Powerful Intravenous Sedative Found In Jackson's House...
Posted on Tue Jun 30, 2009 10:29 PM PDT
It's no secret that Michael Jackson was on numerous medications, but was a powerful sedative to blame for his shocking death last week?
According to the Associated Press, Jackson repeatedly begged his caretakers for Diprivan (aka Propofol) despite warnings it could be harmful, and it's now being reported that the drug was found in his Holmby Hills estate after he died.
Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who worked closely with the pop icon said that she repeatedly rejected Jackson's demands for the drug, which is a powerful intravenous anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. However, it appears as though Jackson found another way to get it, and we have to wonder if he might still be alive today if he hadn't gotten his hands on the drug.
Dr. John Dombrowski, a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Anesthesiologists told the AP that an overdose that stops breathing may result in a buildup of carbon dioxide, causing the heart to beat erratically, leading to cardiac arrest. Add painkillers (such as Demorol, which Jackson was also taking) to the mix, and you've got a recipe for disaster.
Lee received a call from a Jackson staffer just four days before his death, and she tells the AP:
- "[The staffer] called and was very frantic and said, 'Michael needs to see you right away.' I said, 'What's wrong?' And I could hear Michael in the background... 'One side of my body is hot, it's hot, and one side of my body is cold. It's very cold.' I said, 'Tell him he needs to go the hospital. I don't know what's going on, but he needs to go to the hospital...right away.' At that point I knew that somebody had given him something that hit the central nervous system. He was in trouble Sunday and he was crying out."
However, Jackson did not go to the hospital, and while an official cause of death still hasn't been determined, it sure looks like this might have been the medication that pushed the reportedly frail Jackson over the edge....
Whoever administered this drug is in deep sh*t, that's for sure!

Daayum y'all I needs ta get me sum a dat shizz!!
His father is the one to blame 4 all that happened to him.. he was beating the fxxx out of his children, everybody knows. he is not even grieving, has a great time and laughs his axx off when paps are taking photos of him. never loved his children, only profited from them. And Michael, as sensitive as he was, needed to find a way how to escape the pain he felt. I´m so sorry 4 him..rip Michael
Why are others so unwilling to hold MJ responsible for ASKING for these drugs and Im sure paying alot of money to get them. He was a troubled man in private with serious addictions. This does not negate his talent or what he achieved professionally. Let's keep this realistic people. It's not good idolize or put others on a pedestal because they will let you down every single time with their humaness.
Everyone had or has some kind of issues with their family,so to blame his parents is nothing shy of being a coward. The other kids TURNED OUT FINE and they never,ever! said a word about their parents or childhood ect. except for Latoya,which btw! she is the same difference as MJ.
The sad truth is that MJ ruined his life with hardcore drugs, narcissism and he paid lawyers & other scum,just so that he could continue to molest young boys.
Seeing pictures of MJ with kids,sends chills down my spine-
This story keeps getting worse everyday.
If feel so, so bad for his kids. By all accounts he loved those kids and it is heart breaking that someday these kids are going to read all of these stories about their father.
I agree that everyone is responsible for their own well being. However, addicts are very sick people who cannot make the best decsions for themselves. It is tragic that someone didn't take the bull by the horns for him the way Britney Spears Dad did and save his life.
So these are the 'vitamins' all you fools were insisting he was taking? He probably needed lots of drugs over the last decade or so to erase the looks of the betrayed children he raped that rightly haunted him!
The coroner is unsure what to put as the cause of Michael Jackson’s death. He doesn’t know whether to blame it on the sunshine, the moonlight, the good times, or the boogie
Daily intravenous Demorol and demanding Diprivan. Brilliant! I can’t wait for the toxicology report to be released.
I think it is awful that no one stopped Michael from taking these drugs. It breaks my heart. He could still be here making good music and giving excellent performances. I wish this wasn't true. Rest in Peace Michael. A whole bunch of people did not let you rest here. SAC from Indianapolis, Indiana
It is the end of the road for those who caused him so much misery. Rest in Peace. We all hope to see again in heaven. You are a musical angel now. Indianapolis, Indiana You're gone tooo soon.
A perverted drug addict who is not in hell suffering for his wasted life! All the hoopla by the morons in the media, entertainment, and sick fans doesn't change the fact that he got what he deserved, and the world is a better place without him. He was a very sick creature!
