Jackson Riddled with Injection Marks

Michael JacksonMultiple sources tell TMZ Michael Jackson had dozens of injection sites all over his body.

As we first reported, Propofol, a powerful anesthetic, was found in the house after Jackson died. Various medical experts tell us there is absolutely no medical justification for Jackson to have had this drug in his home -- it is used to knock people out before surgery. It is administered through an IV.

We're told Jackson wanted the drug to sleep and that he had cravings for anesthesia -- whenever he had even the most minor medical procedure ... he had the doctor put him under.

It is increasingly looking like Propofol may have caused Jackson to go into cardiac arrest and die. The doctors we spoke with say it's reckless for any doctor to supply Jackson with Propofol and especially reckless to administer it to him at home.

The fact that Jackson had dozens of injection sites on his body would have made it clear to any doctor that Jackson had a drug problem.

Criminal manslaughter is defined as the reckless disregard for human life. The talk in law enforcement -- this case seems to fit the bill.

64. 38. I bet I know why MJ liked anesthesia. He was obsessed with living forever and I bet he thought that your mind/body aged slower while you were "under". Anyone think of that? I bet that's what he was doing: trying to "preserve" himself by putting himself into suspended animation. Either that, or it was some sick pleasure he got form the feeling of dying and coming back to life.Posted at 5:45PM on Jul 1st 2009 by JD

You could be right. I was thinking that with all the cosmetic surgeries he'd had, he got used to being knocked out & not having to deal with his inadequacies. In fact, maybe that's WHY he had so many ELECTIVE surgeries. He wanted to be anesthetized (knocked out).

65. This is horrible if it is true. I'm not seeing any source quoted that any of this is fact, but it is not the first time since he died that I heard he had many needle marks on him. What a horrible father to be on all those pharmies and have that deadly anesthesia drug in the home. He could not have been providing a fit environment for those children. I'll bet his staff raised those kids. Shame on him. He should not be worshipped.

69. Of course he was killed via drugs and of course this is going to be a criminal investigation...Are we forgetting that the LA COPS raided Michaels house for these types of drugs...Why else would they do it unless they saw the marks

70. Why must it be Dr. Klein who supplied Propofol? Do a Google search. Anyone who wants it can get it online.

71. If his family cared at all about him, they will push the D.A. to file criminal charges against the doctor(s) who prescribed this medication provided this is true. It's time to clean up the industry and pull the licenses of doctors who provide these types of drugs to patients that they KNOW are addicts. I hope that TMZ will publish the name of the doctor who gave this drug to Michael.

72. If this is the cause and it looks like it is, I feel so sad for Michael and everybodyelse, family, friends & fans. It is truly heartbreaking to know that he is gone, and however much we want to know how it all ended - there is also this part of you that doesn't want to know, and kind of try and pretend it hasn't happened. Lets hope that, being that it is likely to have been an anesthesia drug, lets hope that he didn't suffer - just went off to sleep and not awoke. The most tragic thing about this is, if he was addicted to this anaesthesia drug, then surely it sounds like he would rather be asleep in life than awake - that this drug gives him the peace that he craved, even if it was just a short time of the day/night. What does that tell you? His state of poor mental health, should have been addressed and monitored by somebody for his, own good. He may have been a great, singer, dancer, writer, all round entertainer, but at the end of the day, this guy was a man - made of flesh and blood, with feelings just like everybodyelse on this planet, and a pathway of problems that were drawn up for him, right from a young age, for many differn't reasons. What a terrible shame - he began as a cute good looking little kid, to a handsome young man, who was sadly, dis-satisfied with his looks, for a myriad of reasons - and we shouldn't judge him for that. Maybe some can identify with it, some will not. It makes me feel so sad that someone, felt that badly about them self that the become intent on what he did with all the surgery - it is just another way of self-harming. God Bless x

73. although very tragic mj could have gotten any drug anywhere at any time nobody will ever know what was going through his mind that day or how he was feeling.its not a racial issue or a who done it issue just like any drug perscription or not he chose to try and take something so if he had someone get him a street drug or he ordered it its his decision everyone knows money talks and if you are selling drugs and someone like him wants it they will pay any amout to get it trust me i have never done drugs i hate them but he was a grown man and he would do what he was gonna do no matter what
