In the early morning of August 25th, Beijing time, according to foreign media reports, the chief coroner of Los Angeles announced the cause of Michael Jackson's death in Houston court, claiming that he was killed by injection of powerful anesthetic propofol, which was a homicide.
On the morning of 24th, the harris county District Court in Houston published a court document to investigate Michael Jackson's death. Michael Jackson's personal doctor Murray's clinic is located in this jurisdiction. On July 22nd, LAPD searched Murray's clinic. In this court document, Sasyawicki Svangren, the chief coroner of Los Angeles County, hinted that he had reached a preliminary conclusion through autopsy that Michael Jackson died of using a lethal dose of propofol.
In this authorized testimony, Murray told the police that he had treated Michael for insomnia for about six weeks, and he gave Michael 50 mg of propofol intravenously every night. Murray told the police that he was worried that Michael was addicted to drugs, so he tried to get Michael to quit propofol. Murray then reduced the daily dose of propofol to 25 mg and mixed two other sedatives, lorazepam and midazolam. On June 23rd, two days before Michael died, Murray claimed that he only gave Michael lorazepam and midazolam, and stopped using propofol.
In this court document, Murray described in detail the medication process on the day of Michael's death. He said that in the early morning of 25th, he tried to stop using propofol for Michael who suffered from insomnia. At 1: 30 in the morning, he gave Michael ordinary valium tablets, but it didn't work. At two in the morning, he injected Michael with lorazepam; At 3 o'clock, Michael was still awake, so Murray injected him with midazolam. In the next few hours, Murray used other drugs for Michael. At 0: 40 in the morning10, Murray injected Michael with 25 milligrams of propofol at Michael's repeated request.
In an interview with LAPD, Murray said that he left Michael's room the day after he found out that the drug worked, and then called his clinic and family in Houston. When he returned to Michael's room, he found that Michael had stopped breathing. He gave him artificial respiration immediately, and one of Michael's entourage immediately called 9 1 1. Michael was then taken to UCLA Medical Center for emergency treatment and died soon after.
According to media reports here, propofol is a powerful sedative and must be managed and used by a professional anesthesiologist, but Murray is not qualified to use propofol. Even though he claimed to use propofol to help Michael sleep, he could not escape the criminal charge of manslaughter.
Michael Jackson has given the world so much-magical and charming songs and dances, loving and kind help, noble character and eternal innocence, but he has been misunderstood and framed by the world for a long time only because of his achievements and deep-rooted racism. Maybe it's just because we're human, that's all.
