i think the best thing to do to the doctor is to strip him of his doctors license world wide. this would destroy him more than putting him in jail so he can live off of the tax payers money. if they take away his rigt to practice medicine and be a doctor that would destroy the man more. everybody that was close to michael should of stepped in and got him off of the drugs cause we keep losing our good entertainers to drugs.

i think michael jacksons doctor killed him because he gave him all of that medicine to tae and he probablyhad him over dose on purpose so i believe that mj doctor killed him

jerika why would the doctor kill his meal ticket on purpose? Based on what I've heard so far he appears guilty criminal negligence and perhaps manslaughter. To suggest deliberate murder is ridiculous.

Jackson's doctor was egregious to administer an anesthetic to his patient , without respiratory support, at a home setting. That said, it is not easy for many doctors in this country to say no to their patients, especially the rich, powerful, tenacious and manipulative ones. Across America there are patients who are their own worst enemies. The ones with deep addictions are known to pester their doctors persistently, use blandishments, threats and lies to get what they want. They will feign pain, always 10 on a scale of one to ten; say they will die from want of sleep if they are not given sedatives immediately, claim severe incapacitation from drug withdrawal and crippling anxiety, even as they beseech a reprieve just one last time from their misery. They will also promise they will never ask again for the same drugs. Jackson's doctor knew him too well. The doctor patient relationship had blurred. Jackson was an overwrought and troubled man. The doctor was vulnerable and he crossed the line. May be money was the lure, but misplaced pity was probably at play too and inability to refuse the wishes of a rich and tortured client, so tolerant to addictive drugs that large dose were small potatoes to him. Jackson probably begged the doctor for more and more powerful stuff so he could be put out and be ready for the grueling performances slated for his renaissance and rescue from financial doom. The doctor knew what was at stake for Jackson if he did not rest or sleep and the singer was probably unable to fall asleep no matter what the doctor gave him. Doctors dealing with addicted patients have only one choice--send the patients to the nearest rehabilitation unit and refuse to feed the addiction. Unfortunately our richest celebrities are also the most addicted and they buy themselves weak or unethical doctors whom they can browbeat or manipulate into submission.

I miss Michael Jackson, and his music.

Any doctor with a little bit of ethics would have known that sedating a patient with propofol daily to treat chronic insomnia was a lethal weapon. No matter what happens to the "doctor" now, our KING OF POP is dead, and nothing will bring him back to us.

I agree with Anonymous. MJ was able to afford to have his own personal physician, whom he could manipulate to feed his addictions. One may question whether the purpose of MJ's comeback tour was in ORDER to request a personal physician to cater to his towering, inexhaustible demands, especially when you hear that MJ received nightly doses of propofol for six weeks. MJ was on a collision course with death, plain and simple. Where could the addiction to propofol go?? He found a pliant, ethically-questionable, and cash-poor MD who would do ANYTHING to keep this new client, a cash-cow if ever there was one. Very likely, the night MJ died, Murray tried all night to get MJ to see that one cannot live on nightly doses of propofol - gave sedative after sedative. And these were EXTREMELY high doses of those sedatives, too. Two doses of Ativan 2 mg IV? On top of 10 mg of Valium, and two doses of Versed?? I imagine by 10 am, the doctor was exhausted, and had no more fight in him. Undoubtedly, MJ (having not slept all night, and being disoriented from the meds and no sleep) was hysterical, threatening to fire him unless Murray gave the propofol. The doctor gave in, ignoring professional prudence, and of course all of the meds in addition to the propofol caused MJ to stop breathing. Murray is guilty of not standing firm and using solid professional judgment - better to lose a gig as MJ's doctor while maintaining professional standards, than to be in the position he is now. If MJ wasn't so addicted, so powerful and manipulative, and if Murray wasn't so weak, then MJ would be alive today. Plain and simple.

I miss michael also, it was a sad end to quite a sad life, I pray he is at peace his genuine talent did not bring him a lot of happiness.

This was not just MURDER, this was an EXECUTION.

I can see why "the doctor" posted as Anonymous. The poster is an idiot who is trying to blame Michael Jackson for administering drugs to himself. Murray is no doctor, and the person "defending" him here is also no doctor, and a person who has no common sense nor understanding of what doctors are responsible for. Murray played God and got caught and so now people are going to blame Michael Jackson for his own death!!!! OMG what a sick group of people we have living in this country.

Murray and professional do not belong in the same sentence. He is a hack doctor who got caught. Period.

Anonymous, shame on YOU for hiding and not revealing your name. Oh! Wait! You are a Murray Minion!

Poor MIchael, I wish I wish this hadn't happened. I hadn't realised what he was suffering, not being able to sleep, with all that rehearsing he was having to do, it must have been terrible. Why didn't these doctors say no no no, money is the root of all evil. Will always love and miss you, Michael Jackson.

I would like to add that not only should the doctor be questioned for competency and negligence, it is my contention that it should also be considered that he is part of some sort of conspiracy. I am no expert but a quick research on the drugs that Doctor Murray admitted to administering to Michael Jackson makes it hard for me to believe that as a medical professional he would not be keenly aware of the likelihood of a deadly outcome. A person's size and weight also have to be considered when administering drugs. In any event, this man is guilty and although I doubt that Michael if he could speak from the grave would accuse him of anything, I personally feel that not only should he lose his license, Dr. Murray should be in put under the jail!

