Michael Jackson is believed to have been given a prescription drug that is a powerful anesthetic by his personal doctor so he could get some sleep. The authorities studying the matter believe that it killed the pop superstar.
The said official also gave a glimpse as to what the mansion Jackson was renting looked like and even described how Jackson’s room looked like with all the oxygen tanks and IV drips. Another Jackson bedroom is filled with clothes and other items such as handwritten notes that had been stuck on walls. There is even a note there that reads “Children are sweet & innocent.”
Jackson is said to be receiving propofol regularly so he could get some sleep and he’s been to reliant on it for so long. The drug is being administered to him intravenously when he needs to get some sleep and the doctor stops the drip when it’s time for him to wake up so he had been pretty much getting his sleep when he has propofol administered. On the night that Michael Jackson had died, the same drug was administered through an IV just after midnight.
