Michael Jackson ‘was really killed by his own tragic drug mistake’
Terrified by the grueling This Is It comeback tour he faced, physically ill and over $400 million in debt, Jackson was in pain at the time of his death and swallowed a sea of drugs to drown the pain.
While the powerful anesthesia pushed him into oblivion, his autopsy also found lorazepam, midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine in his system.
UCLA sleep expert Dr. Nader Kamangar says the drug cocktail was “the perfect storm” to kill Jackson.
Medical researcher Dr. Cyril H. Wecht said: “Michael contributed to his own death by using drugs; he knew the effects and risks of all the drugs he was taking.
“Midazolam, lorazepam and diazepam are all very strong drugs and would certainly have contributed to his death.”
Yet in November 2011, Dr. Murray, a cardiologist, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison for his role in Jackson’s death.
He was released after serving two of those years.