Oh Please!
All the drugs Michael Jackson had in his body before Propofol was probably enough to put an elephant to sleep. The proppfol injection was done specifically with the intentions to kill him.
This doctor is a murderer.
RIP Michael Jackson

Well with all the meds the doctor gave MJ what did Dr. Murry expect? I believe he kept giving him the drugs so that he would stop breathing and when he did Dr.Murry waited until he knew there was no chance to revive MJ.

Why do you think he would do that, Que? ---gm

everybody that was close to michael should of stepped in and got him off of the drugs cause we keep losing our good entertainers to drugs.
----------
what makes you think they didn't all try? The man was a junkie. He slept with iv's in his body, the veins in his arms and legs were destroyed by injections, he was reduced to shooting up between his toes. That's how bad it was. Nobody held a gun to his head, made him enjoy the needle. Remember, Mama, others, were stopped at the gate by his 'bodyguards.' How could any of those MAKE him stop whining and complaining until he got shot up. Injunctions done with the intent to kill him? Get real. The minute he died, the circus folded. None of those who could have "killed him" will get a cent from the Estate. Unless you're thinking Mama, the kids and LaToya were behind it.
Wake up, use common sense.

What if Michael Jackson WEREN'T Michael Jackson and he was like any other junkie on the streets? He'd have been forced to go to seedy dope dealers to get what he wanted. Had he died then, who would they blame, who could they charge? It's only because it's Michael Jackson that people care or want to blame someone, anyone, OTHER than Michael Jackson. He was a common junkie and he DIED like a common junkie and everybody needs to just learn to live with that fact. It's sad but it happens every single day.

Michael always had issues with insomnia. He did most of his creative work at night and he could stay up all night when inspiration came. This is an interview here in the 90's in australia where he talks about it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CTNV_qLTKo

He always worked he never rested so i am sure that through the years he really got worse and had not been able to rest. Plus if you had to add all the BS that he had to deal with from false accussations etc.. i think anybody will at some point break down.. The doctor i truly belive he kill him ..

Lets remember all the things he did but was not always put in the media: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo1aa1eHJ-k

Man, everyone's got Michael Jackson figured out, don't they? Why didn't they try to learn about the man--his philanthropic success, his full acquittal by a jury of his peers, etc., etc., etc.--while he was alive? Because people are clueless lemmings and mainstream media kowtows to that.

We call for vindication of MJ by mainstream media. MJ was exonerated by a jury of his peers. Not good enough. For his children’s sake, mainstream media must become more responsible. We discuss how truth can compel mainstream media to publicly admit it wrongly accused MJ of despicable crimes. Many people still believe MJ was guilty. They were influenced to believe the allegations by a biased mainstream media. No links allowed here so search at Yahoo Groups for "vindication better than tributes."

all the sh*t that has happened in the years. like the crap of child abuse's we'll the person that did kill him must have fort if he gets back on his feet will he do it a gene but did he do it in the first place. i dont think so i have always loved mj's music and i still do now. but the person that killed him is no better than the killers on the street.

Debra, well Michael was not a junkie, he did so Many things for so many people. He was alwyas a positive inspiration for MILLIONS.. it does not matter what you haters write or say NOTHING can make us forget him and admire him

i love micheal jackson. i used to have some of his jackets that he performed in. and now i have most of his albums and songs that he has ever made from childhood singer to the king of pop.
I LOVE MICHEAL JACKSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 ever and always!!!

Debra, well Michael was not a junkie, he did so Many things for so many people. He was alwyas a positive inspiration for MILLIONS.. it does not matter what you haters write or say NOTHING can make us forget him, we will be always lOVED but US his FANS and the new generation that has been doing lots and lost of tribute to him.

I think this is horrible. I think Micheals doctor is the one who killed him. They found a bloodie tee-shirt in his closet that hasn't even been worn yet!!!! And they found diffrent drugs in his room.

I HATE THE PERSON WHO KILLED THE KING OF POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an addict in recovery and couldn't agree more with anonymous. As addicts we are cunning and manipulative, willing to do anything to get that next dose. Yes I said dose; I was a precription addict for 10 years. Once I got clean I went to all my Drs, told the truth and insisted they NEVER give me presciption opiates again. I cut off all ties with those I bought extra from. And like Debra said, if you take away all the toppings MJ was a desperately sick addict who no one was willing to say no to including Dr. Murray. I'd be willing to bet this willingness to acquire and prescribe was part of the interview. Instead of passing judgement please say a prayer for the addict who still suffers. One by one we find our way to recovery if we are willing.

i think youre all just being silly. im 19 and my father died in april in a very similar manner to michael jackson; an overdose. all you people need to stop worrying about him. he is dead, let the man rest instead of fighting about whether or not her was a junkie, whether or not he f*cking inspired people. we all do f*cked up sh*t. we all make mistakes, and, most importantly, we all die. nothing really matters in the end except what michael was thinking the moment he died. idc if he was a junkie, a terrible artist, or a fabulous one, we all can agree that he was troubled by many issues while he was alive, and even though it is sad, cant you just take comfort in the fact that he is at peace? youre all acting like children bickering about this. none of us knew him so NONE of us can sit here at our little f*cking computers and judge him.

This guy needs to go down for murder.

And the media needs to get off of MJ. As the tox reports show he was not addicted to the pain killers that the media claimed he was. According to the warrant, all of the pills at his bedside were legally prescribed to him. No illicit drugs, no large traces in his system. Propofol killed him

Should he have gone to a sleep center for his insomnia? Absolutely. But he didn't deserve to die at the hands of an incompetent doctor who took an oath to do no harm.

