AUTOPSY: MICHAEL JACKSON’S LAST HOURS. Transcript of the false show on British TV
Friends, below is the transcript of the false autopsy show from British TV on which Susannerb and me have painstakingly worked for the past few days.
I added to the transcript the description of background pictures to give you a better idea of what it’s like. Almost every sentence here requires a comment but I’ve tried to limit myself to a complete minimum which is still a lot, I’m afraid.
The comments come in the form of side notes. The notes for the second part of the transcript will be added later as the potential for them is infinite and I am struggling to choose.
Dr.Richard Shepherd is not as bad as the other participants but there are a couple of questions to him too.
At the end of the text there is a link to the video in case the transcript hasn’t been enough for you.
Part I
00:00 TV announcers: The singer Michael Jackson is reported to have died from a heart attack. …to the USLA medical center but it appears it was too late… Apparently suffered… He arrived in hospital in a deep coma and died….

0:34 Reporter: The sidewalk just outside the hospital quickly became a strange mix of grieving for a loss and celebrating a unique brand of music.
[pictures of a fan crying and other fans dancing]
0:40 Narrator: His sudden and unexplained death sparks a police investigation that questions every detail of his passing.
[pictures of three pill bottles in the bathroom, propofol and saline bag, a bottle on the bedroom floor, three pill bottles and a syringe (without a needle) on a bedside table]
0:49 Police officer: Robbery/ homicide was assigned to this because of a high profound nature of it.
[picture of a helicopter flying]
Narrator: But it is his lifeless body that reveals the most telling answers.
Reporter: It was unceremoniously loaded in a van and driven to the LA County Coroner’s office.
Narrator: His corpse was pored over by a team of medical experts.
[the camera shows scissors cutting the skin]
Jermaine Jackson: He is believed to have suffered a cardiac arrest in his home. However the cause of his death is unknown until results of the autopsy are known.

