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.

469. You're right Shemia, you're not doing anything for society. Or, evidently, your race.

"the last thing ANY black person wants to be is white. We down to a man thank God he made us Black. Michael was just bleaching his skin as our elders advised us to do when we were young for its purifying. Beleive me he was not trying to be white. I would just die if I woke up white. Thank You Jesus for making me Black.

If you're not 'out here fronting', like you are 'so good and better than others', then maybe you should have thought about that before you typed the above statement. Because that statement, is racism at it's worst. I love how some African Americans use the 'racist' card, then spew their own hatred and racism. It's a vicious cycle.

And, no, Shemia, I did not help Michael to an early grave. That is an assinine statement. Nice try though, but I will give you this, I helped make him rich by purchasing many of the Jackson 5/Michael Jackson lps, going to concerts and purchasing their merchandise in my lifetime. That money of course, helped him get the drugs HE wanted that helped to kill him. That is an assinine statement. And by the way, what assumption have you made that I'm white?

470. To Jenny. If Black people wanted to be white we would not have our own Black culture, neighborhods, churches, style, swag, etc, etc, etc.

471. I believe Michael Jackson did not molest children, I believe he was a sad man-child who had a father that was a monster, self-serving and evil. After watching Joe Jackson interviewed recently and his self-promoting ego, just made me sick. Call it intuition, but I never felt comfortable about him, and I now see.... Michael Jackson never matured emotionally and he was so alone. I hope he finds peace in his transition from this world. And, on another note, if it was a doctor who participated in providing him with such a drug, he/she should be tried for second degree murder. He/she knew full well what that drug did. He/she cannot plead ignorance. R.I.P. Michael!

472. EXACTLY - and regardless of Michael's addiction to pain medication, both doctors need to go to JAIL for negligence and for involuntary (or voluntary) manslaughter.

LAPD, do your job! Even Law & Order could of figured this out!

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS MURDERED BY HIS DOCTOR. Case closed!

________________________

343. Now it all makes sense. Dr. Klein was not there that night. If he was, you can believe Dr. Murray and his attorney would have been quick to tell everyone that to take the suspicion off him. This was not an assisted suicide. Several people have said Michael was in great spirits that night and performed great at the rehearsal. He was excited about making his comeback.
Here's what I believe happened.
- The nurse who was on AC 360 said Michael begged for the drug and wanted her to come over to watch him sleep. He told her he had insomnia and was exhausted and just wanted to sleep eight hours. That means MJ was aware that the drug was risky; that's why he wanted someone to watch him all night.
- Michael comes home very late after rehearsal and other meetings. He knows he is too wound up to sleep but he's exhausted so he calls Dr. Murray and asks him to cover over to give him Propofol via an IV, then watch him sleep. Since the good doctor is making thousands of dollars a day, it's not too much to ask.
- Dr. Murray stets up the IV, Michael goes to sleep. Dr. Murray watches him for a few minutes. But at some point he leaves the room -- we don't know for how long. It could have been a two-minute bathroom break, he could have left for two hours, or he could have gone to bed in another room.
- When he goes to wake up Michael the next morning (remember you have to stop the IV to wake the patient), he finds Michael STONE COLD DEAD. Michael has suffered cardiac arrest sometime during the night.
-Dr. Murray panics and realizes he has to dispose of the evidence: the drug and the IV. This takes him a few minutes.; his car seems the most likely hiding place. Or maybe he even drove to his home if he lived close by.
- He returns to Michael's room and pretends he JUST FOUND HIM not breathing. He starts CPR and calls for staff to help. No need to move Michael from the bed to the floor; for the "phony" CPR because he knows Michael is dead and cannot be revived. He makes a big show of trying to revive him, though.
- After a member of the staff calls Joe Jackson in Las Vegas, 911 is finally called, The staffer sounds so calm on the phone because the doctor hasn't fooled him; the staffer knows Michael is dead and can't be revived because so much time has lapsed and he can tell the doctor is making a half-hearted attempt at CPR.

Finally, I don't think Dr. Klein is the dad. The kids all have distinctive strong features: protruding ears and wide-set eyes. I don't think any of them resemble Klein at all. But it is odd that he ducked from the media. If he's not the day, why not just say so?

473. I STRONGLY STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THE ANSWER AS TO WHAT KILLED MICHEAL JACKSON LIES WITH THE NURSE, DR. KLIEN AND DR. MURRAY WHY WOULD DR. MURRAY HAVE TO CHECK UP ON MICHEAL WHILE HE SLEPT? WHY? HE ADMINISTERED SOMETHING AND HAD TO CHECK ON MICHEAL. HE STEPPED OUT OF THE ROOM AND MAYBE FORGOT TO CHECK AND WHEN HEWENT BACK TO THE ROOM HE FOUND MICHEAL BARELY BREATHING ,THEN PANICKED ,GIVING CPR ON THE BED AND NOT CALLING 911 FOR 30 MINUTES. PPL ONE OF THS THREE PPL HAVE THE ANSWER TO WHAT KILLED MICHEAL.JACKSON.

474. People are sad to be making comments at this time; can't you just pay the poor man respect, because he deserves it. Would you talk about your family like the way you are doing? Didn't think so and what was posted on TMZ about the propofol is BS; that is not even confirmed. Some so-said nurse reported MJ asking her for a script but who is to say that IS true. Get real people, you all must have a years subscription to the Enquirer, if you believe everything you hear then you are stupid! And to comment on the immortalizing of his lower torso, i hope they do and he moonwalks all over your asses.....

RIP Michael.....

475. feeling bad for Michael Jackson, it appears his family and "friends" will do to him in death exactly what they did to him in life.....exploit him and his soul for some more money. wish they would learn the definition of private and respect.

476. now it is really obvious that something's fishy about that stupid doctor who was with him before he passed. justice will prevail! michael jackson never deserved this. he's truly a legend!

477. I think this tour was a last ditch attempt for the creditors to get their money back.
What if it was becoming clear that after all the money that had been invested in the tour MJ couldnt do it. It could have flopped after one show, more money down the drain, no chance of recompense to the creditors.

The only other option was to cut their losses and take a gamble. MJ was worth far more dead than alive. Its worth thinking about there was big, big money involved here.

2.HE WAS PUSHED TO BE IN THE FINAL CONCERT,"THIS IS IT" BY A GROUP OF LARGE MAFIA.HE WAS PUSHED BY THEM TO PAY HIS DEBT.
3.HE WAS DYING BECAUSE OF THE WHITENING DRUGS THAT THE DOCTORS GAVE HIM.

479. I did think Jamie Foxx was a great comedian, but after his comments on bet I think he has dissapoonted a lot of people, Wow Jamie I didn`t know you were a racist...thanks for letting us all know I wont watch you anymore. MJ liked white women, white kids, he even changed his looks to become more white....You black folks are so funny on the one hand you claim to be proud to be black but then you go and get your hair straight to look like white people...

480. To JStbtrflyz, u are correct. I Do Not Like All White People. I have my picks that I would call a friend, but as for the rest u are vile and vulgar. The disparaging things I am reading on this blog from obvious white posters has made me furious, but at the same time I am very very secure and proud of the life I was given to live. I was, am and will always be proud of Michael Jackson and will never judge a member of my race for their conduct good or bad. This is why I am so grateful that I am not a member of the white race.
