The final images of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, lying on a hospital gurney.
LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 11: A photograph from the coroner of Michael Jackson's body is projected by the prosecution during Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial at the Los Angeles Superior Court on October 11, 2011 in downtown Los Angeles, California. Murray was charged in the death of singer Michael Jackson who died of an overdose of prescription drugs, including propofol and lorazepam, in June of 2009, he pled not guilty to murder, and was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to just 4 years in prison.
Michael Jackson was addicted to several prescription drugs, he struggled with insomnia which is why he took the propofol, which is an anaesthetic only used in operating theatres and should only be administered by an anaesthetist. Propofol slows down the breathing, so he basically had so much of it that it stopped his breathing, which stopped his heart and lead to his death.
Despite looking so thin in the photos, he was apparently of an acceptable weight for his age and height according to the coroner, and the bruising and damage seen on his chest would’ve been as a result of efforts to revive him.
He was 50 years old, he had been addicted to numerous drugs for over a decade before his death, but there are other interesting factors of the autopsy report that contributed to his death.
