary monitoring, resuscitation equipment, or oxygen. In November 2011, Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter for criminal negligence. He was sentenced to four years in prison and served two years before being released early for good behavior