1:25 AUTOPSY: The last hours of Michael Jackson [a break for a commercial]
1:30 Narrator: World-renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Richard Shepherd has been performing high-profile autopsies for more than 25 years.
[Dr. Richard Shepherd walks into a darkened room with a notepad in his hands and leans over a synthetic cadaver]
Narrator: He was the expert witness at inquests into the deaths of Princess Diana, Jill Dando and victims of the 9/11 attacks
[Dr. Shepherd uses a knife on the body and places some tissue into a glass].
1:51 Dr. Shepherd: The fascinating thing about an autopsy is that it doesn’t just tell you how a person died. It can tell you even more – about how they lived. And it is non-judgmental. It is a scientific acquisition of facts. And the fact that the individual is a celebrity makes no difference at all.
[picture of MJ’s naked body with tags on his legs and hand]
Dr. Shepherd: There are no celebrities on the mortuary slab.
2:18 Narrator: Now Richard Shepherd will forensically unpick Jackson’s autopsy and piece together what happened in the final hours of his life.
[Dr. Shepherd is making notes in a pad]
2:30 Dr. Shepherd: This is a coroner’s report into the death of Michael Jackson [shows the autopsy papers]. These hard, cold medical facts tell us who he was and what he was doing. More than that they give a timeline of the events leading up to his death.
2:45 [the caption shows time 11:30 a.m. June 24th]
Narrator: June 24th 2009. Jackson is renting a mansion in Beverly Hills. In just nineteen days time he will embark on a sell-out fifty date residency tour at London’s O2 arena.
[the MJ actor is shown waking up in his bed]
2:59 [photo of Michael as a child]
Narrator: Forty years previously Michael Jackson had burst onto the music scene [photo of Jackson 5]. As the lead singer of the Jackson 5 he was propelled into international mega stardom.
3:15 Terry Harvey, music promoter [with a cigar in his hands]: Michael Jackson, the King of Pop. He was the king of entertainment.
[the video of MJ arriving for his last public performance at World Music Awards in London in 2006]
Terry Harvey: He did things that no one else could do. He was untouchable.
3:25 [photo of MJ in the Thriller era]
Narrator: Jackson was the most successful entertainer the world had ever seen [picture with Quincy Jones].
Narrator: Combined song and concert netted him an estimated $750 million dollars.
[picture of an article headlined 35M $ilence. Report says molesting 24 kids cost Jackson a mint. ‘FBI’files dated to ’89’ not given to prosecutors’].
Narrator: But by 2009 his personal fortune had all but gone.[the camera is slowly moving from left to right reading the headline]
Narrator: High profile court cases and reckless spending had left him on the brink of bankruptcy.
[the camera stops on the word $ilence]
3:44 Caption on the screen: Jackson’s mansion Beverly Hills 10 am June 19th 2009
[the camera shows the MJ actor in bed and the Murray actor in an armchair]
3:50 James Desborough, showbiz journalist:Michael Jackson had essentially been a recluse for 12 years, not touring, not really having any huge record releases like his past. He was around $400 million in debt. He also had over 30 lawsuits lined up against him.
4:15 Narrator: For Jackson there was only one way out.
[‘Murray’ is shown placing two pills into ‘MJ’s palm and him swallowing the pills].
Narrator: To ease his debt he must perform a grueling schedule of concerts in London. And to ensure his health and fitness he is depending on his personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray. But Jackson would never make an opening night.
[The caring ‘Murray’ is shown putting overalls on ‘MJ’].
4:45 Dr. Shepherd: If you look at the autopsy the first thing we see is the male of approximately 50 years. There are no significant injuries but there are some grazes and abrasions to the center of the chest.
[he shows the photo of MJ’s naked body with an abrasion on his chest]
Dr. Shepherd: I don’t think these are significant as the cause of his death, but we do know that he had quite a prolonged and extensive resuscitation [photo of MJ’s naked body] and these injuries are typical of this type of resuscitation.
[the photo of MJ with a close up on the lower part of his naked body, followed by the picture of MJ “dangling” his baby son from the hotel balcony]
5: 06 Narrator: Jackson’s life was dogged with moments that were both controversial and bizarre. And the secrets revealed by his autopsy report are no different.
[the camera shows snatches from the autopsy report]
Dr. Shepherd: The autopsy report states that he is black and that is of course correct, but if you look to the body objectively not knowing that it is Michael Jackson it wouldn’t be that clear cut.
[the camera is going over the white skin of the MJ actor]
5:31 James Desborough: Millions of column inches have been devoted to the subject of Michael’s skin. Was he black? Was he turning white? Was he turning himself white? These are the questions that everyone wanted to know.
5:45 Caption – Oprah Winfrey show February 10th 1993
Oprah Winfrey: The color of your skin is obviously different than it was when you were younger.
Michael: Yes.
5:50 Narrator: Jackson tried to quash the rumors in a TV interview, but the manner of his answers and his body language made few believe him.
Oprah Winfrey: What have you done or are doing? Are you bleaching your skin? Is your skin lighter because you don’t like to be black?
Michael: I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of the skin. It’s something that I cannot help, okay? People make up stories that I don’t like to be who I am and it hurts me.
6:18 Dr. Shepherd: You can see from the autopsy that just as Jackson maintained he did have a skin condition. In the darker areas there are lighter blotches and it appears in these lighter blotches the skin stopped producing pigment.
[the animation shows how melanocite cells producing Melanin change the color of skin]
Narrator: Cells called melanocites produce a dark pigment Melanin that colors the skin, but these cells are absent in the autopsy.
Dr. Shepherd: And without it the skin is pale. That explains Jackson’s appearance and is consistent with the disease called Vitiligo.
6:50 Narrator: So Jackson did have a skin disease but doubt still remained about all the claims he made in the interview.
[the camera moves over the MJ actor’s white body]
Oprah Winfrey: I just want to get this straight. You are not taking anything to change the color of your skin?
Michael: Oh God, no. We are trying to control it and using make-up evening it out because it makes blotches on the skin. I have to even out my skin.
[the camera shows the label of the Benoquin 20% cream admitted as evidence at Murray’s trial]
7:11 Narrator: But evidence found at the crime scene shows this wasn’t true.
[photo of an invoice from Applied Pharmacies for shipping 20 pcs of Benoquin cream]
Narrator: Jackson spent a large amount of money on the skin bleaching drug called Benoquin.
[the Murray actor is shown rubbing the cream into the white arms of ‘MJ’]
7:23 James Disborough: It turns out that Michael had been getting treatment for his Vitiligo from a doctor called Arnold Klein for about 25 years.
[picture of MJ, Klein and Liz Taylor]
Narrator: Based in Beverly Hills Klein was the dermatologist to the stars. His other clients included Elizabeth Taylor, Carrie Fisher and Sharon Stone.
[picture of all three of them]
7:45 Narrator: Klein recommended this lotion to Jackson when they first met. It prevents dark pigment being made in areas unaffected by vitiligo. For half of his life Jackson had been bleaching his skin.
[‘Murray’ in latex gloves is spreading Benoquin cream over the abdomen, shoulders and arms of the MJ actor]
Narrator: The King of Pop was fixated with his appearance.
Dr. Shepherd: There were several scars on his face and neck that are typical of previous plastic surgery. The nose is an extensive site of modification. It’s caved in on one side and the bridge is entirely missing.
8:17 Narrator: Jackson would become addicted to plastic surgery.
Narrator: And this all-consuming obsession can be traced back to a single catastrophic event.
8:36 Caption on the screen: AUTOPSY: The last hours of Michael Jackson [a break for a commercial]
8:41 Narrator: On June 25th 2009 pop megastar Michael Jackson died suddenly in Los Angeles. The world was shocked by his passing asking why the King of Pop died at just 50 years of age.
[photo of MJ’s dead body on a gurney is followed by a close up on Michael’s face]
8:59 Narrator: Now leading forensic pathologist Dr. Shepherd is investigating Jackson’s autopsy and uncovering secrets hidden in Jackson’s life.
[Dr. Shepherd is looking at an X-ray in a darkened room and writing something on an autopsy report]
9:11 Dr. Shepherd: There were several scars on his face and neck that are typical of previous plastic surgery. And he had a cleft inserted into his chin which would certainly have changed his appearance.
[picture of smiling MJ with a cleft in his chin]
9:23 Dr. Shepherd: The nose is an extensive site of modification.
[the blurred scene of the MJ actor applying something to his nose]Dr. Shepherd: It’s caved in on one side and the bridge is entirely missing. And this is one of the signs of extensive plastic surgery.
9:36 James Desborough: His brothers used to tease him about the size of his nose calling him “Big nose”.
[photos of MJ as a child and of Jackson 5]
It really left an emotional scar on him. And the minute he found out about plastic surgery he began to have work on his nose.
9:49 Narrator: Over the years Jackson visited the surgeons’ table again and again – changing not only his nose but almost his entire face.
[the picture of young Marlon Jackson is compared with the photos of MJ after his nose surgery]
Narrator: In the press he became known as Wacko Jacko. It was public property. But the autopsy reveals he did manage to keep one secret from the media for 25 years.
[Dr. Shepherd is looking at an X-ray and writes something in a note pad]
10:13 Dr. Shepherd: Jackson’s hair is not his own. He is wearing a wig. It is held on by semi-permanent glue and there are some sparse areas of his own hair on the side and back of his head.
[the MJ actor is shown with a bottle of glue and a brush in his hand]
Narrator: Other than these patches the King of Pop was almost entirely bald.
[the blurred picture of the MJ actor applying glue to his forehead]
Narrator: Despite being a tabloid target he had kept this hidden for a quarter of a century.
10:38 Dr. Shepherd: His scalp reveals reason for his baldness.
[the autopsy drawing shows scars on the back of MJ’s head]Dr. Shepherd: There’s an area of scarring on the top and back of his head. And this scarring is consistent with the burn.
10:50 The caption on the screen dates MJ’s Pepsi burn as January 27, 1984.
[the full video of the accident is shown]
10:51 Narrator: In 1984 Jackson was at the height of his powers. His album Thriller had become the biggest selling album of all time. Filming a Pepsi commercial with his brothers would mark the start of his decline, when a pyrotechnic device set fire to his hair. He suffered severe second and third-degree burns to his scalp which left him needing to wear wigs for the rest of his life.
11:26 Ian Halperin Author, Unmasked, the Final Years of Micheal (sic) Jackson:
Michael never recovered from that. The Pepsi incident changed Michael’s career forever. Michael became extremely self-conscious about his appearance. He became extremely paranoid about the people around him. He felt damaged, he felt hurt, he felt betrayed.
[a blurred video of ‘MJ’ putting his jacket and a dark cloak on]
11:51 Narrator: The accident also triggered a habit that eventually claimed his life. Recovering from his injuries he became hooked on painkillers. These were gateway drugs that led to multiple drug addictions.
[a blurred picture of ‘MJ’ shaking something from a vial of pills into his palm and swallowing it]
12:08 Emma Kenny, counselor & psychologist: A gateway drug is something you can buy over the counter. And because it is so hugely available it means that people who may be susceptible to wanting to having harder drugs can get involved in that process. So you may start on Paracetamol and then you may lead up until much more dangerous drugs.
12:28 Narrator: Over the years Jackson also became dependent on sedatives, alcohol, anti-anxiety drugs and even morphine.
[several pictures of MJ with fans screaming in the background]
12:40 Narrator: Without prescription drugs he could not function, sing, dance or perform.
[MJ speaks at a press-conference on March 5, 2009]
Michael Jackson at the press-conference: I love you. I really do. You have to know that.
Narrator: Six months before his death Michael Jackson announced a punishing schedule of 50 concerts.
Michael Jackson: I’ll be performing the songs my fans want to hear. This is it. I mean this is really it. This is the final – this is the final curtain call.
13:15 James Desborough: Before rehearsals began Michael Jackson was telling everyone how excited he was about coming out and reclaiming his crown as the King of Pop, and also showing his kids what he could do on the global stage.
13:34 Narrator: But behind closed doors the promoters AEG were concerned that Jackson wasn’t up to performing his trademark high-energy routines.
[the blurred picture of ‘MJ’ sitting in a car and swallowing a pill]
13:45 Narrator: They began to question health scares published by the press.
[snatches from some emails say: urgent attention… hospitalized…cancer… bleeding…anorexia].
Narrator: His personal doctor Conrad Murray assured them that apart from his insomnia Jackson was in good physical condition.
[the camera shows an excerpt from Murray’s medical records of August, 2008 with words “insomnia” and “great health” singled out. The text said:
“Patient complains of insomnia and difficulty to sleep. He has no evidence of mood changes or signs of depression. He is otherwise doing quite well and at this time is in great health.
Plan: 1) Restoril 30mg I po hs PRN 2) Follow-up as needed. Conrad R. Murray M.D.]
13:59 Narrator: But not everyone was so convinced.
[the camera shows the gargantuan Terry Harvey with a cigar sitting in a car]
Terry Harvey: Ha-ha-ha.
Narrator: Terry Harvey is a music promoter with close links to the Jackson family.
14:11 Terry Harvey: How fit would someone have to be to perform for 2,5 hours in good shape? Do I think Michael didn’t have the energy and stamina for fifty nights? He didn’t have the stamina to do 30 minutes.
[the MJ actor is shown walking in a dark cloak in the corridor of an O2 arena]
14:29 Ian Halperin: Michael knew deep down – there was no way he’d be able to perform 50 shows.
[blurred picture of ‘MJ’ walking in a dark cloak]
Ian Halperin: Michael told people close to him – he didn’t know he could do two shows.
14:43 Narrator: So what was the truth about Jackson’s fitness? Was he really up to the tour?
14:50 Dr. Shepherd [with the autopsy report in his hands]:
The report says he is 136 pounds in weight and he is 5 foot 9 [inches] and he is tall which gives a BMI of 20,1 which is normal. So though he appears slightly thin he is within the acceptable range. You might expect some furring up of the arteries in a man aged fifty but Michael Jackson had no evidence of this. And his heart was in good condition too, so for a man of his age he was in good shape.
15:15 Narrator: Yet Jackson was clearly in trouble at rehearsals.
[the fragment of This is it rehearsal dated June 19th shows MJ doing Billy Jean. He is shown mostly walking]
Narrator: He was short of breath, stiff and unable to perform the routines he was famous for. In the autopsy Richard Shepherd has found a reason for Jackson’s lackluster performance.
15:34 Dr. Shepherd: Several X-rays were taken of Michael Jackson. They showed he had osteoarthritis in some of his fingers and his spine.
15:42 Narrator: The vertebrae in the spine are cushioned by areas of cartilage. In osteoarthritis the cartilage degenerates and the bones are left unprotected. This places pressure on the joint and in extreme circumstances the bones can grind together.
[the animation illustrates the process]
16:06 Dr. Shepherd: This is a condition that would cause him some pain and stiffness and might limit his movements.
16:12 Narrator: Osteoarthritis would explain why Jackson isn’t performing with his trademark sleekness
[a fragment from Billy Jean again]
16:19 Dr. Shepherd: It is a degenerative condition which would only get worse. And though it is not uncommon for a man of 50 it can be triggered by an injury.
16:28 Narrator: In 1999 Jackson did suffer an injury to his spine.
[a video of the accident MJ had when a bridge fell during a Munich concert]
Narrator: During a concert in Germany he plunged 50 feet into an orchestra pit. Although he carried on performing he collapsed in agony soon afterwards. Osteoarthritis could explain why he was struggling with movement. But it couldn’t explain why he was struggling to breathe.
17:12 Dr. Shepherd: His organs were in good condition for his age. The exception is his lungs and they were like a battlefield. The lining of the airway showed a lot of damage and both lungs showed wide-spread inflammation and quite extensive scarring. For Michael Jackson it would have made it hard of him to exert himself and he would have fatigued more easily, and that’s the question I would want to ask – What caused all this damage?
17:36 Narrator: A possible explanation is written all over Jackson’s face. In his mid 20s he developed a symmetrical red rash around his cheeks [photos of MJ of the Thriller era with a red rash on his face], a classic symptom of another rare skin disease – Discoid Lupus which causes hair to fall out anywhere on the body and can damage the lips.
17:59 [photo of dead MJ on the gurney with a close up on his face]
18:00 Dr. Shepherd: We can see from the autopsy that Jackson had dark tattoos on his eye-brows and there were tattoos on his eyelids like eyeliners. And he also got tattoos in pink around his lips.
[photo of dead MJ on the gurney with a close up on his face]
18:12 Narrator: Lupus would also explain Jackson’s habit of using umbrellas.
[photos of MJ with an umbrella]
Narrator: The disease leaves skin sensitive to sunlight. And it doesn’t only affect the skin. It can reek havoc across the whole body.
18:29 Dr. Shepherd: Lupus is an autoimmune disease. And these diseases occur when the body attacks part of itself.
[animation of white blood cells attacking foreign invaders in the body]
Narrator: White blood cells usually attack foreign invaders in the body.
[animation of white blood cells attacking lungs in lupus]
Narrator: But in lupus these cells strike at the body itself including the lungs – leaving them heavily damaged.
18:55 Dr. Shepherd: A chronic disease would have episodes of remission and recurrence. And the recurrence can be triggered off by a number of things – stress, exertion and lack of sleep.
19:05 Narrator: But is there an alternative explanation for Jackson’s lung damage?
[a picture of empty vials and a syringe on the screen]
19:12 Narrator: The 25 years and the increasingly unstable and drug-dependent Jackson had been visiting the clinic of dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein.
[picture of the clinic and the door opening to it]
According to those who worked there these visits had become less and less about his skin.
19:32 Jason Pfieffer, Dr. Klein’s former office-manager: He would be in the office a couple times a week and have very minor procedures done. When he got to the office I would take him in the back door and put him in the procedure room and at that point I go get Dr. Klein’s nurse Ellen and say “Michael is here and he wants a shot”.
[the MJ actor is rolling up his sleep for a shot in his arm]
19:53 Narrator: On every visit he would receive at least one injection. The syringe was full of Demerol, a powerful medical version of Heroin.
[the nurse is shown making an injection]
20:07 Jason Pfieffer: Usually the effects were pretty quick. He might pass out, he might be just tired, he might be loopy.
[the head of the MJ actor falls back on the sofa]
20:16 Narrator: And Jackson didn’t always come to see Dr. Klein alone.
20:20 Jason Pfeiffer: If he was with the kids it would be a little bit of a distraction for him. The kids would usually sit in Dr. Klein’s office. They’d be running and screaming and joking and I’d just say it would be a lot of fun until Michael got really out of it.
20:37 Narrator: As the tour approached Jackson’s requests for these injections became more and more frequent.
20:44 Jason Pfeiffer: He would come in and he would demand to see Dr. Klein quickly and he would want a shot of Demerol as quickly as possible and you could tell that there was something going on.
[an injection is being made into the arm of the actor]
20:56 Narrator: By taking the drug Jackson risked severe lung damage, addiction and even death.
[the photo of MJ’s dead body on a gurney with a close up on his face]
Narrator: But Demerol is not what killed Michael Jackson.
21:12 The caption – AUTOPSY: The last hours of Michael Jackson [a break for a commercial]
21:18 [Dr. Shepherd is shown looking at an X-ray]
Narrator: Leading forensic pathologist Richard Shepherd is investigating the final hours of Michael Jackson’s life.
[the photo of MJ’s dead body on a gurney with a close-up on his face]
21:29 Dr. Shepherd: The autopsy shows there are no significant injuries on the body and there is no evidence of any significant disease except in the lungs. And so we turn to the next stage. We look at the tell-tale chemical clues in the body – the toxicology report.
[the MJ actor is shown swallowing 2 pills in his bed]
21:44 Narrator: Jackson had well-publicized problems with prescription drugs.
[the MJ actor swallows pills in a car]
Narrator: He’d been in rehab several times and had admitted to addictions to painkillers.
[the MJ actor rolls up his sleeve for a shot]
Narrator: In 2009 he was also having frequent injections of Demerol, a pharmacological equivalent of Heroin.
[the nurse is giving a shot to the MJ actor in the arm]
And by early June Jackson was struggling at the rehearsals for his This is it tour.
22:13 Emma Kenny, counseller & psychologist: Demerol is an incredibly powerful drug. So if you would turn up at a rehearsal on it the reality is you would be disorientated, you’d be dizzy, you’d also struggle with your breath as it creates a shortage of breath. Now this is literally the opposite of what’s required when you are performing.
22:27 Narrator: But in just 19 days time Jackson was due to embark on his record-breaking 50-date residency in London.
[picture of an ad of This is it film]
22:37 James Desborough: Michael Jackson’s mind was not ready. Though publicly he was telling people: “Yes, I can do this” it was clear that by the way he was not turning up for rehearsals, ignoring important production meetings this man was not ready for the This is it comeback.
22:50 Narrator: The situation became so desperate that the tour’s producer Kenny Ortega [photo of smiling Kenny Ortega on the screen] sent an impassioned email to the promoters.23:00 Caption: Voice of Kenny Ortega [the words in bold type appear on the screen]:
My concern is he appeared quite weak and fatigued this evening. He had a terrible case of the chills , was trembling, rambling and obsessing. Everything in me says he should be psychologically evaluated. And I believe that he really wants this. It would shatter him, break his heart if we pulled the plug. He is terribly frightened .. It broke my heart. He was like a lost boy. There still may be a chance he can rise to the occasion if we get him the help he needs. Sincerely, Kenny
23:29 [MJ is going along the corridor in a dark cloak, the caption says it is June 24th 2009]
23:30 Narrator: The promoters issued Jackson an ultimatum – shape up or they will pull the plug. $400 million in debt, for Jackson this was not an option.
23:45 James Desborough: It was clear that this was about the money being on the line. For Michael – he didn’t have a choice. He had to be there or he’d lose his home, his kids would be homeless and he would be in financial ruin.
23:59 [footage of Billy Jean with a caption saying that it is June 19th 2009]
[At this point I can’t resist interrupting the transcript and posting a Youtube fragment of Billie Jean performed by Michael Jackson for This is it. Of course it was not on June 19th when Michael could not even go on the stage – it was at the beginning of June at the Forum stage. Michael is not dancing full-out as this is a rehearsal and not a show]
Part II
24:03 Narrator: As this footage shows five days earlier Jackson had been struggling at rehearsals. He seems sluggish and not in control of his body.
24:14 [footage of MJ performing on June 24th].
Narrator: But the effect of the promoters’ threat was stunning. His next performance was described as ‘electric’ by members of the production team. He was agile, lively and like the Michael Jackson of old.
24:35 James Desborough: Suddenly he makes a miraculous recovery. He gets on stage, he performs 30 to 40 minutes and he is dancing, he is singing and performing in a way which makes them a lot happier.
24:51 Narrator: So how did a 50-year old man with osteoarthritis, lupus, scarred lungs and an addiction to Demerol manage to turn it around?
[footage of This is it rehearsal on June 24th].
Narrator: The clue is lying in Jackson’s body. He gets another narcotic.
25:10 Dr. Shepherd [with the autopsy report in his hands]:
Extensive toxicological testing was performed on numerous samples taken from Jackson’s body. In the urine sample it was noted that a drug called ephedrine was present. Ephedrine is similar to the naturally occurring adrenalin in the body. And adrenalin is the hormone that prepares the body for fight or flight.
[the autopsy report showing traces of ephedrine is on the screen].
Dr. Shepherd: When Jackson took ephedrine it would have been to energize himself.
25:35 Narrator: Jackson had turned to yet another drug [photo of MJ’s house]. In his house police discovered tablets of ECA, a powerful stimulant made from caffeine, aspirin and ephedrine.
[picture of 3 pill bottles on MJ’s bedside. The narrator does not explain that it is Diazepam, Lorazepam and Flomax for the prostate]
Narrator: At high levels this drug can trigger a cardiac failure – the ultimate cause of Jackson’s death.
[picture of 3 pill bottles and a cream in the bathroom. No ECA again]
25:57 Dr. Shepherd: Because the ephedrine is present in his urine and not in his blood, it can’t be having an effect on Jackson’s body and so it can’t have contributed to his death.
26:05 Narrator: But the autopsy throws up a further narcotic surprise.
26:11 Dr. Shepherd: The toxicology analysis looked for but didn’t find Demerol and that shows that Jackson hadn’t been taking the drug for some time.
26:20 Narrator: Jackson made it through his make or break rehearsal by loading his body with stimulants and coming off the heroin-like drug Demerol.
[the MJ actor is shown in a car]
Narrator: But as he returned to his Carolwood mansion this strategy would have deadly repercussions. Because suddenly coming off Demerol is highly risky.
26:41 Emma Kenny: The effects of withdrawing from Demerol can be very, very difficult. In fact to try to do it on your own is downright dangerous. You have issues such as fever, you feel a sense of cold turkey and irksome pains. And one of the biggest side-effects is insomnia.
26:59 Narrator: Jackson had been plagued by the sleeping disorder throughout his adult life.
[the MJ actor is shown in the dark of a car on his way home]
Narrator: Now he is full of stimulants and in withdrawal from Demerol. But his doctor Conrad Murray had no idea Jackson had been taking this drug, let alone that he had suddenly stopped.
[the Murray actor is dialing a number on his phone]
Narrator: Michael Jackson hid his drug habits well.
27:23 Ed Winter, Assistant Chief L.A. Coroner Department: When at the location connecting one of several searches we located a number of number of bottles of prescription medication, not only in Mr. Jackson’s name but in four or five aliases.
[photo of Lorazepam and Diazepam prescribed by Murray, and some drug prescribed in the name of Omar Arnold].
27:38 Narrator: Although the majority of these drugs were prescribed by Murray [picture of the autopsy report with Murray’s name stated for a series of benzos] some were recorded with other doctors [picture of another page stating the names of Klein and Nurse Lee].
27:49 Terry Harvey [smiling and making dance moves]: … he was devious and the king of manipulation. He was the puppet master. He can tell you what you want to hear and look like it is real and guess what? You go – it’s okay, it’s all right, come on, let’s go.
28:02 [the Murray actor is making the bed for the MJ actor and is preparing a saline bag on the IV stand]
Narrator: And Murray was right for manipulation. Like Jackson he was deep in debt. As the London tour didn’t go ahead he too would be financially ruined.
28:16 Narrator: One of his roles was to ensure Jackson could sleep, but the autopsy report suggests this would be problematic.
[the Murray actor is placing a protective pad on the bed]
28:26 Dr. Shepherd: He does have an enlarged prostate which is not at all unusual for a 50 year old man. And this might mean he had some difficulty in urination. It might mean he has to go to the toilet more often.
28:36 Ed Winter: Michael had a condom catheter that he used during his sleep time so that he didn’t have to wake up or be woken up to go and use the bathroom.
[‘Murray’ is taking off ‘MJ’’s overalls. ‘MJ’ gets into bed in his shorts]
28:53 Narrator: But Murray’s master plan to get Jackson to sleep also had a more sinister pharmaceutical element.
[‘Murray’ is shown attaching something to ‘MJ’s knee]
29:00 Dr. Shepherd: The drug that stands out in the toxicology report is Propofol. Propofol is an anesthetic agent which is normally only used in operating theatres and in intensive care units. It’s a very powerful drug. Due to its appearance and its effects it is sometimes known as “milk of amnesia”.
29:17 Narrator: Jackson had been using Propofol as a sleep aid for nearly a decade.
29:21 Ian Halperin: In early 2000 he was in a hospital. One time they administered Michael propofol and he said he really liked the drug and became dependent on it and would get doctors to administer it to him.
29:41 Narrator: Over the years this dependency escalated.
29:47 Jason Pfeiffer: He called me up one Sunday night and said “Mr. Jason, I need an anesthesiologist”. And I said: “What do you need an anesthesiologist for, Michael?” And he said: “Well, I’ve got a media spot in the morning and I need to be fresh for him”. And I said: “This is crazy.” I said, “I don’t understand.” Never in my life had I heard a thing like this. Ever. I was just flabbergasted.
30:06 Narrator: By June 2009 Conrad Murray was feeding Jackson’s Propofol addiction in the star’s own house [‘Murray’ is shown drawing it into a syringe]. For Jackson it was the ideal drug.
30:20 Shepard: Propofol is a very useful drug as you get asleep quickly and and you wake up cleanly with no hangover. But the line between risk and use can be very narrow. And too much drug can cause fatalities.
30:33 Narrator: Murray has been giving Jackson Propofol for 60 nights in a row. But aware of the promoter’s ultimatum he has decided to wean Jackson off the drug. For the last 2 nights he sent Jackson off to sleep using drugs called benzodiazepines instead. And he administered them in an unusual way.
[the blurred image of ‘Murray’ doing something to ‘MJ’s knee]
30:58 Dr. Shepherd: The autopsy report shows an intravenous injection site below the knee. This is a very rare site for any medical resuscitation treatment, but it’s a common site for intravenous drug abuse. Unlike the arms, an injection site on the knees is hidden away and keeps the drug abuse secret.
31:17 Emma Kenny: When you are actually in the press you have to consider the fact that people are watching you all the time, you’re being observed, and your profile is very important to you. So it is not actually unusual for people to inject in areas like the penis, the groin, under the toenails for example, anything that would distract people around them from seeing that they had an issue.
[blurred image of ‘Murray’ handling ‘MJ’’s knee]
Emma Kenny: The reality is that this is just such a sad thing to say because we know that the user is aware of that problems and aware that they don’t want other people to know about them. It means that the user recognizes that they have an issue. They just don’t want to share that issue.
31:53 [Caption on the screen – 1:30 am June 25th]
Narrator: At 1:30 a.m. on the 25th of June, 2009, Conrad Murray gives Jackson a tablet he hopes will help him sleep.
32:00 Dr. Shepherd: There is Valium in the system. Valium is a benzodiazepine drug which is used to treat anxiety, but commonly causes some sedation. It is an addictive drug and long-term use can lead to physical dependence.
32:20 [Caption on the screen – 2:00 am June 25th]
Narrator: But 30 minutes later Jackson is still awake. Murray turns to a faster acting benzodiazepine sedative – Lorazepam.
[‘Murray’ is shown drawing Lorazepam into a syringe and injecting it into a saline bag] (!)
32:41 [Caption on the screen – 3:00 am June 25th]
Narrator: After an hour Jackson still hasn’t fallen asleep, so Murray tries a third benzodiazepine – Midazolam.
32:54 Dr. Shepherd: It may be a little unusual to find 3 different types of benzodiazepine at the same time. But it seems likely if the intent is to get someone to sleep that one would start with a long-acting Valium type drug, move to the medium-acting Lorazepam and then finally have to try the very short-acting Midazolam. So in this situation it does make sense.
33:25 Narrator: Throughout the early hours Murray gives Jackson more and more benzodiazepines.
[‘Murray’ is shown drawing them into a syringe].
33:28 [Caption on the screen – 3:00 am June 25th]
33:33 Narrator: But they have no effect.
[‘Murray’ has a caring look on his face. He is shown walking about, thinking. Symphonic music is accompanying the scene].
33:48 Narrator: By 10 a.m. a desperate Jackson asks for his drug of choice – his milk. He wants Propofol [The MJ actor says: “My milk”].
Narrator: He wants Propofol. But Murray resists. [The MJ actor says: “My milk”]. Jackson protests, he can’t function without sleep and will have to cancel the concerts.
34:25 Narrator: At 10:50 a.m. Conrad Murray finally relents and prepares a dose of Propofol.
[‘Murray’ is shown drawing Propofol into a syringe]
Narrator: As this drug burns when it enters the body, Murray adds a local anesthetic – Lidocaine – to numb the pain.
33:42 [Caption on the screen – 10:50am June 25th]
Narrator: Jackson is unconscious at last.
34:57 [Caption on the screen – 11:05am June 25th]
Narrator: 15 minutes later Conrad Murray reenters the singer’s bedroom.[‘Murray’ is shown entering the room talking on the phone. He comes up to ‘Michael’s bed and shakes ‘MJ’ by the shoulder with a telephone in his hand]:
“Michael! Michael! Michael!”
35:16 Narrator: Jackson is not breathing. But Murray thinks he can feel a pulse.
[‘Murray’ yells: “Michael!” He does CPR on the bed and looks frantic].
35:34 Narrator: He searches for Flumazenil, a drug that reverses the effects of benzodiazepines. But there is no antidote for Propofol.
[The camera shows ‘Murray’ drawing something into a syringe and injecting it into some spot, and then shaking the body with his both hands and yelling “Michael! Michael!” Then he runs out of the room]
35:55 Caption on the screen: AUTOPSY: The last hours of Michael Jackson [a break for a commercial]
36:00 [With a telephone in his hand ‘Murray’ shakes ‘MJ’ by the shoulder and starts making CPR on the bed].
[He yells]: “Michael! Michael! Michael!”
36:12 Caption on the screen – 11:05am June 25th
Narrator: At 11:05 a.m. on the 25th of June 2009 Michael Jackson is found unconscious and not breathing.
[‘Murray’ is shown pressing the chest and yelling “Michael”!]
Narrator: But his personal physician Conrad Murray can feel a pulse.
[‘Murray’ continues to press the chest on the bed and yell: “Michael! Michael!”. He runs out of the room]
36:36 Caption on the screen: Emergency call to LA 911
36:40 [‘Murray’ and a ‘bodyguard’ with a telephone in his hand are running back into the room. The ‘bodyguard’ is talking to a 911 operator. ‘Murray’ is doing CPR on the bed. The tape of the real call is being played].
Alvarez: Sir, we have a gentleman here that needs help. He’s stopped breathing, he’s not breathing and we are trying to pump him, but he’s not, he’s not…
Operator: Ok ok, how old is he?
Alvarez: He’s 50 years old, sir.
Operator: Ok. He’s not conscious, he’s not breathing?
Alvarez: Yes, he’s not breathing sir.
Operator: And he’s not conscious either?
Alvarez: No, he’s not conscious sir.
Operator: Ok. Alright, is he on the floor, where’s he at right now?
Alvarez: He’s on the bed sir, he’s on the bed.
Operator: Ok let’s get him on the floor.
[‘Murray’ is giving a sign to the ‘bodyguard’ to move him to the floor]
Alvarez: Ok.
Operator: Ok let’s get him down to the floor. I’m gonna help you with CPR right now, OK.
Alvarez: We need him… we need a…
Operator: Yes, we’re already on our way there. We’re on our way. I’m gonna do as far as I can to help you over the phone. We’re already on our way. Did anybody see him?
Alvarez: Yes we have a personal doctor here with him, sir.
Operator: Oh you have a doctor there?
Alvarez: Yes. But he’s not responding to anything to no… no… he’s not responding to the CPR or anything.
Operator: Ok. Ok. They’re on their way.
37:40 Narrator: By the time the paramedics arrive, Murray can no longer detect a pulse.
[The paramedics come in moving somewhat slowly, open their bag, take an oxygen mask and lean over the body. ‘Murray’ looks flushed and frustrated. It seems that it’s him who hurries up the others:] “Come on! Come on!”
38:06 Narrator:Jackson’s body is rushed to hospital, but it’s too late.
[the photo of MJ’s dead body on a gurney with a camera close-up on the face]
38:14 Dr. Shepherd: At 14:26 on June 25th 2009 Michael Joseph Jackson was declared dead at the UCLA MedicalCenter, Los Angeles.
[the photo of MJ’s dead body on a gurney continues to be shown]
38:27 Dr. Shepherd [reading from the report]: The autopsy report concludes that his cause of death was acute Propofol intoxication with a contributory factor in the death being benzodiazepines.
38:40 Narrator: Once in the bloodstream both these drugs spread around the body. When they reach the lungs they have a profound effect. They slow the rate the lungs inflate and deflate, so critically decreasing their ability to oxygenate the body.
[animation of lungs stopping to breathe is shown]
39:04 Dr. Shepherd: And you’ve got to remember that Jackson had really bad lungs. And these things combined of course the oxygen in his bloodstream to get to such a low level that his heart and his brain have stopped working, and he has died.
39:15 Narrator: Two months after his death the autopsy results were announced.
[a page of an autopsy report is on the screen]
A TV announcer: “The L.A. County Coroner has ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide.”
39:26 Narrator: The prime suspect was Dr. Conrad Murray.
[the camera shows a page of the autopsy report with the word “homicide” on it. This is followed by a video of MJ’s fans protesting at a court house]
39:32 Narrator: He was tried for involuntary manslaughter. At the trial the smoking gun was Propofol.
[a picture of Dr. Shafer testifying at the trial]
39:40 Dr. Shepherd: Conrad Murray states that he gave Jackson 25 mg of Propofol at 10:40 a.m. (But) the toxicology report shows there was far more than that in Jackson’s bloodstream when he died. So the question remains: How are we going to explain this discrepancy?
39:57 Narrator: In court Murray claimed that this anomaly was not of his doing [picture of prosecutor Walgren talking]. He suggested it was all down to the other person in the room – Jackson himself.
40:08 [the MJ actor is shown getting out of bed, grabbing a propofol bottle near by and taking something into his hand to open it].
Chernoff: When Dr. Murray left the room, Michael Jackson self-administered a dose, an additional dose of Propofol, and it killed him. And it killed him like that, and there was no way to save him.
40:28: [the MJ actor is shown injecting propofol by a syringe into the upper part of the IV set up and falling back unconscious]
Narrator: But the prosecution had a different version of events. A version that implicated Murray as guilty.
Walgren: Conrad Murray’s actions directly caused the death of Michael Jackson.
40:48 Narrator: They claimed Murray had coupled together a system that kept Jackson continually topped up with Propofol whilst he slept.
[‘Murray’ is shown cutting off the top of a saline bag with a kitchen knife]
40:58 Narrator: Murray cut into the lid of a bottle of the drug.
[‘Murray’ is shown making a hole in the lid of a Propofol vial again with a knife].
41:04 Narrator: Once in the saline bag, the Propofol could then infuse constantly into Jackson’s bloodstream.
[‘Murray’ is shown putting the pierced propofol bottle into a bag with saline in it]
41:15 [the drawing of a makeshift IV set up shows a saline bag on the top, a long tubing and a port on its side for injections by syringes]
Narrator: Normally, saline coming down from the bag mixes with drugs injected at a port and washes them into the body.
[an animation shows saline going from the top and propofol being injected into the port on the right ]
41:26 Narrator: The prosecution maintained the drug was already mixed with the saline.
the animation shows saline and propofol streaming together from the top]
41:30 Narrator: So there should be traces of Propofol in the tube above the injection port.
[the top part of the tube where propofol was supposed to be found is marked yellow]
41:37 Narrator: Despite testing, traces of the drug were never detected.
[flashes of several pictures of MJ’s room and the evidence, followed by the picture of MJ’s fans protesting near the court house]
41:44 Narrator: Yet this didn’t sway the jury.
Judge Pastor: “I’m advised that the jury has reached a verdict.”
The courthouse clerk: “We the jury…. find the defendant Conrad Murray guilty of the crime of involuntary manslaugher” [MJ fans are cheering. One woman is shown saying: “Burn in hell”]
42:12 Narrator: The autopsy supports the court’s verdict. Conrad Murray failed in his duty as a doctor.
[MJ fans shouting ”Guilty, guilty!”. An excerpt from the autopsy report says: The standard of care for administering propofol was not met]
42:20 Dr. Shepherd: Propofol is a very powerful anesthetic. There is a very fine line between its proper effects and causing death. In hospital an anesthesiologist would have the patient attached to numerous machines which would monitor pulse and blood pressure, carbon dioxide levels and oxygen levels.
42:25 Narrator: But investigators found no evidence of any medical monitors in the mansion.
[the picture of MJ’s bathroom is shown]
Murray was sentenced to 4 years in prison for killing the King of Pop.
42:53 [picture of Michael closing the camera with his palm and pointing a finger at it]
Narrator: In a 40 year career Jackson had established himself as the most successful act of all time. But his success had long been underpinned by reliance on prescription drugs.
43:06 Jason Pfeiffer: It’s such a tragedy seeing him go from this huge larger than life figure down this road of drug dependency.
[fragment of MJ speaking at a press-conference in London]
Jason Pfeiffer: These drugs had turned him into just a shell of his former self.
43:20 James Desborough: He didn’t have a choice. He was around 400 million dollars in debt.
[the 2006 video footage of MJ at the World Music Awards talking to fans]
James Desborogh: “This is it” was this is it. It was his make or break comeback.
43:32 Terry Harvey: He was on a path of destruction.
[the video of MJ’s coffin carried by a car]
Terry Harvey: When you walk often in that Devil’s Dalliance some of us make it out, some of us don’t.
43:41 [the photos of Jackson 5].
Narrator: Jackson’s life had been full of turmoil and controversy [MJ’s photos]. In Conrad Murray he hired a doctor who ultimately failed him [photo of Jermaine]. From the moment they met Michael’s fate was sealed.
43:56 Dr. Shepherd: Michael Jackson was a man with numerous physical and psychological problems, and to overcome these he’d spiraled into drug dependency and addiction. He was using dangerous drugs in an untested manner. In some ways it’s a miracle that he lasted as long as he did.
[the picture of MJ fades away]

