Michael’s family as well as half of the world believed there was much more to his death. Michael Jackson’s sister La Toya believed his death was a murder. In August 2009 the coroner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide; the cause was a lethal combination of sedatives and propofol, an anesthetic. In November 2011 Jackson’s personal physician was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. (Michael Jackson) Jackson had been having trouble sleeping. His doctor, Conrad Murry was the target of manslaughter. (Jackson, Michael) For six weeks he was treating Jackson for insomnia. Jackson was taking 50 milligrams of propofol every night. The doctor claims that he was worried that Jackson might be forming an addiction to this powerful drug, and wanted to wean him off of it. At around 1:30 a.m on June 25, the day of Michael’s death, he said he couldn’t sleep. Murry tried other drugs instead of propofol to make him sleep. Later around 10:40 Murry said he gave in to Jackson’s “repeated demands” for propofol. He remained with him for about ten minutes and then proceeded to the bathroom. When Murry returned he says that Michael stopped breathing.(Today article) The last dosage of propofol combined with the other series of drugs previously is what sent Michael into cardiac arrest. He was highly sedated. Murry gave Michael an overdose and a mix of various drugs that tipped the edge. Many say that his 2009 death was ultimately an accidental overdose. (BioMichael Jackson) While others blame Murry Conrad, for the lethal levels that were found in Michael’s body. Accidental, or purposely, let the King rest in peace.
