As the world continues to try to grasp and make sense of the incredibly shocking death of Michael Jackson, several people close to the family and investigation are hinting that prescription drugs may have played a role in the King of Pop's demise.
TMZ is reporting that a Jackson family members have confirmed that Michael received a shot of Demerol just before Noon on Thursday, and that the dosage was "too much." They say Jackson typically recieved a shot of Demerol daily.
Britain's The Sun, citing sources at the UCLA hospital where Jackson was treated, is reporting that Jackson stopped breathing shortly after a shot of Demerol, a drug similar to morphine. "Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing. His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped," the Sun source said. His staff started mouth-to-mouth and an ambulance was called which got there in eight minutes. But paramedics found he was in full respiratory arrest, no breathing and no pulse. They started full CPR and rushed him to hospital," the source continues.
Brian Oxman, the Jackson Family spokesman and former lawyer for Michael, told CNN in an interview on Thursday night that "I can only tell you that this is something that was not unexpected." Oxman went on to say that "the medications which Michael was under, this family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson."
Oxman went on to compare the Jackson situation to that of the late Anna Nicole Smith. "The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him. If you think the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it's nothing in comparison to what we have seen taking place in Michael Jackson's life," Oxman told CNN.
Jackson's friend Liza Minelli seemed to hint at the same during a Friday morning interview on CBS' 'The Early Show,' during which she said: "When the autopsy comes, all hell's going to break loose, so thank God we're celebrating him now."
Jackson's friend Uri Geller says he thinks it was the pressure of Michael's upcoming 50+ concert tour that put added weight on the King of Pop. "He was in good shape ... I'm not a doctor, but I can only assume he was under immense stresses and pressures, and you can ask any doctor, stress is a killer. The pressure of these concerts, putting under huge pressures, he was a perfectionist. That could have been what did it. But that's just my opinion," Geller told UsMagazine.com.
The official cause of Jackson's death won't be known until an autopsy has been completed. As of now, cardiac arrest is being blamed for his death.

  • He was interviewed about what the last thing he ate was, and he said "they're trying to kill me." who is THEY? None other than ILLUMINATI, of course.

  • Michael's, uh, life was the cause of his death.

  • I do agree with you that Dr. Conrad Murry should have been locked up a long time ago. It's a shame that it hasn't happened yet

  • I'm calm!!! I didn't know that you are so sensitive!!! sorry! I just can't wait when the police arrested dr Murry!! he should be in jail long , long time ago!!!!

  • Please calm yourself down SuperRenata23, I posted this video a few days after he died just after that information was released. I know that it may sound redundant now that everybody knows about it, but your harsh criticism was way out of line.

  • just like in the song "Morphine"

  • if the the drug (medicine pain killer thingy) wouldnt have been given by his doctor... god would let him live to the fullest.

  • thank you!

  • Yup it was the demerol that caused this. I think that it is rediculous how fake everyone is being because people called Michael a bunch of things so...like wacko jacko n pedophile crazy exc.. People tried to make him look crazy. The media already knew Michael's "kid's" names but made it seem like Michael name the youngest one blanket. Screw the media yall don't care RIP Michael Jackson.
