Michael Jackson’s last day, broken down minute by minute

According to his bodyguard, the car of Michael’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, parked outside the house. Michael’s security staff escorted him into the house and to the foot of the stairs, which he climbed before entering his bedroom.

According to a police statement, Murray was concerned that Jackson was addicted to propofol, a powerful anesthetic normally only used in medical settings. He told officers he was trying to get him off the drug.

At 3 a.m. Murray gave him a sedative, and again several hours later when he couldn’t fall asleep.

At five in the morning, Jackson was still awake and frustrated.

“I need to sleep, I need to be ready for concerts… the medicine isn’t working,” said Murray, who complained.

At 7am Michael was still awake and Murray tried something else, but it had no effect.

And at 10 a.m., Jackson begged for propofol, which he called his milk because it was a white, liquid drug. “I want milk, I know it works,” he said.

And at 10:30 a.m., Murray administered a diluted form of propofol. Jackson finally fell asleep. Murray stepped away to use the bathroom. When he returned, Jackson was not breathing.

He started CPR. Prince and Paris entered the room and started crying when they saw Murray trying to save their father.

He finally called 911 and asked for an ambulance. Paramedics arrived at 12:27 p.m. Jackson wasn’t breathing and he had no pulse.

He was in full cardiac arrest and they still tried to revive him, but they couldn’t. He was taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center at 1:07 p.m.

By 2:25 p.m., Jackson was pronounced dead.

Two years later, in 2011, Murray was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and served less than two years of a four-year prison sentence.
