The fact that the passing of maybe the most legendary performer of all time has occurred fifteen years ago is difficult to fathom.
Michael Jackson was a very divisive figure because of the roller coaster of emotions that he experienced throughout his life, from extraordinarily high points to low one driven by rumors.
No one can dispute, however, that he was a near-unmatched trailblazer in his industry; that the âKing of Popâ is considered a musical genius on par with the likes of Elvis Presley and The Beatles is evidence of his immense talent and impact.
The unexpected death of Michael Jackson stunned the entertainment industry and the globe on June 25, 2009.
The Thriller icon passed away at his Los Angeles home while getting ready for a fifty-date residency in the United Kingdom. According to Jacksonâs personal doctor, Dr. Conrad Murray, the singer seems to have gone into cardiac arrest minutes after being given a strong dose of propofol and benzodiazepine to put him to sleep. Murray also noted that the artist had ceased breathing.
Medical personnel tried everything to save Jacksonâs life, but it was too late. Murray called 911, and two hours later, he was pronounced dead.
Dr. Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter following an inquiry and autopsy, adding to the anguish and grief experienced by millions of fans worldwide in the wake of Jacksonâs passing.
Even though Murray did not give 50-year-old Jackson the sedative lorazepam on the night he died, his defense asserted that he had taken eight tablets of the drug throughout his trial.
According to his defense team, âa perfect stormâ was produced in Jacksonâs body when he self-administered propofol and lorazepam after Dr. Murray left the room.
âWhile itâs unfortunate that this happened, the evidence does not point to Dr. Murray as the culprit.â
The prosecutionâs conclusion that âmisplaced trust in the hands of Murray cost Jackson his lifeâ led to Murrayâs four-year prison term.
Even though it has been fifteen years since the incident, Dr. Murray has brought up Jacksonâs last sad words once again.
The anaesthetic propofol was allegedly requested by Jackson, who referred to it as âmilk,â during his manslaughter trial, according to Murray.
This is all that truly helps me sleep, so please, please, give him some milk,’â Murray told the jury during his trial, according to the LA Times: â[Jackson] stated.
He was already familiar with this medicine; its name is propofol.
No matter what time I get up, he insisted on just going to sleep.
âI consented to transition to propofol at that moment.â
After giving the medication to Jackson, Dr. Murray reportedly stepped away from his side for two minutes to use the restroom. Yet, by the time he got back to the bed, Jackson had ceased to breathe.
