dailyloe.com – Michael Jackson died in 2009, and his death has drawn renewed public attention due to the release of the movie Michael.
His nephew, Jaafar Jackson, portrays him in the film, which has sparked discussions about Jackson’s legacy and death.
The autopsy report revealed that Jackson’s cause of death was ‘acute propofol intoxication.’ He was 50 years old at the time of his passing.
Jackson’s death occurred in a hospital in Los Angeles. His doctor, Conrad Murray, was later found guilty of involuntary manslaughter by a jury in Los Angeles.
Prosecutors claimed that Murray was an incompetent physician who administered propofol without proper safeguards. The defense contended that Jackson died from a drug overdose.
Murray reportedly gave Jackson propofol to help him sleep. Propofol is a fast-acting hospital sedative that has been widely used since the late 1980s.
In addition to propofol, Jackson was also using other drugs, including Valium, lorazepam, and midazolam, according to Entertainment Weekly.
On June 27, 2009, shortly after Jackson’s death, Murray was interviewed by detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department.
During this interview, Murray described his attempts to get Jackson to sleep using drugs other than propofol, which ultimately led to his death.