Here is a link to this morbid, ridiculous and shameful show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=tsUYjwvW7Ik
As a final note let me quote the words of anesthesiologist Dr. Barry Friedberg:
“When Conrad Murray found Michael Jackson with fixed and dilated pupils, he should have pronounced him dead. Everything after that was pure theatrics to attempt to mitigate his own negligence.”
“Dr. Murray failed to watch and monitor his patient and nothing else matters.”
And also this from Dr. Friedberg’s book:
Propofol is not physically addictive…. Physical addiction is defined by withdrawal or “cold turkey” symptoms if the agent is not supplied. The first Murray folly was the notion of propofol “addiction”. The second fallacious notion was attempting to “wean” Jackson from a potentional propofol addiction by giving him members of the benzo family. The third and lethal folly was giving Jackson two types of drugs well known to potentially stop breathing.
[Even] the propofol dose is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is observing and monitoring one’s patient.
..giving multiple drugs with the well-known potential to stop breathing, failing to remain in observation, and failing to use a pulse oximeter are all clear predictors of a bad outcome. .. The only thing more reckless Murray could have done was taking Jackson up in an airplane and pushing him out without a parachute.
What would have prevented Jackson’s death? A knowledgeable, conscientious physician who both watch and monitored his oxygen – at the very least – absolutely would have.
IT WAS HOMICIDE.
The autopsy report said:
The cause of death is ACUTE PROPOFOL INTOXICATION. A contributor factor in the death is benzodiazepine effect.
The manner of death is HOMICIDE.
Circumstances indicate that propofol was administered by ANOTHER.
The circumstances do NOT support self-administration of propofol

I read that B Howard song and dance like MJ and he lookalike MJ, to me he is not even close, there is a lot of kids out there dance and song like MJ much better than him, again his face also doesn’t look like MJ because comparing MJ’s picture with his, after MJ had a plastic surgery is silly. Peoples when they compare them self with MJ, I don’t like it.
I read that Justine Bieber also comparing his problem he is going through now with MJ? To put the record street, Michael Jackson never had drug and alcohol problem when he was 19 and never behave badly in public or in private when he was young like them.
In fact, he was appreciated and rewarded by the president of USA for being row model for youths.

First of all I want to thank you for your confidence that you share mine your thoughts . You should know that we think and feel the same. My words turn of mind and my heart and are real. I haven’t hidden thoughts. I am a direct person, open. In general, I’m a vigilante attitude in life , love and cherish human values, despise non-values in a sincere way. As much as you, I want to express my displeasure against lies, flattery , injustice because my belief is good defense , peace and faith. Our Michael was an extraordinary being faithful , sincere , honest , loving like no other of us . Many people who have been close to him ( including family – I’m sorry to say ) were below the expectations of Michael . Why I say this because I feel I have that feeling, intuition my personality – in fact this is my best asset prices which leads me to action , to make decisions in life. Gifted people are so special, so rare, so as they always feel can give much more humanity and that is why when they leave earth and gone in heaven, they think that have not achieved their goals in life. The reality contradicts their thinking because their mission, role, goals were over accomplished.
They are being different from the majority and therefore are understood and accepted only by people who feel, think just like them. Hence it can be concluded interests of those researchers, authors who have the ability to cherish the true human values and write the real history of these rare values. So, the history writed with good and bad opinions are always divided according to the perception, ability, personality, standards, limits each subject separately. My presence here on your blog, support the idea of this project of breathtaking beauty and value by to hundreds of people demonstrating, shows once more the statement “nothing in life is random”. My urge to all supporters of the great and unique Michael, as for those who do not like him is to be worthy, loving, honest, responsible for the facts and allegations! Sometimes I feel that focusing attention on some facts less relevant attracts too many details and we must heartily thank you. Again I admire and love your accomplishments and through which proved once again that you are worthy of respect, of great consideration! Forever respect, gratitude, for yours value abillity, for hard, difficult, immense work you do for Michael’s vindicating.

To me Michael Jackson is also standing side by side with Mahatma Gandhi, Einstein, Galileo Galilei and people like them. The same great human being without whom it is impossible to imagine the history of humankind.
And I absolutely agree with your “composition” of Michael and all those qualities he was made of:
Love + Truth + Honesty + Modesty + Intelligence + Excellent quality + Humanity + Value of every human being + Peace = Michael Jackson
It is an excellent formula of Michael and it is my biggest dream to see much more people like him.
There was a time when I had a hope that Michael’s fans would follow his steps, but the further we go the less hope I have. Some people are indeed carrying Michael’s spirit, but some…. There is so much hate that it even baffles me.
Yesterday I found what Taj Jackson wrote about it in 2010 – it seems to me that it is all the more true for today:
Taj was writing about that moment when Katherine was indeed vilified like no other (I hope now it is different), but it seems to me that the same hate and intolerance are pervading almost everything else now. I may be mistaken and am not going to judge anyone but love is what I definitely don’t see and this makes me infinitely sad.
29mj, this is absolutely not intended for you, I am sorry. I just said it because I thought you would understand.
Or am I mistaken and you have a different impression of what you see?

“Why shouldn’t truth be stranger than fiction?” By the last tear(Nonlocal Unverse)
“There is a section in the autopsy report about the diagnosis, on page 14/3:
We know that Michael had multiple fractures, several bruises and puncture marks all over his body because of the resuscitation attempts. Apparently, it also produced some injuries in the lung(s) and the stomach. We do not know how many percent of the damages seen in Jackson’s lungs were caused by CPR and how much was there before he was killed. I wonder if any medical doctor would be able to give a scientific estimation in this matter. But it would be difficult to ignore the lung injury which was caused by CPR.” The 55 minutes Part 4 –The scenario
I read such amazing post, which reviled that in fact MJ’s lung X-ray shows not only a lung infection he had, also was injury “it says that alveolar hemorrhage in the lung was caused by the resuscitation attempts” according to the Autopsy.
Which Dr. Shepherd does not discuss about resuscitation (CPR) damaged MJ’s lungs
The writer put interesting points about Murray too, that MJ was not trusting Murray to gave him propofol, becasuse MJ was looking for anstiolgist on June 19 & 20th, 2009 called to nurse Lee to find anesthesiologist for him. I also heard Dr. Klein’s interview by TMZ that MJ did ask him to fined anesthesiologist for him around that time.
These facts itself could raise a lot of question . Why MJ needs another Dr. While Murray was with him? if Murray gave him propofol for the last 53 days, why MJ needed anesthesiologist on June 19th and 20? Which means that Murray never gave him propofol before June 20th ?
He must started giving him after June 20th because MJ couldn’t find anesthesiologist and he was desperate to sleep and had pressure to rehears. Was that because the Dr. given order by PG & RP to get him on rehearsal and to gave him whatever MJ needs to do so? (Who will forgot that fames PG’s e-mail and June 20th meeting)
Who knows what happened the last 6 or 5 days of his life? Who knows who did what to him in those days?

I don´t think Michael´s physiology was such that ECA would not add to his stress reaction.
Albeit it is safe ,lacking any scientific value, safe for healthy people when taken in subscribed doses.Michael was sort of too reved up most of the time as result of stress anyway.
Ephedrine with caffeine is a stimulant,not as strong as the ones on DEA´s controlled list.
The only fact we have is that a trace was found in his urine.No effort was made to asses it´s potential impact on his death .IHe may have tolerated it a couple of days ,but the third night bad effecs enhaced his insomnia. This is naturally speculation. But how come he had any of it in his body at all?When touring and much younger he needed 2 days to calm down and get rested for the next show.He had a stress sensitive constitution.
Also I want to point out that people who have expierienced much pain in childhood have a lower treshold for pain throughout their lives,have some mercy if he in the pst used some prescibed ones
.In itself ephedrine was not a cause of death but possibly exacerbated insomnia. By causing anxiety and palpitation.ie signs of arousal.To sleep well a person must not exercise for some hrs before attempting to sleep.- To return to the pain question, people with prolonged severe to moderate pain are between a rock and a hard Place. The non opiate pain medications carry risk when used for long periods as they can cause bleeding from the stomach . . Michael had that kind of pains..Therefor his at times resorting to opiate derivatives may have saved him from internal.often fatal bleeding.By 2004 the DEA had recived 18.000 reports of adverse effects.And here 38-40.000prople die of such complicatios.
And it is difficult to find compelling proof.It was well planned.,FL´s Computer in the wrong hands. Sure the reponsible party had money to pay experts to clean it from implicating messages.- too bad you no longer can get info from wikileaks.That blog mentioned that T.barrack was behind everything that happened to Michael And TT was his employee or associate.You can look up on T.B´s busuness methods on Wiki, how to profit from people in disstress and then minimanage and micro scrutinize their work..And at least those 2,TB&TT knew of Michael long before the contract was composed.. I was startled to read that somebody had heard Murray speak Arabic.If true this person should be found.
Proof are a most odd trial,and a stranger still instructuin to jury, they knen AEG HAD TO WIN.

