Dangerous Drug Found in Jackson Home

Michael JacksonSources tell TMZ an extremely dangerous and potent drug used for surgical anesthesia was found at Michael Jackson's house after he died ... and this may well be the drug that killed him.

We're told the drug Propofol was discovered at the residence. The drug is used to put people under anesthesia before surgery. It is an extremely powerful drug that is only available to medical personnel. As one source said, "There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use."

The drug can only be administered with an IV. Interestingly, Propofol burns and the drug Lidocaine is used to reduce the pain associated with the Propofol injection. As we first reported, Lidocaine was found near Jackson's body.

One of the major side-effects of Propofol is cardiac arrest if it's taken in combination with narcotic painkillers, however, Propofol is so powerful it can stop someone's heart on its own.

A registered nurse has come out and said Jackson begged her for the drug Diprivan -- the brand name for Propofol. She says he needed it for insomnia but she declined to supply it.

Sources say the drug is so inappropriate and reckless for home use, if a doctor facilitated it for Jackson and it caused his death, he or she could be prosecuted for manslaughter.

451. Hey TMZ, you should really change the name of your site to the Michael Jackson Zone because it is no longer the Thirty Mile Zone. How about quit bl*wing the Jackson family and report on some other celebs liked you used to.

Oh and Jews are the Chosen Ones, not blacks.

453. This is why this nurse or dr cherilyn lee is on cnn stating that he was "begging" for this medication. I don't believe her when she syas she does not know this de conrad murray! she knows him and he knows wtf he gave michael and it was a deadly medical mishap! if you are not trained to administer anesthesia and then you don't monitor the patient....money is the rrot of all evil...a few people need their license revoked!

456. A NURSE came foward explaining that Michael had called her to ask that she give him something to put him to sleep. He stressed that he was extremely tired & just needed some sleep. She claimed that Michael did suffer from INSOMNIA (a sleep disorder where a person is not sleep). As I listened to the nurses plea, you can hear her pain. Michael asked her for a specific drug. She who was actually in Florida that Sunday suggested first, that she was not able to come to see him because she was in the ER herself & she would have to get information on the drug he asked her to give him. She consulted a doctor & that is when the doctor asked who is questioning her about this drug, that drug is extremely powerful, is mainly used in hospitals on ICU patients, & the drug has the power to do more than put you to sleep, it can potentially KILL a person. So the nurse stated that she left Florida to go visit Michael, bringing information on the drug he requested of her.

She sat down with Michael that day,with the information- to WARN him how FATAL this drug was & that it can do more than put him to sleep. She told him she CANNOT give this drug to him at all, & that he didn't need such a powerful drug. The Nurse was visibly upset, you can hear that she had been crying. I was shocked a chill went through my entire body as this woman told what happened just days before MJ death.

I believe that that DOCTOR MURRAY gave MJ this very Medication, the man ended up PANICKING when Michaels heart stopped, he knew what he had just did was ILLEGAL...thats why he waits sooo long to call 911. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

457.
"While in Florida on June 21, Lee was contacted by a member of Jackson's staff.

"He 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,'" Lee said."

"...the drug Propofol was discovered at the residence...The drug can only be administered with an IV. Interestingly,
Propofol burns and the drug Lidocaine is used to reduce the pain associated with the Propofol injection..."

Yes his talent and music was unquestionable...but on the flip side of the "persona" he was just another sad and pathetic Anna Nicole

459. ToJenny. The joke is on u hon. Things are not as u make it to make urself feel superior u tell this fabrication about a people u don't have a clue about . That is to our advantage. Just keep right on believing that. I beg of u to believe that. As to Jbtrrflyz or whatever I'm not doing a thing for society. My service on this earth is to make my way off of it when my time comes and come face to face with the Master. I am not out here fronting like I am so good and better than others, I am enduring and bearing the cross he gave me called Life. And that endurance includes putting up with the hatred that Michael Jackson (my Virgo brother) and the black race face everyday from the self-proclaimed righteous. U helped this man to an early grave, but it was still God's will that he left this plane that day and hour. Rest In Paradise Virgo.

460. STOP TALKING ABOUT MICHAEL JACKSON THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN THIS GUY'S DEATH. JESUS.

461. Propofol could easily be stolen from any hospital ICU or Operating Room as it is not a controlled substance under lock and key. How could Michael get it? Money talks...Propofol walks. This drug should never be used without advanced life support(i.e. a ventilator) already in place. It is used in ICU's to keep patients in a light coma while on a ventilator and is a POTENT respiratory depressant. This is NOT a sleeping pill. I hope whoever provided/administered it to MJ can sleep at night....or maybe I don't.

465. Remember, the "Dr" said he didn't give MJ Demerol or Oxycontin...He said nothing about Propofol...
When are they going to throw the book at these Licensed MURDERERS?...
Elvis Presley
Anna Nicole Smith
Heath Ledger
Michale Jackson
Your Name Here (if you're a celeb addict)

Didn't the death of Elvis bring about laws against these ILLEGAL drug pushers?...Why aren't they being enforced?...Aren't narcotic prescriptions tracked?...Whose name were the drugs prescribed in?...
The cycle continues...
