Details on Michael Jackson’s autopsy, possible drug-related death

The details of Michael Jackson’s death are slowly leaking out and it sounds like drugs played a role. Jackson’s personal doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, said he tried to save the star’s life with a shot of adrenaline.

Murray reported that he plunged a syringe into Jackson’s chest, trying to reviving him after ingesting a lethal cocktail of prescription drugs on Thursday.

The doctor was recently hired as Jackson’s personal cardiologist and hoped the shot would restart Jackson’s heart, to no avail.

An autopsy has ruled out foul play in Jackson’s death, but Murray was questioned by police Friday regarding his actions following Jackson’s passing.

Murray is not a suspect in the singer’s death and police have established their investigation is not a criminal one, but that hasn’t convinced the Jackson family of the doctor’s innocence in the matter.

Family friend Rev. Jesse Jackson (of course, when there’s drama, when isn’t he a “family friend”) told to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper: “Something happened to the doctor. He left. The police impounded his car. His absence raises questions of substance that will not go away until they are answered.

“Any other doctor would say, ‘Here’s what happened in the last hours of your child’s life.’ But he can’t answer the police questions – he left the scene and left his car. Who picked him up? Why did the police investigators impound his car?

“He owes it to the family and the public to say, ‘Here are the last hours of Michael’s life.’”

Craig Harvey, the Chief Coroner of LA County, completed the three-hour autopsy of Jackson. No cause of death has been declared and additional testing has been deemed necessary, the results of which will be ready in four to six weeks.

There is thought to be, no foul play and no external trauma was found on the body. Further testing include neuropathology, pulmonary and toxicology.

At the time of his death Jackson was taking a deadly mix of drugs, which included Vicodin, Dialudid, Xanax, Soma, Prilosec, Paxil, Demerol and Zoloft – a mix of painkillers, anti-anxiety tablets, anti-depressants and muscle relaxants. He is believed to have been administered an injection of painkiller Demerol an hour before his death.

Jackson had a number of personal doctors at the time of his death and it is unclear as to who prescribed him what or who administered his daily doses of drugs. Reports say the star’s family wanted to force him to go to a rehabilitation clinic two weeks ago, but gave up after the star refused.