“This would be a very serious accusation and we don’t have enough evidence to claim it” Helena
Yes, Helena we do not have enough evidence, but the motive and the circumstance is there.
I still can’t get out of my mind that Why RP & TT was at Michael home June 24th evening? Very suspicious.
Helena, do you think Murray did not know giving 200ml propofol within short time of period could be dangers? Plus all those drugs he gave him, do you think he (a Dr.) thought giving that much propofol without any monitoring was safe? I don’t think so, he must know that but he gave him anyway, why he gave him? That is my question. He didn’t even put on that useless little machine on MJ’s finger. All those things, makes me to think that he knowingly or deliberately did it.
Dear W, I agree with you and your analysis does make sense to me. Murray possibly can do that, the guy recording MJ secretly while MJ was in comma, is possible he could do anything to MJ, he is not a trust worthy man and he was 100% in control. And as per the evidence MJ did not order ECA Murray did, so probably MJ never used it before. Actually, all drugs found in MJ system are prescribed by Dr. and given by Dr. which means that MJ did not take all those drugs himself but the Dr. gave or inject him. I don’t understand MJ’s fault at all. They blame MJ for his death as he did it himself because he was drug addict as per their accusation. I don’t understand and I don’t think I will.
Helena, one thing I observed from Lopez testimony is, if in fact ECA was for MJ and if you see the order, still MJ was carful with caffeine and narcotic and trying to avoid them, that tells me and also support Nurse Lee record, MJ was not taking Demerol or any other drugs he is accused for quite some time.

Oh, this?
It is indeed a funny read. All these people including Firpo Carr, “a family friend and former family spokesman”, speak about Demerol and other narcotics claiming all the time that Michael Jackson died from these drugs – which he also allegedly bought in the name of his own son among other aliases?
And as proof of it they provide the words of Nurse Lee?
But Nurse Lee was actually talking about Propofol and said in her testimony that Michael was against any narcotics. How could they combine it with what Deepak Chopra said about the period of early 2000s?
And no OxyContin or Demerol was ever found in Michael’s home and there was not a trace of them in his body!

W, if you give me time I will write a detailed post about ephedrine and ECA containing it as I have studied dozens of articles on this issue and have been to the bodybuilders’ forum and followed each of their links. This was done to be able to write just a short comment on ephedrine in this post.
And after reading all that I know that ephedrine is indeed a powerful stimulant like natural adrenalin in our bodies, but it is absolutely not a narcotic. Its chemical composition is close to a narcotic methamphetamine and this is why it is sometimes used as raw material for illicit manufacture of this drug.
This is why ephedrine is called a precursor for these substances. Other precursors (raw materials) can be innocent things like potassiym permaganate, for example.
And ephedrine is not banned. It is sold in the US and other countries though there are several restrictions placed on it. Here is more detailed information on it from a site offering ECA:
The sale of Ephedrine in Nevada where Applied Pharmacy Services was registered and where Murray had his licence is not restricted, so technically the pharmacist probably didn’t break the rules – except the dosage of ephedrine in the mix – and this is evidently why Tim Lopez had to close his business later. The dosage (25mg) was not quite in accordance with the law.
Another breach was that in the end Tim Lopez created a mix of ephedrine+caffeine+aspirin which seems to be illegal now. Caffeine potentiates ephedrine and makes the mix even more powerful. This mix was banned as its use was associated with serious side-effects for sportsmen, bodybuilders and those who extensively used it for weight loss – initially it was produced as a food supplement to be taken three times a day.
Actually I don’t understand the proper status of ECA now as it is being offered all over Internet and no regulation agencies seem to be paying attention.
Wiki says about ephedrine-containing products:
For ashtma ephedrine is given in the amount of 15-60mg three or four times a day. To bring about serious side-effects a person should take really much as the illustrative cases in this piece show it (though a long-term use of regular dosages is detrimental too):

VC and Mariam, I agree that a murder is one of the possible awful scenarios and psychologically Murray looks like a person who (in a fit of rage) was able to do a thing like that.
As to the reasons why I know at least two reasons why 1) Murray could fly into an uncontrolled rage and 2) why his bosses could also be extremely resentful of Michael at that moment.
1) For Murray it was essential to perform the “services requested of him by the Producer” and do it to AEG’s complete satisfaction as otherwise AEG would not sign the contract prepared for him on that very day, June 24th. Two signatures were still missing there – those of AEG and Michael Jackson.
AEG wanted Michael to sign the contract and take upon himself Murray’s salary. However from the very start of it Michael wanted AEG to pay Murray’s salary (as Tohme said), so when hearing of that demand Michael could easily refuse to sign. And if he did Murray’s hopes for getting $300,000 for two months of his work would go bust and this could indeed send him into a fit of rage. He would regard Michael’s refusal as his “betrayal” of him.
2) And for AEG it was essential to get the insurance that would bring them back at least $17,5 million if Michael didn’t perform (the rest of their losses could be covered by the assets of Michael’s company, the money collected by the “This is it” film, etc.)
So for AEG at that moment nothing else was more important than the insurance – they even said in their emails of June 24th that it was a matter of utmost urgency. To obtain the insurance they were ready to meet each of the insurer’s requests and the insurer’s first request was Medical records for 5 years.
Now do you remember what email Conrad Murray sent to the insurer agent at 11:17 in the morning of June 25th?
He wrote that Michael denied him the authorization to release the medical records:
Can you imagine what a storm of fury this information created at AEG?
However even if we know that both Murray and AEG had their reasons to be furious with Michael we still can’t prove that Murray did it deliberately either on his own or on anyone’s orders.
This would be a very serious accusation and we don’t have enough evidence to claim it.

“But he has ordered …what did he do with all the propofol?” – laura
Laura, a good question. Indeed, what did Murray do with all that propofol?
I think that the signal to destroy it came from Murray when he called his girlfriend Nicole Alvarez who had received the medications in her house. Murray called her from the ambulance and the paramedics remembered him saying: “It is about Michael and it doesn’t look good”.
His storehouses evidently had less to do with it because (I’ve checked it up) most propofol was delivered to Nicole Alvarez’s address.
The storehouses are more interesting from the point of view of who was paying for them if Murray was in so dire straits that he couldn’t afford a better pulse oximeter (with a sound) than the basic one he actually had.

Mariam, thank you so much for the heartfelt and comprehensive post. It says all I and what I think most of us feel and think,and much is based on proven facts.Myself I have been thinking about a detail mentioned lately. The trace of ephedrine found at autopsy. That is just the the only fact about it ,but proves that somehow he had it in his body.Now ephedrine and the mix of it with caffeine and salisylate has not been on the market in most European countries for years,maybe not at all in this century.I found an article in the New England Journal of Medicine. Ephedrine does have some immediate effects that are of little significance to most people in approved doses. How ever ephedrine is closely realted to adrenaline, the fight or flee hormone or substance,however you want to classify it.
The article stated that is has no ,the ces mix, has no scientific value and better meds are available today for the purposes it was meant for.There are some individuals who are oversensitive to this kind of effect and to ephedrine. Adrenaline is acutely produced in a normal person in response to danger.I think Michael frequently was aware of danger and may well have been oversensitive to the effects of ephedrine. One other reason it is off the market is that the molecyle closely resembles that of metamfetamine,ie ecstacy. They all are called symphatomimetic drugs acting ,causing, quick arousal.There is a dearth of info on it here,but I´ll try to find out more over the next days or so.
Didn´t Murray mention that Michael was addicted to orange juice? A very healthy habit unless ,well lets leave that for later..-S.c. home labs produced ecstacy from ephedrine as a base.

This is the fact it bothers me most, that they ignored MJ, ignored his pain and suffering and ignored his stress, ignored who MJ was but they treated him like trash, two greedy people, Murray and AEG killed MJ, working for their own benefit only with the cost of MJ’s life. His wellbeing and life was nothing for them but money. How sad is that?
Nobody could miss that MJ in fact was not well, anybody who never saw Michael before can tell he was not well the last two weeks of June. Nobody should miss that sine. So I don’t believe for a second that AEG, KO or Murray missed that. The fans didn’t, the people who were working in rehearsal didn’t and how RP, PG and Murray missed that? That is why I am wondering why they pushed him to death? Why let him die? Why? They must know that not only MJ was unable to do the show, they must knew that he was dying if they don’t stop that rehearsal, specially the Dr. for sure knew MJ’s situation, but why he just ignored that?
This is what I think, AEG & Murray both knew that MJ is not well and it seems like they had a deal. Maybe I am mistaken by saying this, but their behaviour and the circumstances before and after MJ death tell me something.
1. Why Murray ignored MJ’s situation? Why RP came to MJ’s house that night? What was that conversation between CM &RP a day before MJ died? That is very fishy to me
2. Why AEG brought those video cameras and did record the rehearsal at the end? It was just rehearsal after all. Was that a plan to sell the movie even before he died? To me, they knew that MJ is not well and not able to do the show, may be they suspected he is not living longer, so they tried how they will get their money ($35b) back, so they were trying to find a way to cover their expenses because they knew the show was not going to happen.
3. How come that security video lost or deleted? What was on that video? I think that video had important evidence recorded before and after MJ’s death and again I think AEG destroyed that video one way or another.
4. Murray was extremely upset with AEG during his trial, because AEG betrayed him after MJ died, before who knows what was their deal? However quickly, when KJ sues AEG, again Murray’s and AEG relationship gets back. Murray’s tap from jail (TMZ reported about) makes me think what was happening between Murray and AEG. Now obviously Murray and AEG working together again to attack MJ’s legacy and attacking KJ. Obviously, KJ is sued both AEG and Murray for her son death and she is the enemy for both now, so they are collaborating once again to destroy Jacksons. Definitely, they did something together to MJ then and still now. It is just my opinion.
5. PG,RP, TT and FD knew what Murray was doing at MJ’s house, they knew what kind of treatment Murray was giving him at MJ’s home/ They knew Murray is in MJ’s home at night, that is why RP went that night to MJ’s house June 24 evening, while didn’t they know how dangerous is propofol? Didn’t they know the risk MJ was in? Sure they did. Everybody knew how propofol is dangerous, so why they ignored all that?
6. How about the FD’s computer? Why the computer data deleted or destroyed? What was in that computer? Why AEG’s lawyers get that computer even before the trial start? I think, that computer had again substantial evidence or secrets in it. Could there be a conversation between FD and AEG about MJ, about the whole deal and contract, about the Dr. and the treatment he is giving to MJ, who knows? But I can imagine how important was the information destroyed.
I wonder what they think about him now. I mean the real them, not what they do or say in public or in court, I mean what is their soul and their inner person speak to themselves now. I am wondering how human being live with peace or harmony after they did what they did.
“Jack Wishna – who cared about Michael – also said in an interview that he encouraged Michael to return from Ireland to possibly do a Vegas show but that they had to abandon the project because Michael was too fragile and unstable for the demands of a live show.” corlista1
AEG should have done the same thing like Jack Wishna, postpone the show, humans think and care for fellow human being like that.
Murray was resentful and upset with words MJ too. Why? Really? Maybe he thinks MJ put him in this situation, but his greediness, his own behaviour and poor decision in his life puts him in this situation not MJ. In fact it upset me that he is resentful with MJ and also makes me think that Murray deliberately killed MJ.
That is exactly what I think, they knew it at least after June 19th. But still they were thinking about their money not MJ, which is the truth and the saddest part of this entire situation, thinking about their business only and ignoring MJ’s wellbeing.
I was saying that from the start even though people think he is an angel especially after AEG trial. Even MJ’s fans think he was trying to help MJ but he changed his gear after MJ death to sell the This is it movie. How about him assaulting and embarrassing MJ in front of all the crew, wasn’t it him who demanded that MJ should come for rehearsal every day even though he knew MJ was not well? Wasn’t it he who demanded and forced MJ to put that ear plug and to take off his sun glass against MJ’s will? Didn’t he shout at him and threaten him that he might lose his kids if he is not working hard? Even Murray mentioned how MJ was upset withKO I mean, if we believe Murray. What I think is KO was in a situation to help MJ than any other people at that time. If he insisted enough to AEG and demanded that MJ get help or get him to hospital and asked AEG to postpone the show, MJ would be live. Of course, AEG could fire him or listen to him and change their mind to do better plan. Unfortunately, KO also in that trap (Money)

Corlista, what you are writing is absolutely true. Let me also add to it that on the days Michael went to Klein’s office in 2009 the need for a mask within the next few days after that was a medical necessity. I hope to write a post about it.
Let me also add to it that Michael was timid not only because he had not performed for many years, but also because he was taken advantage of as one of the dancers said. As you say he was not allowed to take decisions and was humiliated in front of everyone. See what Kriyss Grant is very cautiously saying:
And here is another piece tweeted by Jennifer Batten about Kriyss Grant saying this: http://www.mj-777.com/?p=2253
Just imagine it, the dancers were surprised and pleased by the fact that Michael finally spoke up! So how humiliated and timid must he have been if he was not able to speak up for 2 months?
Exactly. There was too little time for rehearsals but even the little time they had was cut by more than two weeks – July 26th as the date of beginning the tour (in the contract) was changed into July 8th which was later put off by a few days.
As to why they started so late there are numerous reasons for that including AEG’s desire to save up on the show – the shorter the period of rehearsals is the lower the costs are. I’ve also read that Kenny Ortega was busy with another project and they were waiting for him to join them only to arrange a mad race afterwards. Kenny Ortega’s role in that tragedy is very big.
Well, the investigation intensified in respect of Murray only a month later when the police finally went to Murray’s clinic, home, etc. So Murray had a whole month at his disposal. And the fact that he destroyed his stock of Propofol and other medications is indisputable – he was collecting it for the tour (and not rehearsals), so there must have been a lot there by the time Michael died. However nothing, absolutely nothing was found.
The police never focused on it because it was their blatant mistake and they don’t like to accept responsibility for things like that. But the fact is still there – Murray destroyed all the evidence except those three bags in Michael’s house.

Laura, the first part of your comment may be absolutely true but the second is not, I am afraid. The after-effect of stimulants (like caffeine, for example) is not seen immediately. They manifest themselves with time only. If you stimulate your body with much coffee for a week or even several weeks your health will not deteriorate bad enough to resemble Michael’s condition at the end of June.
Supplements containing ephedrine are taken on a very wide scale by body builders and it takes at least several weeks (if not more) of ephedrine taking for them to feel the after-effects of it. Initially everything is fine and they feel strong, vigorous and their performance is enhanced and their energy is boosted.
But Michael did not show any signs of energy boost from June 10th when Murray first received those capsules up to June 23rd. This means that ECA was not given to MJ by Murray within that period of time.
Did he give it to Michael on June 23rd? Possible. Could he put it into his drink? Possible too. But Michael would not have died after the two times of getting ECA.
And his energy boost could be explained by finally getting a good night’s sleep under Propofol, for example.

Laura, yes, the idea is perfectly understandable and I am glad that you raised it. I absolutely don’t know how AEG could resolve that situation with two doctors in London supposed to subject MJ to a series of strenuous tests – his heart and lungs were to be tested under a physical exercise and his blood and urine were to be analyzed. Propofol was no problem as it evaporates from the system very quickly, but all those benzos were surely to be detected during the tests.
So if Murray was really preparing Michael for the tests he should have been doing the reverse of what he declared – he was to resort to more propofol and less benzos not to have them detected in the blood and urine, and this is probably what he was really doing (in contrast to his version).
And I wouldn’t be surprised if it was AEG who asked Murray to give Michael ephedrine to make him “dance his ass off” – for shooting the film or presenting him at a rehearsal to the UK doctors.
If you read AEG’s emails for the end of June you will also see that Gongaware was insisting that the tests should be made in Michael’s home and they were ready to even fly the doctors into the US (which previously they thought too costly).
But after June 19th even the high cost of bringing the doctors in no longer mattered. Considering AEG’s readiness to spare no cost and also their sudden desire to insure themselves against Michael’s death which they expressed immediately after June 19th, all this makes me think that they were afraid that Michael would not survive even until July 6 when the medical examination was to take place.
This is what should be really looked into by all fans of Michael Jackson.
However the fanbase is being vigorously distracted from these crucial problems and is guided into some relatively unimportant matters – like a dispute whether Cascio songs are fake or not (they are not). This makes me wonder – why has it suddenly become so burning an issue and why is it Frank Cascio and John Branca of all people?
Let me make a guess.
Is it because these two people will be very much needed in the forthcoming situation with Wade Robson? Frank Cascio may be one of the crucial witnesses about Michael’s innocence and Branca may be the Defendant in Wade Robson’s lawsuit.
If the reputation of both is done away with now or if both of them grow sick and tired of this mess with MJ’s fans, there will be no one to talk for Michael in a possible trial (if the situation with Wade Robson goes that far).
So this is probably why the overwhelming majority of fans are being distracted from the real issues of AEG and Murray now and led into portraying the Cascios and Branca as the worst of all liars.
But they are not. It is AEG and Murray who are the worst of liars, only fans are discouraged from talking about it.

