DESPERATE to ease his pain and torment, addict Michael Jackson secretly boosted his dosage of the drug propofol — and sent himself to an early grave, leaving his private physician Dr. Conrad Murray to take the fall!
That’s the explosive conclusion of an investigation conducted a dozen years after the tragedy, with legal and medical experts telling GLOBE there’s evidence the 50-year-old King of Pop increased his IV drip on the sly, causing his own death on June 25, 2009.
Terrified by the grueling This Is It comeback tour he faced, physically ailing and more than $400 million in debt, Jackson was in agony and taking a sea of drugs to drown his pain at the time of his death.
While the powerful anesthesia pushed him into oblivion, his autopsy also found lorazepam, midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine in his system.
UCLA sleep expert Dr. Nader Kamangar says the drug cocktail “was the perfect storm” to kill Jackson.
Medical examiner Dr. Cyril H. Wecht tells GLOBE: “Michael contributed to his own death by being a drug user; he knew the effects and the risks of all the drugs he took.
“Midazolam, lorazepam and diazepam are all very strong drugs and would certainly have contributed to his death.”
