Hi my name is Zee jie from class 1N1. I am going to talk about “How Michael Jackson died”. It is a pity that he has a great talent of dancing and singing but he died at an early age at only 51.From my research, I found out that he died because of overdosed on drugs...
Dr. Conrad Murray, personal physician for Michael Jackson, is shown in this undated publicity photograph released to Reuters August 18, 2009. The coroner investigation into Jackson's death found he had lethal levels of the powerful anesthetic propofol in his body, and Murray told detectives he gave Jackson the drug to treat insomnia, He said he had given him the medication in the past, but was trying to wean him off of the drug, fearing that he was developing an addiction. Murray said he gave Jackson a series of medications over the course of that night because the singer could not sleep. According to court documents, Jackson repeatedly demanded the propofol, which he referred to as his "milk," and Murray finally agreed. Murray told investigators he left Jackson for about two minutes to go to the bathroom, and when he returned, he found Jackson not breathing. Investigators are trying to determine if charges are warranted against Murray or other doctors who may have prescribed or administered the medication, which is usually used only in hospitals during surgery. Murray's home in Las Vegas and offices in Nevada and Houston have all been searched in recent weeks by Los Angeles police and federal agents. Previous court filings from those searches indicated that investigators were conducting a manslaughter investigation. Murray has denied any wrongdoing, saying he did not administer any medications that should have led to the singer's death. Murray's attorney, Edward Chernoff, issued a statement on Friday, saying the coroner's announcement is "nothing new," and questioned why any announcement was made while the autopsy remained sealed. "In any case, this has all the earmarks of police gamesmanship, and we will not be responding until we get a full autopsy report, including the entire list of drugs found in Mr. Jackson, their quantities and all other data that would allow independent medical experts to analyze and interpret." Meanwhile, Jackson's family issued a statement, saying : "The Jackson family again wishes to commend the actions of the coroner, the LAPD and other law enforcement agencies, and looks forward to the day that justice can be served." http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2009-08/29/content_11961450.htm i will end my post here..hope u enjoy ! xD