Michael Jackson was on the greatest entertainer that ever lived in my lifetime and a person with a kind and giving heart. Justice must be served!

For those absolutely poor, I think a doctor like any neighbor should be liable for what he does getting paid or not. I can see where any doctor can put out tons of money and say to himself, because this jerk hasnt paid me yet, I have to do what he wants or I get fired taking a loss for what I already put out to this thieving leech. But for rich doctors playing games with rich celebrities both having $100 million one year and gone the next, I think karma is there. They get from the game they play both doctor and patient. The poor who worship celebrities will die the same absurd ways all overboard celebrities die. The bible promises resurrection to both those both right and wrong, whatever Michael is regarded by his mother, he will be among those wrong who are resurrected. Live as he did again and he will die soon again. As for, me Jehovah may think his message of resurrection promise is more noted thru a Michael, but as for the counter worth of his promise to someone more worthy, I think he will provide someone here at Mount Ararat for me.

I really miss Jackson.If it is true that somebody killed him,Oh God have mercy.

Sorry Keyara, but Michael WAS a drug addict/junkie, what ever you want to call it. I know he did a lot for many people but that does not mean he was not addicted to drugs. Most addicts are really good people at heart and cheat/lie/steal to support their habit because they do not have the fat wallet that Michael Jackson did or the connections that he did, or have doctors willing to give them pills because they are world famous and they are 'star-struck'. The ordinary junkie does not have these options. His doctor was so impressed with him, wanted to be near him and associated with him, that he did what ever Michael WANTED or DEMANDED him to do. His drug history goes back many years. He got away with being an addict because of who he was. Most people have to suffer consequences, go to jail, lose their jobs, homes, etc. before they hit bottom and get clean. Michael, being himself, did not have to suffer those consequences and his addiction was allowed to grow and progress. I work with addicts every single day. I like Michael Jackson but I know he was not a God. He is a MAN and he made mistakes and because he was not made to suffer the consequences of his actions, he paid the ultimate price. Maybe you should direct your anger towards the people close to him in his life that allowed him to continue with that behavior.

Dr. Conrad Murray is going down!

There is no shame in posting anonymously. Nor does it necessarily mean one is 'hiding'. Ever hear of the word 'privacy'?

Ok, Yes, the doctor needs to be held accountable for the OD. But people, can we please put the lion's share of the blame where it belongs? Where is that you ask...The Addict...Michael Jackson. This man was an addict - he begged for these medications knowing full well how dangerous they were.

where Martin Bashir is hiding..??? he is the one who first injected the poison in "MJ". He must be hanged! he is the reason "MJ" s life was miserable and he started taking drugs. Martin Bashir is silent and hiding quietly somewhere in the hole!

"MJ" the whole world is missing you so much! We loved you so much! :'( :'(

INDIA: What planet are you living on? Martin Bashir? He's on the cable news EVERY NIGHT!!! How do you manage to jump to the conclusion that he had anything to do with MJ being a junkie?

Bashir's statements that "Neverland" was a "dangerous place" for children"
broke him. It killed him. He took a long time to die, but it started that night. Previously the drugs were a crutch, but after that they became a necessity....and this so called "Dr" ?????.... Conrad Murray did further job...they both killed MJ the super human,creative,talented,entertainer..the dearest person on this earth.

Dr. Conrad Murray neeed to be tried for murder charges. He cLearLy didn`t know what he was doing if he kept giving doses of 3 other medications aLong with the powerfuL anesthetic PropofoL. As a medicaL Doctor, he shouLd`ve known better to administer this drug outside of a hospitaL setting. Yes, MichaeL was an addict but a docotor shouLd know how to treat an addict and not just give him whatever he wants! Even if MichaeL begged for the drug, he shouLdn`t have gave him and it seems to me that he onLy did it for the money. He aLso made other phone caLLs before caLLing 911 . . . why is that? WhiLe on the phone, he shouLd`ve noticed MichaeL wasn`t breathing. He aLso tried to revive him on a bed, cLearLy another mistake and a doctor shouLd know you need to b on a hard surface. He shouLdn`t have a doctor`s License in the first pLace. He wasted criticaL time and i hope his famiLy seek justice. He administered the drugs and he shouLd be punished, MichaeL is gone after aLL, he can`t come back.

Wow, to think that this man experimented with drugs this way and killed the King Of Pop. It wasn't Michael's experiment. Michael did not concoct this deadly cocktail. This doctor was experimenting with extremely potent drugs to help Michael with insomnia? Drugs are never the answer to anything. I'm sorry that Michael didn't understand that. This is ridiculous. I think the doctor who sold the propofol is a drug dealer, and should be put in jail too. He created the addiction.

Regardless of interpretation of Michael's personal life the dr. acted recklessly and he absolutly knew better and if he didn't then he put Michaels life at a greater risk by not being a trained professional dealing with such medication. The news is heartbreaking and the dr should have just said "No" in better professional judgement regardless if Michael pleaded for anything. RIP Michael! God-bless his family

In re: Martin Bashir. I can't remember what country it is (I assume it's an Indian country) has a contract out on him for what they percieve as crimes against their messed up laws. I seem to remember that he brought some truths to light that the leaders of whatever country it was didn't really want the world to know. Don't make a story that is about a junkie and an unethical doctor about Bashir. I saw his interviews...he tried to tell the junkie that his lifestyle and habits were going to give people the wrong ideas.

