Jackson Self-Injecting Demerol, Doctor Says

Michael Jackson Self-Injecting Demerol,A doctor who treated Michael Jackson claimed the singer self-injected Demerol into his system.

We've combed through tens of thousands of pages of the official file for the 2005 molestation trial. In the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's notes, a member of Jackson's security detail -- retired L.A. County Sheriff's deputy Michael Laperruque -- said some doctors were trying to get Jackson off of Demerol, and that one of the doctor's in Santa Barbara "was upset with JACKSON because he had been self-injecting."

Laperruque told detectives he had picked up Jackson's prescriptions for the singer, usually under the name Chris Carter. Carter was one of Jackson's bodyguards.

Laperruque also told detectives one time when he was at Neverland his job was to keep Jackson's family out because they were planning an intervention.

346. I really don't believe any of this. I believe he had an addiction problem but it could not have been this bad. And all of this is coming out after he's dead too? It just seems like more speculation, the very thing that characterized MJ's career and personal life. We have got to leave this man alone and let him rest in peace. Please for his kids and family and for him as a human being. And I also don't believe that story about keeping his family out of his house because they were planning an intervention either. Where did that even come from? Come on guys seriously let's just remember him for his music and talent and let the people who actually knew him personally remember him for the person he was. Only God has the right to judge others. We all have done really bad things in the past whether it be with drugs or anything else. Let go of the speculation and lets stop focusing on this mans death and let's remember the good he did while God let him stay here.

347. To cornbread: He might have been a "music genius" but that has nothing to do with believing in God. On a different subject, read your history. "Your people" are responsible for you being here. They sold you into slavery to the white people. If you're so concerned what others think about you, perhaps you should get a better education because your spelling and grammer are horrible. You make it sound like you don't believe Jackson was a "doper". Helloooo!! HE WAS A DOPER!!!! You black people are so quick to claim him as one of your own but keep failing to see that he DID NOT want to be black. He DID NOT want his children to be black. Those children have none of his DNA in them because he did not want them to look like black people so he had some white guy be the bio father. Cornbread, you sound like a very bitter person. The white people are not to blame for your lot in life. Get an education, a job and stop blaming the white race for all of your problems. It's old and used up. Get over yourself!!! The problems you have, you have brought on yourself!!!

348. Michael estava tão ansioso com sua turnê que nem pensou nas consequencias de seus atos mas,também que médicos são estes que dão remédio forte para um paciente dependente de remédios será que eles não poderiam ter dado remédio mais fraco? Agora só nos resta as lembranças.

349. Go to any 12 meeting and you will hear stories of people who grew up with addicts and ended up having issues themselves. Why would a family who knew MJ had these serious issues do nothing to protect his children? I hope the judge who is hearing the issue of who is to have guardenship over the children takes a long hard look at the families history and their past actions. These kids had to have seen their father when he was high, they might not have understood at first but as they grew older they must have had some inkling as to what was causing his actions, and far too may kids of addicts blame themselves

350. I want to throw up everytime I hear about him. Haven't we had enough of this junkie? I hope kids don't see him as a role model. SOS.

351. I think it is really ironic that all of this drug abuse evidence was kind of pushed aside in favor of the racier stuff that made the child molestation charges look more credible,

Here they had proof that he was arguably an unfit junkie parent, or at least in need of custodial supervision, and it was small potatoes to the police??????????

352. Isn't it true in most states if the cops come into your home, they can only arrest you or charge you with what the warrent was issued for.

353. Legitimate Patient = I agree with you here U am also concerned about the fall out on people who actully takes these drugs as perscribed..

354. Basically he was a heroin addict.....how sad!

355. I agree with legitimate patient. We with chronic pain conditions will be the ones who pay for the abuse of others. My Dr. gives me the prescriptions for pain related to my Autoimmune disease. What would our life be if we had none to take? I couldn't leave my house is what my life would be like. All abusers should be ashamed! I never take more than my Dr. tells me to. He trusts me and I can't abuse that trust he has in me. Otherwise, we are both in trouble. I am so pleased that he trusts me enough to give me what I need to live, work and plain old participate in life.

357. I don't believe most of what is being written on this site. But if Michael really did have a serious drug problem, then there is a whole lot of people to blame for helping create this problem. First off, he had legitimate health problems that would necessitate the need for pain medications, hence why he started taking them. Someone with physical ailments needing pain medication and becoming addicted is just about like someone who is addicted to food needing food. You pretty much have to have it. Michael was in such a dark place in his life because of people lying about him and lying to him. He was basically abused by people all his life. Despite all the allegations, he tried his damnedest to remain strong and probably remained as strong as anyone could without just rolling up in a ball and dying. Can't people just see how sad this is? He wasn't a junkie and he wasn't a pedophile. He was someone suffering, suffering at the hands of others and their evil ways.

359. I don't know about drugs, but Jackson was a big fan of Wine

360. It is very difficult to take the pills, vicodin in this case we are gaining control of our body, we must remain very careful and not fall and hang on to drugs, always remember to look at this couple and for our future. I read findrxonline certainly are very addictive and so we need to know control.