W, these facts are irrefutable but the media manages to dispute even them (or rather hide them from the public).
And you are right – it is quite possible that Murray indeed hoped that propofol would break up while he was giving the dead body chest compressions and the heart was manually moving blood along the veins.
The media bias for Murray and against Michael is so obvious and so shamelessly open that it is even amazing. The most straightforward facts are denied and replaced by irresponsible speculations presented as facts, and what’s so incredible about it is that this is happening in full view of everyone.
They just wait until the truth revealed at the trial gets a little forgotten by the public and then return to the old lies making them even worse than before.
The same was evidently taking place when Michael was alive and this is why he felt so frustrated and helpless in the face of this dirt – up to the point of screaming in “Scream”, “Money”, “Why do you trip on me?” and others songs. He did not understand it and couldn’t believe what was happening, same as we don’t understand and don’t believe our eyes now either.
Michaael did try to overcome these lies by issuing statements, making interviews, telling the truth in his songs, but all his efforts were smashed and wiped away by a new ocean wave of lies.
What is it and why is this happening? Is it only money which is motivating all these thousands of people involved in the process of lying? But wouldn’t they make as much money if they published a true (and sensational) report about what Murray really did to Michael that night? About the amount of Propofol he gave MJ and how long he was absent making phone calls?
Or about AEG’s treatment of Michael up to Randy Phillips slapping Michael? Remember how few media outlets published that slap story and how long they kept silence until finally someone ventured to publish the truth?
After seeing all this I have no doubt whatsoever that media owners have their agenda in respect of Michael and individual journalists can tell the truth about him only at the price of risking their career, job and their whole well-being.
Look at Alan Duke of CNN – Mr. Putnam even found it possible to teach him a public lesson. He expressed his satisfaction with the way the AEG trial was covered by the press but called Alan Duke “woefully misinformative” though his reports were the most accurate ones and were just telling the truth as it was.

Ms. Brazil: Turning now to June 1st 2009 did you have yet another conversation with Conrad Murray concerning energy formulations?
Mr. Lopez: Yes.
Ms. Brazil: Did you make additional suggestions to Conrad Murray as to a product that might suit his needs?
Mr. Lopez: Yes, I did.
Ms. Brazil: Did Murray request that you send him some capsules so that he can try them out?
Mr. Lopez: Yes, he did.
Ms. Brazil: Do you recall when you shipped these items to him? In other words did you ship them with a later order June 10th, 2009?

It is indeed surprising how Murray´s lies are repeated as if the truth when they can so easyly be shown to be lies.Only 2 simple, verified facts show that his stories are fiction.The toxicology report. nr 1. My suspicion has been that the delay re the 911 call had to do with propofol. He hoped that if Michaels body still functioned to some degree (all tissues do not “die” at the same rate) the propofol would be metabolized. Little did he think that the bladder would be full of it and dosing derived from that amount. The nr 2 is the also verified phone and messaging timing on 6/25 am.Totally contradicts his 2 min of absence.
Add to this his ordering, so early, to empty his storage-why that timing?
All the bias for Murray in press, bias against Michael in press, AEG trial etc makes me lean more and more towards the opinion of VCThere are further facts.I don´t need to repeat..
Ephedrine has been drawn from the market here many years ago.Knowing the exact amount and metabolism could help to calculate the timing and amount of dose.Unfortunately I don´t have the appropriate sources at hand at this moment.

Christy, I conscientiously watched this crime scene documentary all the time fuming at the way the media diligently repeats Murray’s lies and shows the room so well equipped with medical monitors which in reality were NEVER there. Why does the media always have to repeat what Murray said though it is a proven lie? The only thing which may more or less explain it is that the documentary was probably made before Murray’s trial.
But as to the alias “Josephine Baker” you mentioned I didn’t notice it there. True, aliases were used because in his situation Michael could not buy even Aspirin without the media going wild about it, but none of the aliases were for the medication that could raise eye-brows and prove that Michael was buying, for example, Demerol. No, he was not.
And Klein said on many occasions too that he never prescribed Demerol to Michael but only administered it in his office during medical procedures. And no Demerol was found in Michael’s house. In fact no narcotics were found in his home except a piece of rotten marijuana in some unused suitcase together with cigarettes (which Michael never smoked), so who this suitcase belonged to is also a question.
What does some “Josephine Baker” mentioned somewhere by Velez-Mitchell matter in these circumstances? Nothing or very little. However if you find where she mentioned this name and in what connection I will be ready to look into it too.

How do we know Michael didn’t speak about bringing in another doctor again? Possibly replacing Murray, and Murray thinking about everything he had given up to work with Michael got upset.

I’ve always believed that Murray was dosing Michael with that ECA stack in order to induce insomnia. I think it’s long past time that this case be reconsidered as murder, not involuntary manslaughter. The case can be made that Murray deliberately killed Michael Jackson. The real question is why. Was it on orders from others, or did Murray kill him in a rage, angry because he still had no contract, no money, his practice shut down for a pipe dream?
June in LA is hot, yet the heat in the bedroom was turned way up. I believe it was a clumsy attempt to disguise the fact that Michael had been killed hours earlier, probably just before Murray called his employees to take items out of storage.
One mystery I’ve never seen discussed – Michael made regular visits to Arnie Klein, so why was Murray ordering benoquin? It’s a vitiligo treatment. Wouldn’t Michael be getting it from Klein, the morally-challenged but well-known dermatologist? A cardiolgist would never have cause to prescribe it.

(Sorry, I don’t know how to set off former comments so I’m putting them in quotation marks.)
“But he definitely didn’t want to speak of his diseases not to add to the “freak” image the media already created of him.”
We also know that Michael cherished his image and worked relentlessly on it. He was beautiful, gifted, talented and brilliant. How often didn’t 1000s of us think he was “perfection?” He also cherished his childhood and was adored as a child. In adulthood he was the object of derision, scorn and hideous accusations. Why wouldn’t he want to be seen as forever young and beautiful? Health problem such as arthritis, enlarged prostate and hair loss – health issues which come with aging – were not parts of himself that Michael wanted to share with the world – nor should he have had to.\
“Maybe he put it on to protect his lungs and his immune system.”
I felt for a long time that Michael thought that his masks added an air of mystery but that he was also protecting himself from the masses of people that he was subjected to for decades. When you’re around thousands of people, grabbing at you, sticking their hands in your face, dancers, musicians, production people, maids, staff, sick children, et al you are very exposed. His performances demanded that he be healthy and have great stamina. Stadiums full of people depended on it.
“…when Murray says you couldn’t say no to MJ. As Helena pointed out, everybody was pushing MJ around.”
More CYA from CM. After Michael died I remember reports from some of the TII dancers that when rehearsals started Michael was timid, nervous, uncertain and wouldn’t speak up as others made important decisions and the dancers tried to support him to give him courage. Eventually he did take charge but then towards the end fell apart as Murray’s lethal concoctions took their toll on him. Jack Wishna – who cared about Michael – also said in an interview that he encouraged Michael to return from Ireland to possibly do a Vegas show but that they had to abandon the project because Michael was too fragile and unstable for the demands of a live show. Hardly the picture of a demanding diva.
“Why can’t I choose?”
Why wasn’t he allowed to choose Bush who he clearly wanted instead of Zaldy? Why didn’t he choose when rehearsals or the concert schedule began? Why was there such a short rehearsal period before the July start date? They should have started practicing months before they did. Anyone who knew Michael knew his standards for perfection and doing something over and over again until it was perfect. He KNEW there wasn’t enough time. If there’s one thing I have NO doubt: Murray, Phillips, Tohme, etc – they all knew he was in a compromised state. They all knew he was vulnerable and in no position to fight back. They ALL used him, treated him with disdain and looked the other away.
“The (propofol) timing …is suspicious. Also Michael had not eaten his evening meal or had breakfast, which was unusual and not his usual pattern of behaviour.”
Helen-Marie: I never considered the timing of the 10:40a Propofol that last day until you raised the issue about Michael needing to be at rehearsal that morning. In addition to Michael missing the magic rehearsal he was excited about, Murray jeopardized himself by giving Michael the drug that late in the morning after all the arguments that had occurred re CM getting MJ to rehearsal? Why?
About Michael’s food not being eaten, every time I watch TII, I am bothered by the segment where he does Thriller and then Threatened. I’ve watched it very carefully (in the beginning because I love the way he dances to Threatened) but every time I’m struck by how unwell Michael looks. Fatigued. Vacant. Asking for a towel as he walks off the ramp with Travis indicating that he’s sweating. I’ve always thought he looked sick that night. Maybe he couldn’t eat?? Or worse…
“Murray paid for two storage houses to keep some papers there though he could very well leave them in his clinic? Of course there was a stock of various medications there including Propofol and after MJ’s death Murray he got rid of it.”
Yes, weren’t there 2 women – Murray employees – who were seen removing things from one of his warehouses who refused to answer questions? We know Murray had Propofol delivered to “the instrument’s” apt via Fed Ex. Murray could have easily destroyed that evidence the day of or the day following Michael’s death before the investigation intensified.
“W, actually all the people who observed that sight knew that Michael had been long dead, and it was only Murray who was claiming things no one else saw. The paramedics placed the time of death at least 20 minutes before they arrived”
Murray fooled no one! There was no pulse. There was no life in Michael’s body. There was no need for resuscitation and Murray knew it. It was all a show. Murray just didn’t want Michael’s home – where Murray had been in charge – to be the death scene. If Michael was pronounced dead in a hospital, Murray could always say Michael was alive when they put him in the ambulance. Dilated eyes happen at death but lividity and a cold body take approximately 1-3 hours. I have always believed Michael was gone by 11:30a, perhaps even earlier. I believe Murray hooked him up to a Propofol drip early in the morning and then 1) fell asleep or 2) having done it numerous times got careless and didn’t check on Michael for over an hour or more or 3) did a cursory check, thought he was sleeping and went off to his personal phone calls. Michael died helpless and alone.
And a last comment — I am not a conspiracy theorist but another thing that has always seemed highly suspicious is how almost all the security tape from Carrollwood that night went “missing” The most famous man in the world dies under highly unusual circumstances and the police “lose” (or claim the tape is empty) of all but a few minutes of the hours recorded on that night? I find that very hard to believe.

Laura, but this is exactly what we know. Murray did not give ECA to Michael in April, May and first half of June as he received it from Applied Pharmacies only on June 10th.
And on June 15th Murray said “he was happy with the result”, though Michael did not show even a trace of the energy boost. This means that Murray did not give it to Michael even in the middle of June yet (at least until after June 19th) and most probably was happy with his own taking of ECA.
As to capsules I finally understand the difference between them and pills – the capsules can indeed be divided and their contents spilled into a drink.

Absolutely. This is absolutely possible as it was Murray in the first place who had to live up to his promise that Michael would perform well, that nothing was wrong with him and that Murray’s bosses (AEG) would be pleased.
However at the moment we cannot prove that Murray put it into Michael’s drink without him knowing it and that is why I am looking at the whole range of possibilities including the one that Michael took it himself.
But even if he did the pill was still from his doctor’s hands – that’s the main point. And it was his doctor who ordered it. And ordered it most probably for himself too which makes it even more interesting.
Thank you very much for the link. I remember that the Trial and Tribulations blog did a perfect summary of preliminary hearings, only don’t remember Tim Lopez for some reason. Now it is long past midnight here so I will reread it tomorrow and will hopefully sum up a few things in a post.

Laura, yes, the Baby Essentials bag was one of the three bags where Murray hid his medications.
There was 1) a small black bag, 2) a big blue one with a plastic grocery bag inside and 3) a bag with “Baby Essentials” on it which contained all propofol and other medications.
I described the contents of the bags in this post: https://vindicatemj.wordpress.com/2011/10/03/conrad-murray-trial-week-2/
Here is a short list of what was found in the “Baby essensials” bag:
• Two full propofol 100ml bottles (people’s 142)
• Four 20 ml propofol bottles unopened and three 20ml bottles opened (people’s 143) – 1) 20% full 2) less than half-full and 3) less than 20% full (15-20% full). So Murray used approximately 16 ml, 11 ml and 17 ml in the three of them.
• Three Lidocaine bottles – one unopened, two with the silver caps opened (people’s 144)
• Three 10ml Midazolam bottles – one cap removed, two unopened (people’s 145)
• Four 5ml Flumazenil bottles – three unopened, one opened with the majority of it consumed (people’s 146)
• Two bottles of Lorazepam – one unopened, one half full (people’s 147)
• Bottle from Applied Pharmacies containing Ephedrine 25mg, Caffeine 200mg, Aspirin 80mg (people’s 148)
• BQ Lotion (people’s 149)
• Eye drops (people’s 150)
• Medex T connector (a IV tubing device) (people’s 151)
• A tourniquet (people’s 152)
• Five business cards (people’s 153)
After listening to Ms. Fleak again today I’ve added information to the old post that ECA came from the Applied Pharmacies. This is an extremely important point, especially in combination with what Tim Lopez said about it.
And I think it is not that important whether eventually Michael took that ECA from Murray knowingly or not. After all it is a supplement advertised all over Internet as a diet pill (I have LOTS of information about it) and if it came from the official source of Applied Pharmacies and was suggested by Tim Lopez as “something natural, no narcotic, just a supplement enhancing performance” Michael could have no reason to doubt the legal pharmacist and doctor who eventually gave it to him to test.
What is much more important is the following:
1) the energy boost was given to Michael by a doctor (Conrad Murray)
2) this doctor himself didn’t know the first thing about this supplement and relied on the pharmacist who “did his research” and “suggested” it
3) so Murray was freely experimenting on Michael with this and that
4) the time when Murray received those pills from Applied Pharmacies (on June 10th) shows that he either took the pills himself and didn’t give them to Michael (as evidenced by his weak state until June 23rd) or that he did give them to MJ but they didn’t work. The time also suspiciously coincides with the time when AEG and Ortega began to play tough love on MJ and exert pressure on both, including Murray
5) Murray didn’t have a chance to give MJ many pills as Lopez supplied him with “some capsules” only (for testing them), so ECA could indeed be administered to Michael on one or two days at the most. After a very short administration of pills the bottle contained 14 pcs
6) ECA could be very well presented to MJ as dietary pills or food supplement. This is the way they are widely advertised on the internet
7) since the ECA pills were few in number, supplied from Applied Pharmacy in mid-June only and were given to Michael probably at the very end of it – just prior to his death – it means that the ECA pills were no reason for Michael’s insomnia from which he suffered for a much longer period of time
8) and the most important thing is that even without those energy boosts Michael could very well dance, train for hours and perform in May and beginning of June (see Billie Jean for example). Michael’s health quickly deteriorated due to Murray’s “treatment” of him. At some point Murray began loading him with benzodiazepines at night which made Michael drowsy and lethargic in the morning and this required an “energy boost” to make him wake up and function in the daytime.
Let me stress it once again – Propofol does not make a person drowsy, groggy and tired. It leaves a person invigorated and refreshed. If Murray had been giving Michael only Propofol Michael would NOT have been lethargic the next day.
It was the BENZO treatment that was doing it to him.

Laura, sorry for missing your information earlier – have you got a link to the transcript of the pretrial hearings of Tim Lopez? Could you send it here please?
I am totally amazed to hear from you that Murray said the energy boost was for himself.
Let me explain why. Upon reading your request for proof that the ECA pills were in Murray’s bag I went to Youtube to check up Ms. Fleak’s testimony again which then brought me to Tim Lopez of Applied Pharmacies, and over there, after listening to what he said I began suspecting that Murray wanted those ECA capsules for himself.
Deborah Brazil and Tim Lopez discussed those energy boosts several times and the third time she asked it became clear that Lopez delivered on June 10th “some capsules” he offered just for trying them (there was no invoice and evidently the bottle indeed had only “some” capsules) and the next time they spoke to each other on the phone (around June 15) Murray told him that “he was happy with them” and asked him about the price.
Who was happy with them? Michael was happy with them? But how could he be if on June 12 he had a bad rehearsal according to Travis Payne and Ortega and on June 13 (Saturday) felt so bad that Murray even gave him a sick leave, only to cancel it the next day June 14th (on Sunday when Gongaware reminded him who was paying him money), and on Monday June 15th Michael appeared at the rehearsal weak and fatigued? And on the follow-up days he was getting only worse and worse?
So it wasn’t Michael whom those energy boosters helped? He definitely wasn’t the one to show any boosts of energy during that period.
But if not Michael then who? At this point it occurred to me that Murray’s phrase that “he was happy with them” could be understood literally – that HE (Murray) was happy with them. Staying awake by Michael’s side at night was tiring for him too, so it is quite possible that Murray wanted and evidently tried those pills for himself.
So you can imagine how amazed I was when I read your information about Tim Lopez recalling that Murray said that this was exactly his purpose.
Could you find a link to the pretrial hearings where Tim Lopez speaks about it, please?