The doctor will go down for negligent homicide or manslaugter. For those misguided MJ worshippers there was no murder. I seriously dowubt the docotor would have ever intended to kill someone who paid him the kind of money that Jackson probably did. As for accusing Bashir voicing your opinion right or wrong has no bearing on what Jackson did.

I aggree with Maria. Michael was not junk. He is junk only for the evil and jealous people who cannot see good in themselve. How can they see good in others? They all will answer one way or other. At least have some respect for his dead body. Can you imaging insulting death personne as if he was the cause of they are own parents? Please you evil haters think before you say something like that orthink about yourselve. I think you evl haters you don't have any love for your own selve how can you have for other. No matter what you say the world will never forget Michael Jackson's love, talent, charity, selfgiving and many more he did for ungreatful people you who are looking only his bad side, but I tell you he had touch the whole world with his message. I pray for his soul to rest in peace. And I pray for you evil haters to repent if not you going to run the world with you bad judgement. May God bless you evil haters of Michael Jackson and help you to loving person He created you to be. Michael rest in peace. Ilove you so much. You are in our heart forever no matter what people say. I love Michael. RIP

While I agree that any doctor I have ever known would have never administered that kind of combination of drugs we have to remember one thing...Michael was the one who was saying yes or no. Ultimately he is responsible for himself and his actions. I too fell a sense of loss but if this docotor wouldnt have done this michael would have found/paid someone else too...

Florence Lanlenou - We did not say MJ was "junk"...we said he was a "junkie". There is a difference. Subtle but different.

I assume you are not an American by your grammar/sentence construction.
Junk=rubbish, second-hand goods
Junkie=addicted to drugs of various types

You're welcome.

I realize that Michael was loved by alot of people (including me) for the acts of kindness he did. He was an accomplished humanitarian. But he is still responsible for what he put into his body. And he went even further to pay people to break the laws surrounding his drug use. I also feel angry to a degree that Michael did this to himself and to all of his fans. The world has lost an asset......

A nice distinction, NightRider, but remember: "Junk" doesn't just mean trash or rubbish, it's also slang for drugs. That's where the word "junkie" comes from.

DEBRA:

Whether MJ was an addict or not doesn't matter. The topic here is about a doctor's unethical medical practice, or neglicence -whatever you want to call it.
A patient died under Conrad Murray's care and that's a fact.
Why is that so hard to understand? are you idiot or UI?

To make it worse for this doctor, his patient happened to be the most gifted entertainer that ever lived.
But his greed led him to this, and that is also a fact.

Our KING has died. I just hope he had finally found in Heaven the perfection he always pursued on earth.

MJ - Mexico loved you so much! - Still do.

And.... INDIA, I totally agree with you. I truly believe Bashir pulled the trigger for MJ's misery. He dealt with so much BS throughout his life and kept walking tall. We literally saw him getting consumed by such an awful trial he did not deserve. At least he was finally acquitted.
But no doubt, the man behind all that freak circus is Bashir. Thanks to him that clan I don't even want to name learned he was worth $1 billion and so he sowed the seed for a lawsuit shot!

And he is happily living in NY like nothing happened. He was "jogging at central park" when he learned of MJ's decease, as he himself told in his TV news segment.... That's right folks, Central Park!!!!!

At least MJ died in peace, asleep just as he wanted so bad.
But a man who did no good shall not be that lucky. Bashir and Murray won't have that luck!

Princess Michael the doctor should and will pay for his negligence. However stop playing Jackson as the victim. There is no acceptable excuse for using the drugs he used. The doctor didn't force them on him he wanted them. Had the doctor done what he should have and refused to get them Jackson would have simply found another doctor who would do it. That doesn't excuse what Murray did, but Jackson bears equal responsibility for his death. Bashir regardless of your opinion of him also had nothing to do with the death. You seem to want lay the blame on everyone accept the person most responsible Michael Jackson.

I definitely think that Dr. Murray should be indicted for manslaughter or murder for Michael's death. I worked in a methadone maintenance program for over 30 years. All the drugs that Dr. Murray gave Michael were all benzodiazapanes which suppress his breathing. The propocol that the doctor administrated that morning just added to the suppression of his breathing. He then leaves the room, and obviously did not come back for some time. I think that when he did come back to Michael's room, Michael was dead. That was supposedly at 10:40 a.m, and panicked and went looking for Michael's children. An ambulance was not called till after 12:00 p.m., and when the paramedics came Michael was dead. Also, who doesn't know that when you adminster CPR, you should not be on a bed, you should be on the floor. Dr. Murray was being paid something like $150,000.00 from A&G per month to go with him on tour. Michael was such a wonderful and gentle person, with a heart of gold. What a big loss for his 3 beautiful and loving children.

Princess: I am not an idiot, thank you. I happen to work with addicts EVERY DAY. It's my JOB. I know about their behavior. Michael Jackson would have bought his drugs in back alleys if he were not Michael Jackson. Would YOU refuse him anything? From the tone of your post, you practically worship him. He was a man. Yes, he was extremely talented and did much good with his life, but the good is only one aspect of him. You blame Dr. Murray but in reality, Michael Jackson had an addiction for many years before he ever MET that man. Who is to blame for Michael's addiction? MICHAEL. If you saw a dirty looking dope fiend on the street corner panhandling for change to get his next fix, you would pass him by, feel absolutely disgusted with him, and you would know nothing of his personal life or history. But Michael Jackson doing drugs is acceptable because he could sing and dance? Who is the idiot here?

i think that its sooo dumb that when MJ was a live people made fun of him now they all want to know everything about him i mean come on. also i know how he feels i have insomnia to but i dont take drugs. i just stay up all night. except i sleep for half an hour everyday thank god.

