Anesthetic found in Jackson’s home

LOS ANGELES — The powerful sedative Diprivan was found in Michael Jackson’s home, a law enforcement official said Friday as the city planned for a massive crowd at the singer’s memorial service.

Diprivan is an anesthetic widely used in operating rooms to induce unconsciousness. Also known as Propofol, it’s given intravenously and is very unusual to have in a private home.

The law enforcement official spoke on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak about the matter.

A Los Angeles Police spokesman, Lt. John Romero, declined to discuss the case. “It’s an ongoing investigation, he said.

At the downtown Staples Center, where Jackson’s memorial will be held Tuesday, Assistant Police Chief Earl Paysinger said up to 700,000 people could try to reach the arena, even though only 17,500 free tickets will be available.

City Councilwoman Jan Perry urged people to stay home and watch the memorial on TV. There will not be a funeral procession through the city.

Free tickets to Jackson’s memorial service can be obtained by registering at Staplescenter.com. There will be 11,000 tickets for seats inside Staples Center and 6,500 for seats in the adjacent Nokia Theatre, where fans can watch a simulcast. After 6 p.m. Saturday, 8,750 names will be randomly selected to receive two tickets each.

No details of the memorial service itself have been released.

Authorities are investigating allegations that the 50-year-old Jackson had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants. Any criminal charges would depend on whether Jackson had been overly prescribed medications, given drugs inappropriate for his needs, or if doctors knowingly prescribed Jackson medications under an assumed name.

Edward Chernoff, a lawyer for Jackson’s doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, said Friday through a spokeswoman that he had agreed with investigators not to comment until information is released through official channels. Murray was in Jackson’s rented mansion when the singer collapsed June 25.

Murray has spoken to police and authorities say he is not a suspect. In an earlier interview, Chernoff said Murray never gave or prescribed Jackson the painkillers Demerol or OxyContin, and denied reports suggesting that the doctor gave the pop star drugs that contributed to his death.

Chernoff would not discuss what drugs the doctor administered to Jackson, but said they would have been prescribed in response to a specific complaint.

As Jackson recently prepared for a massive series of comeback concerts, he was so distraught over persistent insomnia that he pleaded for Diprivan, according to Cherilyn Lee, a registered nurse who was working with the singer.

Lee said she repeatedly rejected his demands because the drug was unsafe.

It’s still not known what caused Jackson’s death at age 50. The pop star went into cardiac arrest in his bedroom and his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, performed CPR while an ambulance was called, according to Murray’s lawyers. Murray has spoken to police and authorities say he is not a suspect.

An autopsy was conducted but results are not expected for several weeks. The Jackson family had a second autopsy performed and those results also are pending.

It's the toxicology report that will be the interesting one. I guess that will take weeks.

Not according to Propofol Drug Information, Professional

And not on Michael Jackson either, according to the same source. The guy's a dancer, he's been in continuous practice for months to get ready for the O2 concerts, can you imagine him taking something with a 24 hour wind-down from "added caution in driving or performing other tasks requiring alertness and coordination"? I'm sure, with all the doctoring he hired in, there were a lot of treatments in storage in the house that were just there in the event of emergencies.

Yes, i agree. He could use it for dental treatment and all sorts. To suggest it was to drug children is ridiculous given the amount of staff around Jackson at any one time. Really !!! Some folks minds???

Coroner rules Jackson’s death a homicide - Michael Jackson- msnbc.com

hehe Along, great minds think alike!

I just watched this on the news, he did murder him with that final dose of that anesthetic.

just to many drugs he gave him!

It has to be tough when one is always begging for more.

It would seem clear he was given to many different drug that day and the last one Propofol was the one that caused his death.

Timeline of drug give the MJ the day of his death.

-- At about 1:30 a.m., Murray gave Jackson 10 mg of Valium.

-- At about 2 a.m., he injected Jackson with 2 mg of the anti-anxiety drug Ativan.

-- At about 3 a.m., Murray then administered 2 mg of the sedative Versed.

-- At about 5 a.m., he administered another 2 mg of Ativan.

-- At about 7:30 a.m., Murray gave Jackson yet another 2 mg of Versed while monitoring him with a device that measured the oxygen saturation of his blood.

-- At about 10:40 a.m., "after repeated demands/requests from Jackson," Murray administered 25 mg of propofol, the document said.

I wonder how I would felt is someone kept bugging and bugging me.



It wasn`t done on purpose........just Michael kept begging and begging.........



all drugs combined........yup......just way to many.

OMG.. that many drugs would kill a Rhino let alone a human..even before the Propofol. The Dr. should have know this! So what if the patient begs. Enough is enough!

he was already addicted to many different kinds drugs and that was his own fault.



what a druggie he became and he was going to perform like that, I don`t think so.



he would have died sooner or later anyway with all that crap in him.

but an anesthetic.

Just goes to show what money, and lots of it, can get you these days. Some people, including Dr.s will do anything you want for the almighty dollar. :-5