W, actually all the people who observed that sight knew that Michael had been long dead, and it was only Murray who was claiming things no one else saw. The paramedics placed the time of death at least 20 minutes before they arrived:
The bodyguards said that “he looked dead”, the doctor to whom the paramedics spoke before taking MJ to the hospital agreed that he should be pronounced dead and it was only on Murray’s insistence why she said okay to taking him to the hospital. All doctors who saw MJ at the hospital said that there was no chance as MJ had long been brain dead.
Murray presents himself as a hero that he was insisting on all those resuscitation effors long after the heart stopped, but every school graduate knows that some 4 or 5 minutes after that the brain dies and even if Michael’s heart had resuming beating he would have been a vegetable.

This revokes the whole message of that ugly channel 5 program – Michael was not “taking” this ECA on his own, but it was again prescribed and fed to him by MURRAY who had ordered this stuff from Applied Pharmacies.
This is where they discuss it at Murray’s trial (at around 1:20):
So (as usual) the authors of the program presented what Murray was doing to Michael as if it was Michael himself – while it was the opposite case!
Moreover, Murray tried to conceal the fact that it was him who had ordered the drug as the bottle had neither patient’s nor doctor’s name on it. It only had the label of Applied Pharmacy Services on it – the place from which only Murray could order it!
What scumbags all these people are.

Certainly Murray knew about ECA: during the fifth preliminary hearing of the Murray trial , it emerged from Lopez testimony, the chemist where Dr. Murray was purchasing propofol , that the doctor requested a preparation of energizing formulas, which could give great vigilance and NOT in need of prescription ( he got capsules of ECA : ephedrine – caffeine – aspirin), saying the product were for himself. However, MJ autopsy detected traces of ephedrine. C. Lee testified MJ liked to drink Red Bull but once understood that caffeine would have contributed to his insomnia , he drink no more. Also C. Chase confirmed the same.
Chase during Aeg trial said the fridge at Carolwood was almost empty and only contained Coca Cola, Red Bull and Starbuck’s coffee drinks : she knew MJ did not drink its because of caffeine, which would have exacerbated his insomnia. It’s not possible believe MJ J took the ECA knowingly ! Did you ever came to your mind that it might be given to him without his knowledge ? Murray main task was to put him on stage at all costs . It takes a minute to open a capsule and pour the content into food or beverages for example … Please read here : MJ had symptoms which can be attributed to the side effects of this preparation :

But generally I see my main contribution in analyzing things and providing facts which I urge others to use in their letters of complaints. Sometimes I also involve myself in long and enduring public disputes in some websites but it always distracts me from going forward which I cannot afford. There are so many areas to explore that even following all those directions all at once is a big challenge.
Everyone should do his/her share of the job and do what he/she is doing best. It seems to be that my little knack is in bringing the information together. One and the same person can’t be expected to look for facts, analyze them and then go and fight with their help all over internet. If it is the field for a lone fighter this battle will never be won.
Like all of us I am only human and hope you understand.

Helen-Marie, please forget about Murray’s version of giving a “little” of Propofol at “10:30”. At that time and later Murray was speaking on the phone and Michael received not 2,5ml (25mg) of Propofol, but more than 200ml (2000mg) of it.
This amount is big enough to give MJ ‘sleep’ for the full night. And this amount was proven by the lab tests and computer simulations made by Dr. Shafer.
Dr. Shafer made similar computer simulations when he was working on setting the dosages of propofol for its manufacturers when they were only introducing it to the market – so this information is coming not from some third-rate expert, but from the top researcher of Propofol, and actually almost the father of it (in terms of its usage).

I trust Dr. Czeisler’s findings very much because he is the only scientist who seriously talks about the grave after-effects of prolonged insomnia, and if Michael did not really have any biological sleep for 60 days (with no REM phase), then he is right – without proper sleep Michael would not have survived another week.
But the more I look into all the circumstances of May and June 2009 the more I doubt that Murray was indeed giving Michael Propofol for 60 nights. I’ve already mentioned some factors speaking to that, but not all of them.
One of the points I mentioned was the fact that Murray destroyed part of his Propofol stock. Destroying the evidence is a separate crime for which Murray would have had to answer too, so it was even in his interests to imply that he had used up all of it during those 60 nights.
Moreover if he had confessed to destroying the stock it would have brought into light the people who helped him to get rid of it, so Murray can be easily covering up for someone this way.
Murray had TWO storage houses – one in California and the other one in Texas. Both were rented sometime in spring. Murray’s clinic in Texas was left to another doctor so Murray did not have to close it and move all the equipment, medications and medical records into a storage place. Everything stayed where it was.
But if this is the case what for did Murray need two storage houses? The police found only some papers there. So are we supposed to believe that Murray paid for two storage houses to keep some papers there though he could very well leave them in his clinic? Of course there was a stock of various medications there including Propofol and after MJ’s death Murray he got rid of it. The stock was meant for London and not rehearsals in the US. And if there was a stock, it means he didn’t use all of it.
There are some other indications that propofol was not used every night (some indications are very strong), but before I bring them all together I will refrain from talking about it.
We should shake off the spell cast on us by Murray and stop listening to his fabricated stories. Instead we should do a totally independent investigation of what happened in May and June 2009. When it comes to lying Murray simply has no rivals, so it would be a terrible mistake to listen to what he says and follow his version and timeline of the events.
We should prepare ourselves that the whole of his version could be a complete fabrication.

Something that has bugged me for a while now and watching the programme yesterday has reinforced, is the fact that Murray waited until mid morning to give Michael propofol which would put him to sleep for hours. Because didn’t Kenny Ortega say that Michael was due at rehearsals that morning and they were waiting for him when they heard that he had passed?
Kenny also said Michael was very excited about attending because they were rehearsing the illusion/magic trick where Michael would disappear from one point of the stage and appear somewhere else. So why would he beg to be put to sleep when he knew he was due at rehearsals to run through something he was excited about?
The timing has never sat well with me and is suspicious. Also Michael had not eaten his evening meal or had breakfast, which was unusual and not his usual pattern of behaviour.
———————————————————————————————————————–
Kia Chase said at Murrays trial….
She’d arrived at Jackson’s Los Angeles home on the morning of his death and made the children breakfast and also prepared for the singer one of his favourite morning meals – granola with almond milk. She said he did not come down to eat it, adding that he often dined in private, so she wrapped it and placed it in the refrigerator. She also noted that a white bean soup she made the day before was left there, uneaten.
Chase testified that she then left the house to go to the market and returned around 10:30 a.m. By this time, she said, Murray would typically come downstairs to get Jackson a container of juice she had prepared in advance. But he did not do so that day, she said.
“When I returned to the home, the children were playing, music was playing and everyone was enjoying themselves and I started getting ready to prepare lunch. ” Chase said, adding that Jackson preferred to eat that meal at 12:30 p.m. “exactly” and that she would adhere to that schedule, although sometimes exceptions were made.
————————————————————————————————————————–
So, no evening meal eaten, no breakfast and no special juice that he would typically have around 10.30am every morning. Also Murray putting Michael to sleep at 10.30-10.50am would not allow him a decent sleep and time to come down for lunch at “exactly” 12.30 as was scheduled every day.
I for one cannot sleep on an empty stomach and why would a doctor not encourage eating a light soup supper if someone had been rehearsing all day and they were going to take relaxants and sedatives to help them get to sleep? Unless, maybe because he was intending to give propofol as soon as Michael arrived back and needed an empty stomach to do so.

Helena, I finally got the courage to watch the programme yesterday, although I have to say it took me over 2 hours as I broke down within minutes of the opening shot of Michaels lifeless body on the gurney. Yes, indeed it’s everything that’s wrong about a programme of this kind, shocking, unnecessary and full of inaccuracies.
What makes me so upset is that the researchers of the programme had exactly the same access to information as we do, including court transcripts from two trials and yet, not only they pad it out with inaccuracies and lies, they cannot even show a childhood photo of Michael without getting it wrong! Absolutely ridiculous and shameful.
The inaccuracy that upset me the most was the statement from Dr Richard Shepherd regarding Michaels nose, “the bridge is entirely missing”, for this only adds to the lie the media started about his prosthetic or missing nose and Randy Phillips comment about getting his nose on before the announcement of the This is it concerts. As you have said there is no evidence whatsoever that this is true.
It also looks like they employed the same researching skills for their character witnesses as AEG had done with Murray- very little, as even an internet search would pull up the scandals behind the liars they chose to interview.
Portraying a person with medical needs as a drug addict is unforgivable. I know from my own suffering of chronic pain that you need certain drugs to be able to function and Michael was no different to any other human being in pain. To put on a brave happy face and face the world takes all the effort you have some days and when the balance is wrong you will seek advice and trust those in the medical field.
Take it from me, pain leads to sleepless nights, which lead to harder to function days and the vicious circle gets harder and harder with every missed sleep. If Michael was suffering from chronic pain in his scalp and back and his lungs were struggling then it would have taken a small miracle to undertake what he did in the lead up to his death and it breaks my heart that no one saw this and no one cared enough to pull the plug and save his life, or was that the bigger plan?
It has always troubled me that he’d agreed to go back on stage and not undertake an easier scenario like a short film which would have showcased his incredible talent and would have been much easier on his health.

Michael was whipped into control by the meds given to him. Obviously he had difficulty falling asleep, but not so deep. Once he was sedated by the first dose Murray was at lib to give whatever without Michael even knowing what he was given and how much he had been given prior..I have been wondering of late if Murray really was so ignorant, careless is for sure, and no notes is a glaring lack. I think they may have changed their (AEG) policy towards the end. Get the TII canned, and therefore the last pieces were taped first. This to confuse people of Michaels physical state.
And as I have mentioned before Murray used to do stents before at his clinics and must have been well aquainted with the sedatives he eventually used on Michael. The details of what actually happened am on 6/25 are not known. For sure Murray’s version is pure falsification. As Dr. Czeisler stated Michael would not have lasted even 1 week longer. So whether he died on the 25th or a bit later would not have made much difference to the weird financial arraignments, awarding AEG all his earthly posessions.
There is much research on insomnia, obviously Murray never read articles or checked it on the net.

Nan, I agree, the twisted portrait they are painting of Michael is probably the worst of all lies told about him. If you listen to Pfeiffer, Murray and Randy Phillips you get the impression of Michael of being almost a tyrant while all of them were just some frightened little rabbits who couldn’t say “no” to him.
Nothing can be farther from the truth.
Michael was humble, polite, intelligent and dignified. Like all of us he wanted to be heard and listened to, especially since he had every right to it.
To Kenny Ortega who insisted on rehearsals he said Kenny should first build a house and he would then come and paint the front door. This was a totally proper answer. What was the need for Michael attending every rehearsal from the start of it and performing at every of them? No need at all. But you will note that Michael had to perform Billie Jean (for example) at the beginning of June already, a month before the tour began. Why? Because Randy Phillips insisted on it and wanted him to work harder!
So who was the tyrant there? Definitely not MJ. Insisting on Michael coming to every rehearsal was a complete insult to him as even Shawn Trell said in his testimony about this type of a relationship with an artist. Any artist.
Did Michael have the right to say “no” to Phillips and Kenny? Yes, absolutely, he had every right to do it, however he obliged and did come following their orders. And now they twist everything into its opposite.
Look at Michael and at Randy Phillips and compare the language they used. Michael was always humble, polite and speaking of love calling on them to be human and humane – while Phillips knows nothing else but the language of threats, yelling and dirty swearing.
Or look at Michael and Conrad Murray in those interviews of his. Michael was never seen infuriated while Murray springs from affected piety into uncontrolled rage within seconds. He constantly teaches and deprecates everyone around him – his lawyers and interviewers, and he manages to belittle even the paramedics and doctors who tried to resuscitate Michael (“they were slow”). He rebuffed and lectured Kenny Ortega on June 20th and was praised by Phillips for doing so (“the doctor was fantastic”).
So does Murray produce the impression of someone who could be bossed by Michael? Absolutely not. Michael was fully in Murray’s hands and had no power over his actions. He could not even know what Murray was doing to him when was under sedation – and Murray recorded him, didn’t monitor him and spoke on the telephone for hours leaving his patient alone.
Michael couldn’t say “no” to Murray giving him benzodiazepines which he never wanted. He couldn’t train at home, he couldn’t refuse the rehearsals, he couldn’t refuse even a small thing like wearing those ear-phones – so what are they talking of when they claim now “you couldn’t say “no” to him?”
A claim like that is simply an insult to common sense and a terrible lie propagated by AEG/Murray and the media.

The day when Michael hurt his back in 2005 and had to walk into court, sit uncomfortably for 8 hours – I really felt for him. I hurt my back a few months ago, I never would have thought it would be so painful. I can’t even imagine the amount of pain he was in with the condition of his spine.

I was just reading the post that mentions Charles Thomson saying that things in the program are taken from people who are proven liars , like Murray and Jason Pfieffer.

You could notice MJ politely trying to tell people that the earplugs they made him wear bothered him and a few other things., in This Is It…
I dont believe MJ demanded that stuff that night,and Murray had to cave in. Everything Murray told the police and paramedics was self serving..
If he was just giving MJ something without the drip, he wouldnt have left his side , because if MJ woke up , being the demanding person he supposedly was, he would have been angry Murray wasnt sitting there doing his one job..monitoring him., instead he is away on the phone for 40 minutes or longer.
I think Murray gave it to him , because it enabled Murray to put MJ down so he could make his calls. He did say he often returned calls when MJ was ‘sleeping’.
I dont remember where I saw it , but I am pretty sure MJ had a post it up that said ” no violence ever”
I always think he had that up, as a way to deal with ALL these people making demands on him to get to rehearsal, do things, the way and pace they wanted, showing up at his house.
LIke Randy Phillips said himself, even when MJ was angry he was too polite to be rude.. because was such a peaceful person..

Yes, information about Lupus was the second drop of truth in this program (the first was the burn incident) and it might help people to understand Michael.
But I would still prefer to have this drop of truth in an accurate story and not in a bucket of dirt and lies about MJ. This truth was actually the only attraction of the program and without it it would have been totally uninteresting to its viewers.
The authors knew it and used it as a carrot for a donkey. And this carrot allowed them to tell a whole lot of new lies about Michael – “$35 millions paid to 24 boys”, “new FBI files”, “MJ administering propofol himself”, etc.
Exactly. When people have diarrhea they don’t inform the whole world about it.
P.S. If Michael’s lungs were indeed that bad it means that his Discoid lupus turned into Systemic Lupus as Discoid affects only the skin. But Michael was never diagnosed with Systemic Lupus while he was alive and could never tell anyone about it even if he wanted to speak out.
But he definitely didn’t want to speak of his diseases not to add to the “freak” image the media already created of him.

Susannerb, what a dreadful read. I’ve looked up Hydromorphone and its brand name is Dilaudid (a powerful narcotic). And Midazolam again seems to have given a paradoxical reaction of suffocation and all the rest of it…
Though LawMed told me that it was an “excellent drug when used as indicated” Midazolam gives me the creeps. This is why I was absolutely amazed that Klein also gave Midazolam (1mg) during his cosmetic procedures. He probably wanted to blunt Michael’s awareness of shots around his eyes and make him less anxious but to me it still sounds as a terrible choice. And there is no doubt that Michael didn’t know that Klein was giving it to him.
By now I have the impression that Michael was a victim of almost all doctors who “treated” him. And it is all the more surprising that the victim is chosen to bear all the accusations and other people’s guilt while those who did it to him are perfectly all right.

Helen-Marie, thank you for this top important information. I think that an independent UK authority is very much worth complaining to – even if the program aired a couple of weeks ago. After all it was also repeated twice after that (as far as we know) and some people could see it only recently. And the time when it was broadcast is probably not even that important.
What’s important is that they are independent and seem to be really interested in making British TV programs fair and accurate. So with them it is probably worth having a try.
And the more program inaccuracies our complaints list the better it is. This is why let me repeat what Charles Thomson said about the program – he made valid points which I did not cover:

The world thought MJ was weird, strange and wacko because he wore a mask, among other things. Now that the world know about his damaged lungs and the lupus disease, they will understand that maybe he didn’t put on a surgical mask because he was weird.

Nobody on this planet tell everybody they meet in life and at work about their medical records and diseases.

I recorded the programme and pondered on whether I should put myself through the upset and agony that so many other Michael fans who have watched it noted. Today I am going to do so and will mindfully have your notes to hand and will analyse for myself the inaccuracies this programme has to offer.
As of today Channel 5 has received 1084 online complaints, which does not include the letter from the estate or any other direct emails/letters of complaint.
I have looked into the higher complaints commission that would be independent of Channel 5’s own customer complaints and found that only 18 complaints have been recorded by OFCOM which is the Official Broadcasts Audience Research Board.
It was inevitable that Channel 5 would send the same standard letter to all who complained, after all, the programme has aired and the damage is done, what do they care? Ofcom on the other hand do take matters a little more seriously and yet in comparison to Channel 5 has received only a small percentage of valid complaints.