Absolutely agree. Even if he was Michael Jackson, the doctor has the responsibility to first "do no harm" and sometimes it means protecting the patient from himself. Furthermore he should've reported the patient to the proper people when he first suspected addiction. Why in the world would someone jeopardize their career for a few thousand dollars is beyond me. You earn your medical license through years of painstaking hardwork and when you do something to destroy your reputation, you're destroyed for the rest of your life.

if michael jackson had been sentenced to life on child molestation charges he would have died a lot sooner, but whatever.
someone posted a police interview video of Gavin describing what michael did to him, onto youtube in 15 parts search “the untold story of neverland”
compelling!
must see tv.
apparently it was released on DVD last week for sale, so i'm sure they'll remove it ASAP.

From EVERYTHING I have read, it was IMPOSSIBLE to say no to MJ... if he wanted it, he could get it. There were enablers. The doc says he was trying to wean him off of profofol. I believe that. Yes, perhaps he was wrong in administering the drug, but if it wasn't him, somebody would have done it.

ps. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5aNDIs4ETw

DEBRA:

AGAIN... this is NOT about Michael Jackson. This is about a MAN dying under a doctor's care. Get real. If the issue has been maximized it certainly is because the man was widely known -so please forgive the man for being such an important deal!
Why is that so difficult for you to understand?? (you will insist you are not idiot though!)
Also, by working with addicts you should know better about their behaviour and the fact that they develop a CHEMICAL need. I'm sorry but I do not believe someone becomes addicted to prescribed drugs on purpose, that is THE RISK whenever you are in need to use them (I have a sister that won't go to sleep if she does not take her pill every single night!) so yes, if you choose to go ahead and use prescription drugs uncarefully it would be your fault if you become addicted.

RAVENSFAN:

I did in no way try to blame others for MJ's addiction to prescribed drugs, but for his misery. You should really pay attention to what you read!!

You said I worship the guy. Why? because I mentioned his achievements?.... the FACTS?
-The man was a complete deal, undeniably the best performer ever -way on top of my fav band!-.
-He had great talent and was fully respected by many currently famous and not so famous artists. He also was many's inspiration.
-Many impersonate him, but no one can fully imitate him. You can tell it's not MJ.
-The man broke SEVERAL records of sales, attendance, awards, sponsored charities, to name a few.
-The man was an exceptional activist.
-The man always tried to do good things for people (forget about what he did to himself, that's not in question) and he got betrayed by people he helped and cared about.
Just like in his lyrics: knives on his back and arrows at him!
-His trial consumed him right before our own eyes. Witnessing people you helped in some way coming up saying terrible things about you must be devastating to anyone. How often we do or say certain things that are perceived totally different by another person and in no way means what that other person understood? That is how your intentions get easily twisted. That would be an unfair treatment for ANYONE. Even you got the wrong idea of me worshiping the guy for simply saying he was our KING... so wasn't he... of POP? Or perhaps when I said "Mexico loved you and still does"?... isn't that a FACT? Am I Mexico myself???...
I could go for looong, but I hope you got the idea.

And, TO BOTH:
I noticed you can't stand a person trying to understand the human being behind the star. You should try once in a while to be a little sensitive to other people in trouble. He had his issues just like everybody else does.
I also noticed... Why is it SO important for you to convince everyone that MJ was an addict and deserves no simpathy for his troubles??? You got issues!
Can't you understand followers just want him to have a respectful treatment based on his successful career, at least now he's dead?
Do you really believe we ignore MJ was walking on the edge??
Do you really think we are not aware that it could have been Dr.Smith, Dr.Gomez, Dr.Doe, Dr.Anybody??? Sorry for the guy, but it was Dr. Murray.
MJ could have died quietly by OD himself just like Elvis or Ledger but again, sorry for the guy, but he was OD'd by a Doctor.
Do you also think we did not KNOW no one would say NO to MJ? But it's funny how others did and walked away. Why Murray couldn't? He is just paying the price, plain and simple.
How fool are you??

I know Dr.Murray must be the most sorry person on earth for MJ's death but that doesn't free him of responsability on the FACT that he died under HIS care and by what HE administered to him.
On top of that and to make things worse for him, he acted awfully suspicious.

I think I have a point.

Change - Over!

Princess Michael that id says it all right there as far as worship goes. Best performer ever is your opinion and not something that can be proven. I'm not saying he wasn't extremely talent, but to call him the best performer ever covers a lot of ground. I never said he was a bad person, but he isn;t the only person to help others or work as an activist in fact many have done far more with far less. He also isn't the only person to suffer hardships or be misunderstood. Keep in mind his own conduct made many of those hardships possible. His conduct at the trial was a great example of that. Your problem is you are too full of hero worship to look at him objectievly.

As for your second paragraph if so many knew he was walking on the edge why did no one do anything? Which people said no and walked away? Face it you haven't got a clue what you are talking about. Your idol is dead and you are having trouble dealing with it. What happened was a tragedy but Michael bares as much of the blame as anyone. I never said the doctor has no responsibility. He most certainly does and in the end will pay for it.

