Other drugs detected were: Midazolam (Versed), Diazepam (Valium), Lidocaine (topical anesthetic) and Ephedrine (used to treat hypotension associated with anesthesia).”

    i want to say that his doctor give him to much of peels and drugs i believe that the doctor walk out the room in went to the bathroom for a hour in came back in died he was supposed to stayed in the room with michael jackson because you supposed to watch him when he is sleep in im mad at the doctor because he gave him that drug propofol and thats strong.

  4. Elain says:

    The only reason the death is being ruled a “homocide” is because is a huge celebrity. The doctor is guilty of medical malpractice and punitive damages but I don’t believe the charges of homocide – ie he intended to kill MJ – fit this situation.