Audience Complaints
Complaints assessed under the Broadcasting Code
Viewers and listeners in the UK have long enjoyed a rich heritage of broadcasting and quality programming. But sometimes you may see something on TV – or hear a programme on radio – which you find offensive or think is harmful.
Every time Ofcom receives a complaint from a viewer or listener, we assess it under the Broadcasting Code to see if it needs further investigation. The Code sets standards for television and radio shows and broadcasters have to follow these rules.
Broadcasting Code
These rules not only cover harm and offence, but also other areas like impartiality and accuracy, sponsorship and commercial references as well as fairness and privacy.
For example, the Code has rules on what can be screened on TV before the 9pm watershed.
If we find a programme has broken these rules, then it will be found in breach of the Code and Ofcom will publish this decision.
In very serious cases, we will consider further action (e.g. fining a broadcaster).
Broadcast Bulletin.
Every fortnight Ofcom publishes its Broadcast Bulletin. This includes the latest decisions about the complaints we’ve received. If you would like to learn more you can read our current Broadcast Bulletin.

The autopsy programme received far less complaints compared to a programme about people on government benefits, which had 776 complaints and Hollyoaks which had 14 on each night of airing!
Although I suggest that the masses now contact Ofcom with their grievances, I do feel slightly unsure as to what this will achieve now the programme has been aired. Although it continues to be available on demand, I doubt the average non Michael Jackson supporter would have any interest in looking for it on the website.
So, if we are to assume that the maximum viewing damage has been done and the usual gutter press have had their views publicised for all to read, I’m afraid Michaels good name has yet again been tarnished and independent minds have had constantly repeated lies reconfirmed.
Putting a small apology in the bottom column of a daily newspaper and a possible fine is all that’s in the future for channel 5 regarding this matter, oh and as a gesture of goodwill they may even take it off of ‘On Demand’.
Maybe you should put a link to your site on every inaccurate story being made.
Re-educate, it’s the only way we can clean up the mess that’s been left surrounding Michael’s name, thank heavens we all have you.

Friends, when looking through some videos from Murray’s trial I noticed that Demerol was given by Klein in the form of intramuscular injections and not into his veins. The injections were made in MJ’s face as “RUQ” and “LUQ”. This points to the place they were made into – the Right Upper Quadrant and Left Upper Quandrant (a quadrant is 1/4 of a circle).
I’m talking of this to show that the re-enactment in the film of “Michael” rolling up his sleeve, having an injection in the vein and falling back on the sofa is completely untrue. It is meant for effect and show only.
The injections were made right in the face (or somewhere in the upper quandrants muscles) and MJ must have been sitting in a special chair in the doctor’s operating room. After that Klein worked on the wrinkles under MJ’s eyes and the temples.
Here is a piece of Klein’s medical records for April 27:
To my great surprise I found that Klein was giving MJ Demerol in combination with 1mg of Midazolam too.

Now here is my little reply to Eddith:
What an understatement.
When people are in prison even the most strong-willed are forced to do what their jailers tell them to.
All throughout the rehearsal period Michael kept repeating: “Why can’t I choose?” because in his cooperation with AEG he was not his own master. Here is the proof:
1) He didn’t want to do a press-conference but Randy Phillips yelled at him so that “walls shook”, slapped him and threw him under a cold shower and Michael had to do as he was told.
2) He had no obligation to do rehearsals but was forced to as he was threatened by AEG and Ortega that they would pull the plug and he would probably even lose his children if he did not come.
3) When Michael said to his fans that he had not agreed to 50 shows he was cut off from everyone around him so that he could not even speak out.
4) He wanted some respect for himself but was humiliated by AEG even in public as Randy Phillips openly declared to the press that Jackson will “dance his ass off” though he is 50.
5) When Michael was already in a bad state Phillips brushed aside all worries and instructed Ortega and the whole production company:
So they knew of his decline but told everyone to shut up.
6) Randy Phillips yelled at Michael practically non-stop. The first time (we know of) was prior to the press-conference but this went on and on until the very end of it. Phillips spoke about it himself:
7) And in addition to all that AEG suspected that Michael was faking his illness and would check in a hospital to stay away from rehearsals and even the tour. And evidently prevented him from going to hospital.
This article refers to a “top member” of Michael’s entourage who was saying the following:
Who could be that “top person” I wonder?
P.S.
The medical infirmity point was not in the contract, but the force majeure point was there and could probably apply. However Michael did want those concerts and was not going to fake any illness as his partners thought. And they did think that way. Remember Kenny Ortega saying in his email a strange phrase that he believed Michael wanted those concerts?
Why was it important for him to assure Randy Phillips and others of it? Only in case they were of a different opinion.

Guys, I should definitely start learning French as I constantly have to translate it into English. This is Eddith’s comment google translated by me from French:
“Thanks to Helena for having responded to my com although I am still not sure of the “innocence” of Jermaine, or that the Jackson brothers would be back on stage if Michael had not died because he refused to remake of concerts with them. ( word of Michael himself)
I read all your articles and I found that, of course, Murray has his share of responsibility for this tragedy, but Michael too. He knew his health problems and yet continued in this way, 50 years old and a father of three young children, he would have had to be more vigilant, and many doctors had warned of the danger ! I know he was looking for sleep and it is frustrating not to be able to get it, but why not make hospital treatment, care under supervision instead of playing doctor in his room? Everyone knows the dangers of therapy at home.
I don’t understand why with his intelligence and his medical knowledge, he persisted, and refused listen to all those who told him that it was dangerous.
Michael was a man who had character and person could not forced to do what he did not want to do that, we have seen throughout his career “we do not say no to Michael”.
Murray is a bad doctor, AEG loved money more than anything and Michael too stubborn to admit that it was the wrong choice at the risk of his life
The most unfortunate in this tragic end, it is the children who will have to live with that absence, and support the media continually.”

Je sais qu’il recherchait le sommeil et que c’est frustrant de ne pouvoir l’obtenir mais pourquoi ne pas se faire hospitaliser, soigner sous surveillance au lieu de jouer au docteur dans sa chambre ? Tout le monde connait les dangers d’une thérapie à domicile.
Je ne comprends pas pourquoi avec son intelligence et ses connaissances médicales il a persisté et refusé d’écouter tous ceux qui lui disaient que c’était dangereux
Michael était un homme qui avait du caractère et personne ne pouvait l’obligé à faire ce qu’il ne voulait pas faire, nous l’avons vu tout au long de sa carrière
“on ne dit pas non à Michael”
Murray est un mauvais médecin, AEG aimait l’argent plus que tout et Michael trop têtu pour admettre qu’il faisait le mauvais choix au péril de sa vie

Today our reader and part-time author MOA sent me a French article about MJ’s autopsy published by Le Monde on July 21, 2013. There are two absolutely remarkable things about it.
The first is its timing. The author of the article suddenly decided to write about MJ’s autopsy 4 years after his death as if it were breaking news and did it right on the eve of the AEG defense opening their case at the trial (the first AEG witness was John Meglen who testified on July 22, 2013).
And the second remarkable thing about the article is that another doctor quoted there repeated Dr. Shepherd’s current statement word for word.
He said (in a Google translation from French):
And Dr. Shepherd said:
Such coincidences usually betray a common guiding hand.
By the way the situation with Michael’s lungs could indeed be poor due to his pleurosy and lupus (which was evidently more extended than discoid lupus), but if this is the case then a lot of new questions arise towards Murray and AEG.
Why didn’t Murray as a general practitioner notice that Michael had a severe problem with breathing and why didn’t he help him?
Why didn’t anyone at AEG pay attention to Michael’s shortness of breath at rehearsals and despite that insisted on him working day and night?
Why didn’t AEG allow Murray to give Michael a sick leave when even the negligent Murray thought that it was necessary?
In short all of it amounts to an even more severe case of negligence for Michael and his ruthless exploitation on the part of Murray and AEG.

Rossana, I absolutely didn’t mean that you shouldn’t watch it – anyone can watch it – I only expressed my opinion that the best treatment of this channel would be to forget about its existence. And I addressed it not only to you but to everyone else who would want to know my opinion.
1) Oblivion is probably one of the best ways to treat these beasts.
2) Another variant is telling them directly that we know what they are doing, so that they are informed about their failure to fool us.
3) And one more way is going to their website and explaining to others what a million lies this channel told its viewers through its travesty of a documentary. But this only in case they do not moderate comments. If they do, then providing information to the general public this way will be closed and then the best solution will be to forget about them and their existence (variant 1) and watch BBC instead. The BBC series about Sherlock is excellent.
And what we think about this program can be expressed in the other media – blogs, forums, etc.

I agree with Helena. Though the content of this program is presented in a very simple way and doesn’t require much intelligence to understand, it was prepared in a very deliberate and purposeful way to reach the masses with a certain gaol – in the disguise of a scientific presentation. The authors knew very well what they did and what was necessary to do to convince the masses. It’s a typical way of brainwash. I would say the majority of the society doesn’t realize today when they are brainwashed by the media. And the media people know it and use it for their purposes. And behind the media there are often others who use the media to reach a gaol. So it’s not only always for profit, but also for a purpose to manipulate the masses in terms of opinions, views, decisions, choices, votes, etc.
So it would be a waste of time to send them responses with rebuttals. They know their agenda very well, and perhaps the sponsoring of a certain company increased in return for their service.
But we have a chance to inform the public and to educate individuals about the truth. I think that will never be a waste of time.

Friends, nothing else could be expected of them.
The answer has many factual mistakes (the autopsy does not say that much about the lungs and Conrad Murray did not “explain” anything “during his trial” – he simply did not testify), but what immediately attracts attention is that the style of the answer is much more “scientific” than the program itself.
So the program is for the ignorant masses while the answer is for the few who are truly informed.
The answer has one other goal – to represent the program in a much better light and those who complain about it in a much worse light than they actually are. The answer looks so serious that if you read it only without watching the program, you will be surprised that “these rabid fans” complain about it at all.
Its authors have now proven themselves that they aren’t just some misinformed ignoramuses – no, they know very well what they are doing.
And if they know it, it’s no use explaining to them their “mistakes”. The lies they tell in their program in a direct or indirect way aren’t just their “mistakes” – they are their INTENT.
The very idea of explaining the lifestyle of the deceased only on the basis of what was found in his body or on the bedside table is absolutely wrong because it does not take into consideration the key factor – that those medications were administered to MJ by another and that it was a homicide.
And it is highly immoral to pretend that “he did it by himself” – no, he didn’t, and the trial proved it unconditionally. And it is highly unethical to explain anything on the part of Murray now trying to absolve him of his guilt – Murray had his chance to give explanations but he never used it, and now it is too late to change history.
Changing history is what Channel 5 is trying to do and this is why the program is absolutely immoral.
These people know what they are doing – they are whitewashing a criminal. And since they know, it is no use complaining to them. If any complaints are to be made they should be definitely not to them. A complaint works when the authors made unintentional mistakes, but it never will if these people are on a deliberate slander crusade.
As someone who lives in the part of the world I live I know that it is no use complaining to skilled propagandists about the lies they propagate.
The only way to talk to them is tell them that we know who they really are. And the only way to deal with the problem is to explain to everyone else what these people are doing and why.

“Your Reference: VA/Autopsy: Michael Jackson’s Last Hours/DT1/C12F (Please quote this reference in all further correspondence)
Date: 17th January 2014
Dear Correspondent
Thank you for your recent e-mail regarding Autopsy: Michael Jackson’s Last Hours.
Channel 5 is sorry that you did not think that it was appropriate for this programme to be broadcast but hopes that now it has been transmitted you can agree that it was a factual documentary which dealt with the subject appropriately and fairly.
Michael Jackson, perhaps undeniably, is one of the great figures of popular culture in the western world. His death was tragic and unexpected. Given these incontrovertible facts, it was clearly in the public interest to explore the medical facts and to throw light on what might have caused his tragic early demise.
You will have seen that the basis of the programme was two-fold: the facts which arose from the autopsy were revealed and examined and, secondly, Dr Shepherd provided his expert opinion about what those facts may have meant, given other facts from Mr Jackson’s life.
So, as the autopsy stated, Mr Jackson suffered from osteoarthritis and had significant damage to his lungs including multifocal fibrocollagenous scars, marked diffuse congesting and patchy haemorrhaging and marked respiratory bronchiolitis, histiocytic desquamation and multifocal chronic intersticial pneumenitis, plus three other lung conditions. On any view of it, this represented poor health in relation to Mr Jackson’s lungs. However, the programme made it clear that, apart from issues with his lungs, in general terms Mr Jackson’s health was quite good for his age.
In the programme, Dr Shepherd theorised about whether or not the cause of Michael Jackson’s lung damage was lupus. This was something he was entitled to do and his theory was backed up by medical and anecdotal evidence, all of which was clearly explained in the programme.
The question of Mr Jackson’s relationship with opiates or opioids is more difficult, but the programme was clear and scrupulously fair in dealing with this issue. It informed viewers about various testimonies on this point: Jason Pfeiffer, the office manager of Albert Klein described regularly admitting Michael Jackson to a Dermatologist for injections of Demerol; during his trial, Conrad Murray explained that he had been giving Mr Jackson propofol for sixty straight days; Mr Jackson’s body was found to contain three different types of benzodiazepans; and the criminal investigation found large quantities of these in his bedroom. The programme made no claim that opiates or opiods were found in Mr Jackson’s body.
However, it was not unfair for the programme to argue that the discovery of multiple benzodiazepans in his body, in conjunction with the many pill bottles also containing benzodizaepans in his bedroom (for intravenous and oral use) and his witnessed long term use of demerol and propofol suggested that Mr Jackson did, indeed, have a drug problem. This was extensively documented in the trial of Dr Conrad Murray.
Channel 5 believes that the broadcast of the programme was entirely in accordance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code. Nevertheless, we are grateful to you for taking the time to contact us with your concerns and your comments have been noted for the attention of all relevant personnel.

Dear Mr. Bulling,
I don’t suppose I am the first person to contact you about the above programme at 10 p.m. 7th January, 2014. I have taken it upon myself for the past four plus years to defend, protect and advocate for the truth, justice for, and innocence of Michael Jackson, who I have discovered was a great man, humanitarian, philanthropist, fighter for the environment and society, as well as a musical genius, of course.
He was such a powerful influential historical figure that he stirred up all manner of dark shadows, jealousy, racist and evil entities, determined to taken him down.
The media were the most threatening in that group, out to cash in on sensational stories about him, even though untrue.
This is why I am protesting against this programme. Would you like it if a television company broadcast a programme showing the autopsy of a member of your family? Think of Michael’s family; his grieving mother now aged 83, his young children aged only 16, 15 and 11, and how they will feel.
I may have read somewhere that it has been pulled, but if not, please consider doing so out of normal human decency.

And the side effects among others, after coming around:Sudden confusion,disorientation, amnesia,poor attentionspan,poor muscle function with poor balance etc etc.I am sure these have been mentioned before.But it came to my mind when I read about the probability of this that Murray was in fact using them, in order to impair Michael for the benefit of AEG and according to plan. The night before June 23&24 he might have had.Propofol only.Thats whyhis performance on the last 2 days was good.To be brief: Michael was poisoned over monhts according to plan. -Murray produced a variety of misleading lies ..and WHAt about Blanket´s observation of RP on Carolwood grounds 24th at night. PDR is not that difficult to understand and I suspect some, like RP, Thome? also were able to read it..And construct a workable brew.Murray had some expierience from his clinics and had for sure worked with anestetists at times there..So only for that he should have known better.

Corlista, to tell you the truth all my posts are difficult to write as they mostly spring from pain and not amusement. Seeing constant injustice done to a good and innocent man who never did anyone any harm and brought people a whole universe of good and joy and is still being paid back with gross injustice only, is painful and makes me go on even when there is no more strength.
But the most agonizing tasks are those where I see terrible lies and who is standing behind them, and others for some reason don’t. This brings a feeling that if I don’t do it no one else will. And moments like these are not for sparing oneself – these are the moments for steeling oneself for the job and doing it no matter what.
However this has a price of its own. Now I understand how those who are professionally subjected to seeing a lot of dirt, blood and suffering – people in the medical profession, criminal investigators, soldiers in a battle – become rougher and have to do their job even in most impossible circumstances. They feel they have no right to break down, shut themselves to tears and simply do what no one else will.
I am not yet that hardened because each photo of Michael on a gurney gave me a shudder but I tried not to stop there and ran forward. But I’m sorry that Susannerb had to subject herself to this. There is definitely a sacrificial element about it.

AEG is powerful enough to have massive connections behind the scenes and in dark corners where no one would ever know. They are the hit men; the people who produced this show are the cannibals. And who in the hell is Terry Harvey? I have read over 45 books about Michael and spent 1000s of hours reading articles, blogs and histories on his life. I have never heard of this guy. Sounds like another Stacey Brown “friend of the family.” Mercenary hatchet men who seem to take sadistic pleasure in the ruination of Michael Jackson.