RAVENSFAN:

WHATEVER-YOU-SAY.

Happy now??

I worked in hospitals for about 5 years, and though it never happened while I was there, we were shown a film on our first day of work about Dr's and nurses telling their personal stories of how THEY were careless and killed a patient by giving wrong meds or or giving the wrong dosage. And you saw how sorry they were and how truly bad they felt. You felt sorry for them as well. You could tell they would have rather been the one who died. These things really do happen out there in the real world. But it is NOT OK. We are hearing so much about this now because it was our beloved Michael. I just don't know how this Dr. thinks he can fool us all by making excuses. Why does he keep making excuses? There is no other explaination for this death other than HE messed up big time. And he should just admit it and show some sympathy. Oh, I could go on and on, but I won't. I am still very upset and hurt by the death of Michael. It is very hard to heal from all this. I myself didn't even know how much I cared for MJ. I will never forget him.

We all have to be responsible for our actions and decisions. Ultimately Michael was for his and the Dr. needs to be also. Bashir needs to be for his also, he is not hiding but on Nightline every night like he's done nothing wrong.

I agree with you ravensfan. People are so sad about his death that they have turned him into some type of infallible God. And Princess Michael, I take offense to being called an idiot. I am entitled to my own opinion, as you are. We'll see if Dr. Murray really does go down for this. The police, the media, and the psycho fans from hell are all out gunning for someone to blame and apparently it's him. I feel sorry for the guy. Don't try to tell me that if you were a Doctor and Michael was under YOUR care, you would not have done EXACTLY what he ordered you to do, you'd probably even go further than Dr. Murray did...see how hard it is to say NO to Michael Jackson? The point IS, he got away with being an addict BECAUSE he was Michael Jackson. Other addicts would never have gotten away with the things he did, like getting prescriptions in different names, having people go to doctors for him and turn the pills over to him, etc. They would have been ARRESTED and jailed! Michael Jackson was breaking the law Princess. He was completely and fully aware of what he was doing. I know, no one says 'I want to grow up and be a dope addict'.....but it happens! Like I said before, his fame and money allowed him to NOT hit bottom and therefore his addiction just grew and grew to monstrous proportions over the years. He was never held accountable for his addiction. So if he bought dope off of Slinger Mikey on the corner, do you think that Slinger Mikey should have been held accountable? If so, EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR that prescribed him medication should be tried along with Dr. Murray. They ALL enabled him in his addiction. Throw his wonderful family in there too.....Oh, sorry, they're all famous and semi-talented too, so they're EXCUSED, right?

Maria: I agree with you. Many geniuses have insomnia and Michael has always said he didn't sleep much, because he was always thinking and creating. I read an article where Kenny Ortega who was directing his This Is IT Tour, told Michael he needed to get more sleep, but Michael said the higher forces were giving him creative ideas at night. Kenny told him to get the ideas after the concerts were over, and he replied he couldn't stop since then Prince might get those ideas. I have 6 years of university and consider myself intelligent. I teach high school Math. I used to have these anxiety/sleep issues and was taking xanax and ativan. The low dosages didn't work at all and the symptoms just get worse until you get help. In my case long term anti anxiety drugs and therapy solved the problem. My doctor says the anxiety/depression / sleep problems are all inter -connected. I think Michael had these issues, but his situation and life had made it far worse. Noone can relate to what it was like to be in his shoes. His pressures,his personality, his loneliness from having to hideout from paparazzi for years, his family dynamics, growing up a child star and never really having a normal life. One thing I've learned from Michael Jackson, is to be more empathetic towards people. We should try to empathize with Michael and what he had to deal with, just as he empathized with sick and poor children, people of other races, the world and it's condition. Out world would be a much better place if each of us emulated Michael's thoughts and actions.

He was an idiot and crimally negligent. He housed up his mistress and got her a nice car, joined the masons (he's touting his masonic regalia in his laweyrs' firm homepage) and had a fat sizable amount of cash waiting for him from MJ, he had it good.

What he forgot was that he was a doctor and not a drug pusher to pump whatever the heck he could think in Michael. Doctors have become pushers it seems, and there's no sense of not enabling an addict or finding a solution for a sick person to get them out of their desease, insomnia in this case.

He was also an incompetent idiot. You don't give a man tons of various sedatives, mix them all up and superaugment them thus while completely disabling the liver's response. And then you top it up with a surgical anaesthetic for crying out loud...Jesus Christ man, just give him the damn propofol at the beginning at least if you are to give it to him anyway, not after you've turned him into a sedative shop list. Of course all that is common sense, but Murray seems to be thick as a brick.

He's also a disgusting hypocrite, and his video where he says he has got god on his side is just repulsive.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE MICHAEL JACKSON
~~Forever and ever and ever~~

I agree with the first part of the article.. The word NO would have been the best MEDICNE and solution to his death!!!!

wether michael jackson was right or wrong to ask for it is irrelevant because if he did he's an addict so the doctor who's job it is to look after jacksons health should have declined. But this guy was clearly one of the many dr feelgoods out there or whores which is a word best used to describe these people.

