Jackson died 10 years ago at his Los Angeles home after receiving a lethal dose of the drug intended for use only during surgery and other medical procedures — not for insomnia.
As Jackson rehearsed for his comeback tour, he struggled to sleep. Murray, who maintains his innocence, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in It acts fast, in about 40 seconds, and wears off quickly too.
Patients wake up with no hangover or nausea. An early version caused allergic reactions. Klein was never charged or disciplined for his treatment of Jackson, but Murray's lawyers contend that treatment addicted Jackson to Demerol and caused the insomnia that Murray was treating when Jackson died.
Murray claimed the day Jackson died he was trying to wean Jackson from using the surgical anesthetic propofol to induce sleep, a treatment he gave him almost every night the previous two months. Murray told detectives that during the last morning he gave Jackson a series of three sedatives -- Valium, lorazepam and midazolam -- over a hour period before finally giving in to Jackson's plea to again use propofol.
Conrad," Murray said Jackson pleaded to him. I must be ready for the show in England. Tomorrow I will have to cancel my performance, because you know I cannot function if I don't get to sleep.
Kamangar said the combination of drugs Murray gave Jackson "was the perfect storm" that killed him. Jackson was receiving very inappropriate therapy, in the home setting, receiving very potent sedatives, including propofol, lorazepam and midazolam, without monitoring by Murray, and ultimately this cocktail was a recipe for disaster," Kamangar said.

For example, Valium and its cousins: In very, very high doses, someone could sleep, but you have to give lots of it, and it works very slowly to cause sleep. Drugs in the Valium class and painkillers have a reversing agent that's commercially available. There's no reversing agent for propofol. The coroner's reports from Michael Jackson's autopsy also found evidence that he was on other drugs at the time he died, including lidocaine, lorazepam and diazepam.
Is it possible Jackson's death was due to a reaction from these drugs or do you think propofol alone could have killed him?
There's quite a sufficient answer just with this drug alone. But as with any other intoxicant, when you've taken any other drug, they all add up—and propofol is no different. The fact that there's no reversing agent, and the ability to pull someone out of it—which we call rescuing—requires considerable professional training.
This is not a sleeping aid. This is a general anesthetic drug. Everyone has been saying, "Michael Jackson wanted to be asleep. With this drug in unskilled hands, this sleep was permanent. It induces general anesthesia, which is not like a night's sleep. Already a subscriber?
