Synopsis

On June 25, 2009, American singer Michael Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills.[5] His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said he found Jackson in his room, not breathing and with a weak pulse, and administered CPR on Jackson to no avail.[6]

On August 28, 2009, the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled that Jackson's death was a homicide.[7] Shortly before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered propofol and two anti-anxiety benzodiazepines, lorazepam and midazolam, in his home.[8] Law enforcement officials charged Murray with involuntary manslaughter on November 7, 2011.[9] and served two years of his four-year prison sentence, early release per good behavior.[10]