Princess Michael I got no joy out of busting your bubble on Michael Jackson. If anything I feel sorry for you because you probably still don't get it.

i like the article...no matter who the patient is no matter who the doctor is there are strict rules to follow..what is illegal to be administered at home is illegal..can't be any arguement about it

Has anyone been asking themselves how MJ could even have been begging for propofol when he was under the influence of so much medication, and HOW Dr Murray could have listened tot hose demands from someone apparently so highly dosed up on drugs already? Or how Mj could even have been with it enough to know what was going on and have any personal judgment about what he needed???? Come on people he had so many drugs administered by the MD already in his body ( he started dosing him up late at night...10, 11 hours later he's STILL giving him meds to sleep???) he couldn't have been in any frame of mind to be able to judge what was needed. That's what Dr. Murray should have been doing. That's his job.
I will alienate a lot of people with this next comment but i think this whole ting went way deeper and beyond Dr Murray. Someone posted that no-one stood to benefit from his death, but of course Sony did.......look at the sales since he died. The family of Mj have stated that they were kept away from him for the last weeks...read anything about MJ and his family and one things is clear, that he loved his family and was close to them...I don;t believe that the orderes to keep his family away came from him.
BOttom line is we'll never know the truth; everyone here is relying on media to report it, and with varying degrees of gullibility, still swallowing whatever we're told. Which as far as I can see, is still the same old bs as ever.

So karencanda are you saying Sony had him killed? Wouldn't they have stood to make more if he lived and kept on recording and performing over then long haul. Who kept his family away? You do a lot of speculating and accusing but there isn't anything to support such wild speculations. I guess you believe the police are being paid off as well. I hate to say it bbut yu sound like another Jackson worshipper looking to place the blame for his tragic death on anyone except Michael himself. The doctor will be prosecuted and if there are others involved so will they. No matter what I'm sure you will refuse to accept the reality that Jackson's drug addiction killed him.

hello :))

i think he should be arrested !!!

It was poor judgment on the Doctor's behalf. PERIOD. I mean, was he really willing to do any and everything Michael requested? MJ shouldn't have been at home, but in a Therapist's office. No one should have to turn to drugs and if they do NO DOCTOR WITH ANY SENSE, KNOWLEDGE, AND MORAL VALUES WOULD THOUGHT TWICE ABOUT ADMINISTERING LETHAL DOSES. NEGLIGENT AND HE IS VERY MUCH SO IRRESPONSIBLE! A patient can only get drugs from a doctor. I'm not in a position to judge another, so I can't say what his punishment should be. It was illegal, Michael got the drugs from him and he is responsible, it's that simple. He should have known better and if he paid attention in Med School, HE DID KNOW BETTER. wth?! SO I wonder how long this trial will last? Either way, he has to answer to God.

Sony knows Michael Jackson would have gotten back his own catalogue from Sony (his own -- MiJac -- catalogue) at the end of this year. That thing is now humongous. It may have even helped him get back the 50% of the Beatles catalogue that Sony/ATV have now. So follow the money, people. I am not surprised Sony/AEG appointed Murray the Incompetent Liar as Michael's Jackson's live-in doctor -- a man who was shooting a powerful anesthetic into Jackson nightly and didn't even THINK to buy a defibrillator in case something went wrong. Just follow the money. Bashir, ABC (who have hired Bashir), AEG, Sony, ColonyCorp. The trail is deeper and much, MUCH more meandering than we all think.

applehead I followed your accusations do you have any facts. Do you have anything showing the doctor was appointed by Sony? The way I heard it was Murray had gotten to know Jackson in 2008, after treating one of Jackson's children in Las Vegas. Jackson summoned him in May 2009 to Los Angeles to help with preparations for the London concerts, then insisted that his concert promoter, AEG Live, hire Murray to accompany Jackson in Great Britain. Instead of making accusations why don't you relax and let the police do their job and see what happens.

Thanks to all for participating in this discussion. I'm sure there will be plenty more to talk about as new developments come to light.

Unfortunately

Murray is lying.

Murray claims at around 10 am is when Michael begged for propofol. Oh really? Michael usually had his breakfast around 9:30 am to 10am and he had to be at rehearsals at 2pm.

If he was really concerned for MJ, why did he wait 2 hours before calling the ambulance and why was the fireplace blazing in June? Oh right yes I forgot it's because Michael was cold alot even though he had a heavy comforter on his bed.

I think people just want to think MJ was a horrible person because it's what the media wants you to believe. WAKE UP

It's all about ratings. Making MJ look bad and sensationalizing him makes more money than showing what he was really about.

Michael saved children. A child needed a liver or was going to die and MJ saved that child.

Gavin was a cancer patient told that he had two weeks to live and his last request was to see Michael Jackson. Michael let him stay at his home until of course Martin Bashir edited the documentary to make MJ look really bad which provoked the greedy mother of Gavin to press false charges on MJ.

The media wanted him to be found guilty so that they could run marathons around his name to generate $$$

Guess what though. It's not all just the media, it's viewers too! The media thinks we're all stupid and will blindly follow whatever they say as they are in control of information and often cite freedom of the press to do it however it's abusing the intent of freedom of the press to act like a bunch of corrupt sociopathic journalists who don't view the people they are making money and ratings off of as human beings.

The only way to change this is stop giving them ratings for their witch hunt games. People are addicts of false stories which ruins people's lives. It's a downgrade on our society and the way people treat each other is a product of what is allowed in our society that is corrupt.

It's up to you to wake up.

The good doctor was incompetent, but the pedophile Whacko Jacko was a demented drug addict. It is a shame that the evidence uncovered at Neverland (drugs, drugs and more drugs) was not used to develop a case against the depraved pedophile Whacko Jacko. Had the sorry disgrace to humanity been imprisoned for either his uncontrolled pedophilia or drug use, he might be alive today but for the fact that his "fellow" prisoners would have wasted him! Such a sorry looser!