“Was “Mr. Z” simply lucky for 59 days?” – Lopsided Man
As a separate issue I need to say that we have no other proof that Murray gave Propofol for 2 months except Murray’s words. On the face of it it looks like there is no reason for Murray to lie, but of this I am not sure. Murray has several reasons for lying about Propofol:
1) The autopsy analysis was to show traces of Propofol by all means so there was no use denying it. And once it was discovered it didn’t make much difference for Murray whether it was occasional use or every day.
2) Murray knew that eventually the police would find out how much propofol Murray had ordered from Applied Pharmacies (15,5 liters or 4 gallons). So he was facing a dilemma – claim that he had used all of it on Jackson or admit that he had destroyed his stock.
Destroying the evidence is a separate crime, so a more convenient variant for Murray was to imply that the whole of it had been used for Jackson. Once he admitted Propofol, it didn’t really matter whether it was every day or on occasions only.
I think that he did not use the whole stock as most of it was for the tour proper (and not for rehearsals) and this gives us reasons to assume that Murray did NOT use it every night and the major part of Propofol was destroyed by Murray and his accomplices.
I am even ready to assume that Murray used 1/4 of the stock and left the remaining 3/4 for the two and a half months in London (the first 31 concerts).
This will be some 3,9 liters = 3900ml used within 60 days (minus Sundays).
If divided by every night it would make around 75ml every night or 150ml every second night or 225 ml every third night. The latter variant is the one he gave Michael on the night he died (more than 200ml).
Occasional administration of two 100ml vials of Propofol was probably one of his methods. The other method could be a combination of less Propofol and more Lorazepam/Versed on other nights. This supposition is proven by the fact that Murray ordered both 100ml vials and smaller 20ml vials.
Murray was freely experimenting with Michael’s health and evidently intended 100ml vials for “pure” Propofol nights while 20ml vials were for the combinations with benzos.
“Pure” Propofol left MJ well rested and full of energy the next day. If he received Lorazepam and Versed he was groggy, tired, dizzy and fatigued. Since with every new day in June Michael was becoming more and more disoriented, less coherent and began “trembling, rambling and obsessing” there are reasons to believe that Murray was giving him more and more of Lorazepam/Versed with every new night.
All the symptoms he showed on June 19th are typical of benzodiazepines and not Propofol.
In my on-going debate on a LawMed website its admin said to me:
I naturally disagree with LawMed that it “does not matter” how he got there – for us it matters VERY MUCH, but on the issue of the symptoms Michael was displaying I agree – all of them are the effect of benzodiazepines and not Propofol.
And benzodiazepines were the drugs of MURRAY’S CHOICE.

Lopsided man, you yourself say that this analogy is deeply flawed. In this Russian roulette thing the chances of survival are minimal, while in having propofol the chances of survival are 100% – otherwise it wouldn’t be applied to millions of patients all around the world.
No doctor will use Propofol if it were like a Russian roulette.
Propofol as a medication is not dangerous when in the hands of a conscientious doctor. It becomes dangerous only when it is in criminally negligent hands.
A knife is also safe when it is in the hands of a chef in a restaurant. But it becomes dangerous in the hands of a criminal.
When people take a knife in the kitchen on a daily basis no one says about them that they are “playing the Russian roulette”, right? So why say it about Michael who was absolutely sure that he was given something which thousands of patients receive and that he was attended to by a competent and ethical doctor?
Now we even learn that when making stents in arteries Murray was allowed to use propofol and he most probably did, so he could easily convince Michael that he was well familiar with the procedure. Michael said to Nurse Lee several times over that he was safe as long as he was monitored.
It is absolutely not the same as “playing the Russian roulette”, so it is the analogy itself which is indeed deeply flawed.
It is a typical argument of the AEG lawyers. However I wonder if they will say the same to patients who will undergo surgery under Propofol – “hey guys, don’t do that, you are in for a Russian roulette game”.
They will NEVER say that because they know that it is a big LIE.

Absolutely. It is not only money. The main two goals of this program are:
1) to fully clear Murray of any guilt and make MJ responsible for his death
2) to portray MJ extremely ill and make the viewers think that he would not have survived even another week.
If these goals are fulfilled the parties benefitting from it will be naturally Murray and AEG.
This is why all interested parties are taking Michael’s “addiction” out of all proportion.
It always surprised me that when it comes to Michael Jackson his tiniest fault is turned into a giant one. There were and are lots of real drug addicts (now probably recovered) about whom no one is talking and who are the subject of much respect.
Look at this news about Mick Jagger and Carla Bruni, for example:
So what? Nothing is happening and no one is talking.
Or this news about Johnny Depp and his problems with alcohol, for example:
So what? Johnny Depp is everyone’s favorite actor (mine too), so there is no talk and no sneer but only respect, interest and praise for him (which I wholly support).
Or look at Betty Ford’s example:
So what? Betty Ford suffered from alcoholism and opioid dependency at least for 20 years until the age of 64 when she finally recovered and after that she lived almost 30 years more and died at 93. What a perfect example for us – Michael whose dependency was incompatible with Betty’s could have lived to be a hundred!
Michael had a much lesser problem and he successfully beat it on his own, and he was clear of Demerol for the past years of his life – and they still call him names, sneer at him and trash him for nothing?
It is unforgivable.

May I just emphasize again that this statement is totally wrong:
Narrator: “Six months before his death Michael Jackson announced a punishing schedule of 50 concerts.”
Six months before his death (that would have been Christmas 2008) Michael announced nothing at all. The contract with AEG was signed end of January 2009. There were rumors about a concert series, but the first official announcement of concerts was at the London press conference on March 5, 2009, and it was only about 10 concerts. Michael in fact never announced 50 concerts himself. Information about 50 concerts came indeed from Randy Phillips and it was after the London press conference. I think Michael became aware of this 50 concerts schedule only in April or May. At that time the stress started, Michael began to realize what’s going on, AEG began with their pressure and he began to deteriorate.

Mariam, I think that Dr. Shepherd is indeed an expert but his interview was cut and pasted in such a way that his statements began to contradict one another.
If someone asked me what I thought about the terrible accidents, lawsuits and all the media trouble Michael had to cope with in his life I would also say that I am amazed that he lasted that long.
Or any of us could say the same about Murray giving Propofol in the unconscionable way he did – without proper equipment, allowing it to drip in an uncontrollable manner and routinely leaving his patient alone and speaking on the phone at that. Again it is a miracle that Michael lasted that long.
So taken as it is, this statement doesn’t mean that Michael was “fatally ill”. If the autopsy report said that his body was in an excellent shape for a 50 year old man, then there is simply no denying it. And it wasn’t only Dr. Rogers who came to this conclusion – he had a team of pathologists working on this case. The autopsy report is signed by several people who had taken part in the autopsy process and their report is all that matters here.
And Dr. Shepherd is just reading the paper – same as we are reading it. Therefore his conclusions are incompatible with the conclusions of the pathologists who did the job. It is just an opinion, and a severely redacted one at that.
It is quite possible that the authors left only one statement out of ten made by Dr. Shepherd and that in the remaining nine he was talking about Michael’s excellent condition.
This is a routine practice of media manipulators. They take a text, cut it into pieces, reshuffle the order in which they came changing the whole meaning of the text, throw away 95% of the content they don’t like and accompany the remaining part with their own comment (and sinister music), and here you are – the “product” is ready.

The google translation of the French comment is (guys, please have the decency to do it yourselves in the future):
The role of Jermaine (and Janet Jackson) was introducing Tohme to Michael at the time when there was a danger of foreclosure of Neverland in the hope he would help him. I don’t think there was anything else there. Unfortunately the Jacksons have proven themselves poor judges of human nature who are often mistaken in their assessment of people. Tohme and Terry Harvey are the examples.
They were mistaken even about their own brother thinking him to be a weakling and an addict. They didn’t know a thing about him, even about the trouble he had gone through with all his hair restoration and about how his dependency started, not to mention more subtle matters.
If their career bounced it does not mean they wanted his death. If he had been alive they could have still hoped for joint concerts with him and their careers could have bounced much more.
Who benefitted by Michael’s death? No one did. Even if someone wanted him destroyed it didn’t work their way either.

I also added the words of anesthesiologist Dr. Friedberg, who said that when Propofol is administered nothing else matters except monitoring the patient. Even the amount of it and place where it is given are not that important.
Monitoring is the essence of it all which was completely missing in Murray’s case.
Dr. Friedberg reiterates what all of us know perfectly well – it wasn’t Propofol that killed Michael, but it was the horrendous manner in which Murray administered it that killed him.
Here is one more quote from Dr. Friedberg’s book in addition to what I’ve already included there:
It is the first time I hear an anesthesiologist frankly saying what I always thought – it doesn’t even matter whether it was home or no home setting. What’s essential is the equipment and monitoring. He also emphasized one very important point:
Murray was indeed putting stents in coronary arteries and did it under propofol – so he was perfectly AWARE OF HOW TO DO IT. But he nevertheless ignored all the rules.
Dr. Friedberg said it pointblank: “He could have given Propofol at home. And it wasn’t Propofol that killed Michael”. It was the manner in which it was done:
In another interview Dr. Friedberg said that everything Murray did after finding Michael with fixed and dilated pupils was pure theatrics. He said: “IT WAS ALL FOR SHOW”:
And this channel 5 program is ALL FOR SHOW too.
Considering Murray’s extreme guilt, their attempt to whitewash Murray and shift all the blame onto Michael is a highly IMMORAL and even CRIMINAL thing to do.
And I am not even talking about the number of lies in their program. All of it is ONE BIG LIE with little drops of truth in it which were inserted there for their own benefit – to give it more credibility and draw more people to their product.

Tout ceci est très intéressant merci, mais je me demande encore quel était le vrai rôle de Jermaine dans cette histoire
C’est lui qui a présenté Tohme à Michael qui l’avait renvoyé et qui surprise se retrouve à côté de Jermaine à l’annonce de son décès
A qui profite le décès de Michael ??? pas seulement à ceux que l’on pense il n’y a qu’a voir ce qui se passe depuis 2009
Beaucoup on vu leur carrière rebondir !!

Thank you susannerb and Helena again for your hard work. I was trying today to review the autopsy report and Dr. Rogers testimony and I can’t imagine how time consuming and hard work this is. Thank you and God bless you both.
Dr. Shepherd contradicts himself. He said “You might expect some furring up of the arteries in a man aged fifty but Michael Jackson had no evidence of this. And his heart was in good condition too, so for a man of his age he was in good shape” again at the end he said “In some ways it’s a miracle that he lasted as long as he did.”
His two comments contradict each other. He said he was in good shape for 50 years old and at the same time he said it is miracle he lasted up to age 50. He is lying and he is 100% in this dirty game but trying to pretend as he is professional and expert. He is not truthful, decent Dr. as he trying to look like, actually his body language and his eyes tells you much more.
He lies about MJ’s overall health; he also tried to show how MJ was addicted so that how his health is damaged because of that. Again said “The toxicology analysis looked for but didn’t find Demerol and that shows that Jackson hadn’t been taking the drug for some time” I thought they are all saying he is addicted for Demerol?
Dr. Rogers is a Chief of forensic medicine, Depudy Medical examiner. He worked since 1988 for 25 years in forensic medicine. I believe Dr. Rogers testimony because he is more decent, experienced and the court and jurors believed him as truthful and respect his finding.
So what is Dr. Rogers said about MJ’s overall health?
Dr. Rogers: ‘He was healthier than the average of his age. He did not have heart disease, his coronary artery do not show any arterioles crosses build up” and even Dr. Rogers said, it is unusual because most of the people in his age has that but not him.
Dr. Rogers: LUNG “found some chronic inflammation and scar in the lung” but he did not say that was life frightening or cause of his death, or he did not said it is affected/caused because of the drug Michael took or caused from his drug addiction as Dr. Shepherd trying to portrait Michael Jackson. In fact, the autopsy said as below abuts MJ body and organs and general observant of his health.
Autopsy ”The KIDNEY are normally situated and the capsules strip easily revealing a surface that is smooth and dark purple” Normal.
Autopsy ” The LIVER consistency is soft and cut surface is smooth. There is a normal lobular arrangement. The gallbladder is contains 10grs of bile and no stones. There is no obstruction or dilatation of the extrahepatic ducts. The periportal lymph nodes are not enlarged”
The LIVER is the main organ that could be affected by long time drug abuse, yet the autopsy report makes all people(AEG, Murray, Dr. Shepherd, some MJ’s fan, all those tabloids , ch5 …..) are wrong who is trying to label MJ as a long time hopeless drug addict.
But this is the fact and the truth we rely on and that is why we defending MJ. We have to believe the fact over tabloids sensational, because they are doctors, we could not believe all they said, we have to always check their motive and sincerity. Now days, doctors and professionals are doing anything for money and for fame; this is a sad reality in our time.
For response to Dr. Shepherd “THE AUTOPSY DID NOT SHOW ANY TRAUMA OR NATURAL DISEASE WHICH WOULD CAUSE DEATH” therefore, chronic lung inflammation isn’t what killed MJ, “high blood concentration of propofol, as well as the presence of benzodiazepines” killed him, Murray killed him.
The main and hidden mission of CH5 is not just to make profit only, but it is also trying to clear Murrays conviction of his crime which they are most likely sponsored by AEG. If you notice on the documentary, even though Murrays action is unacceptable by all medical people and millions of people in the world, most of all, the court convicted him as guilty for killing MJ, but Ch5, did not mention or condemned Murray or for his wrong doing. They did not say even simply he made a mistake. That is amazing, the Dr. who was sentenced for 4yrs for killing somebody did nothing wrong for Ch5 instead they tried to show that MJ killed himself.
They actually try to show as Murray was a victim. Here is Pro-Murray comment:
“Murray was right for manipulation”
“But his doctor Conrad Murray had no idea Jackson had been taking this drug” Because MJ cleaned more than 10 years he was no more dependent or addict for Demerol, he had pain killers or Demerol or protopol for legitimate reason the last 10+years that proved in court in AEG trial
“15 minutes later Conrad Murray reenters the singer’s bedroom.” Murray’s phone conversation is not only 15 minutes
“smiling and making dance moves. he was devious and the king of manipulation” Ed
I don’t understand these peoples, so what is normal for them? If dancing or smiling is a manipulation, what is not?
But here is the testimony from Dr.Rogers and other experts from Murray trial.
Dr.Rogers: “in mouth or oral air way nothing fined” No propofol or no Demerol no nothing, only “small amount of fluid, 70mg of dark fluids not showing tablet and capsule cannot be discerned”.
Poor Micheal he did not even eat his lunch that day, found small amount of fluid in his stomach.
Dr.Rogers: “the circumstances do not support self-administration of propofol” and he explained why based on Murray police report and also based on how propofol is working, how should be given propofol in order to make MJ sleep longer time.
The conclusion of this pro-Muarry campaign is as per the court and the juror’s decision, Murray is guilty of killing MJ and there is no any prove and possibility that shows MJ took propofol either orally or by injection.
And based on the autopsy result, Dr. Rogers said, it is homicide even MJ took all those drugs by himself. That was the autopsy result concluded.

Nina, I haven’t got a single doubt about it. This is a made-to-order job.
I also thought that way, but was later told that Phillips’ sister and and Tohme are unrelated (just the same family name).
However this UK program is related to AEG by much closer ties – by the common absurd version of the events they tell, by whitewashing Murray whose interests fully coincide with AEG’s now, by the company that screened this program in 2013 and was AEG’s trusted press agent in 2009 too, by James Desborough who is in the center of this program and who wrote fabricated stories about MJ during the AEG trial for the Daily Mirror (sponsored by AEG according to Charles Thomson), by all those “coincidences” when these programs/articles appear just at the right moment when AEG needs it most, by the exclusive information to Dr. Shepherd which he could receive only from the AEG people, so on and so forth.

Yes. I am sure that AEG were behind this programme, especially now as Katherine Jackson is appealing to a higher court for a second trial. I read recently that Tohme Tohme is related to Randy Phillips, CEO of AEG, and Phillip Anschultz is connected to the Bank of America, all rather chilling and seems to support a plot.

Terry Harvey is a back stabber and greedy who can sell his own family even for just 15min fame. He seems very entertained by Michael death and getting attention. If he is close to the family, he is very disrespectful to them and betrayed them, how can the person who knows the family or friend co-operate with this kind of dirty, dirty game, knowing that it is very painful to the family and torching them. What a man? What a human being?
Unfortunately, Jacksons are always surrounded by those betrayers and greedy people and later they stabbed their back or sold them for just 15min fame or for attention, I don’t know why.

After seeing the program first, writing the text down and then reading it again, I see more and more that it is much worse than I expected it to be.
It’s crystal clear that this “documentary” directly plays into the hands of AEG Live. It suits their agenda very well and reiterates their views in the civil trial. In no way the authors refer to any of the expert witnesses of the plaintiffs or to the testimony of direct witnesses who where present at the events. Like Helena said, almost every sentence could be replied to with a rebuttal. However, in the end it is a very minimized portrayal and there was not even much information in it except the superficial conclusion that MJ was a life-long drug addict who could not be saved anymore. The authors probably thought that this is the only necessary piece of information to stick in the minds of the viewers.
It’s a disgusting piece of the worst tabloid style and I would really like to hear Dr. Rogers’ or Dr. Shafer’s opinion on it. They probably would just wave it aside, meaning this bullshit is not worth a comment – in a medical sense.
But we are here to vindicate Michael, so we cannot leave it uncommented.

Funny when the death first happened I was actually led to believe Michael was in a coma before dying..but with the lies watching the program would make me want to throw things at my computer screen–I am amazed Michael hung on for as long as he did but for different reason..because when his tongue blocked his air passage and Murray wasn’t by his side to correct the problem it would mean he suffocated for at least a month and a half..
That pic with the bones rubbing together looked extremely painful..no wonder Michael hurt so much…