Re NightRider: Oh, please. Martin Bashir was not some hero trying to help, he was just another leech out to make a name for himself by first twisting the facts and then telling the whole world all about it. He's not an objective reporter, he's a condescending, judgmental, self-serving boor whose most recent claim to fame is making offensive remarks about women. He's been censored for unethical journalistic practices and should be run out of the business and forced to sell Michael Jackson commemorative plates on ebay for a living.

I'm a peon and even I know not to give something so dangerous as Diprivan on top of other sedatives. What was this doctor thinking? He was being paid 150,000 dollars a month, so he gave in to his pleading, and begging. Unbelievable.

Just a note:
AEG did NOT want to hire Murray - Michael insisted on hiring Murray and to accompany him on his tour. So sad, so very, very sad....

Reading the comments from people on here blaming Michael Jackson for his own death and making excuses for that 'doctor' just shows how willfully ignorant, ill-informed and self-righteous people can be. Not to mention the blind resentment many have towards people that are rich and famous. Automatically, just because Jackson was a celebrity, he 'asked for it', he 'begged' to get LETHALLY INJECTED by Conrad Murray, he 'got what he deserved'.

Get off your soapboxes and purge the "Michael Jackson was a junkie" crap from your brain and let reasonableness, common sense and dare I say, even a bit of empathy for Michael Jackson's situation--I know for alot of you that's like pulling teeth, since you've been conditioned that Jackson was a subhuman who doesn't deserve anything but criticism, ridicule and judgement.

What doctor in his right mind is going to inject all of these breath-suppressant drugs in someone within a VERY short span of time and then top it off with Propofal? Conrad Murray claimed he gave Michael 25l of Propofal; but that amount isn't enough to put anyone out past just a few minutes. Also, Murray claimed around the 10 o'clock hour, Michael 'demanded' propofal. Well this is absurd, not to mention a bold-faced lie based on 2 things: First, Jackson's chef, Kai Chase, said that Jackson would be eating breakfast around that time,(between 9:30 and 10:00) and Dr. Murray would come down to the kitchen and bring the breakfast up to Michael's room. On June 25th,(day of Michael's death) she noticed that routine was broken. What was going on that particular day to make Michael's REGULAR DAILY routine to be broken? and Secondly, Jackson was due to attend rehearsal that day at 2:00 and before he left for rehearsal, he would eat lunch with his children at noon--which was also part of his daily routine. Now why on June 25th, did Michael (according to Dr. Murray) demanded propofal to get put out KNOWING full well he had to get ready to prepare for a full day? The people at the rehearsals said Jackson said he would be with them at rehearsal that day of June 25th. Also, why did Dr. Murray make several phonecalls after he found Michael Jackson wasn't breathing? None of those calls at the time was to 911 but among the calls he made were to his assistants in Houston Texas to clear out his office. Clear his office of WHAT? There was some very suspect and shady things Dr. Murray was doing during that time period when Michael Jackson died, including turning the temperature up HIGH in the summer--which would affect the body temperature of a dead person and making the time of death difficult to detect. People, stop being so ignorant and blind with your own 'issues' with Michael Jackson and use reasoning. Murray's excuse that Jackson 'demanded' drugs just doesn't fly, doesn't make sense.

And as for Jackson's prescription drug dependancy, which he admitted to in 1993, in the earlier months of 1993 he had reconstructive surgery on his scalp due to 2nd and 3rd degree burns to his scalp in 1984. That was a painful process he went through and he needed pain medication. That was also the same year just a month or so later when he was accused of child molestation while he was about to go on tour in Asia. All of those things combined were ENOUGH to make ANYONE become addicted to medicines to help ease not only physical pain, but also mental and emotional pain. Did any of you people realize Michael Jackson also had Lupus, which requires various prescriptions? Also Jackson had various painful injuries over the years--including back injury he suffered during a performance years ago. Yes, he had and took various prescriptions, but it was for LEGITIMATE reasons, not to get a fix or a high. And just because of his past dependency on prescriptions DOES NOT MEAN he was going through an addiction during the last months of his life. In fact plenty of people that were around him stated Michael jackson was in good shape, he was eating a healthy diet and he was on a regular exercise regimen and he wasn't drugged up nor spaced out like people have been led to believe. He was about to leave that week to go to London to set up for the shows.

Something happened June 25th to throw everything off and instead of wagging the finger of shame and scorn towards Michael Jackson, you better look at Dr. Murray alot more closer. He's not the poor, star-struck doctor who gave in to the demanding Jackson like the media wants you to believe.

All and all things turned out as good as could be expected for MJ.

Yes the medicine killed Jackson. But that medicine prolonged Jackson's borderline sanity an additional 10-15 years and likely prevented prevented his suicide.

At best without the medicine Jackson would have been in a padded cell for the severely mentally ill many years ago.

And no one could have prevented anyone with Jackson's wealth from finding a source of his chosen medication.

Finally for all practical purposes Jackson had hired a private mobile hospital which exceeds the standards of most rural and private hospitals that are licensed for public health care business...and which could legally have provided the medication if they saw cause.

Of course now everyone judging that the only legal and proper course for MJ to be treated was the more traditional middle class route for health care. But consider most public hospitals would have instead seen Jackson committed for mental observation and started the legal proceedings to strip him of the ability to manage his wealth. Ultimately the public hospitals would have turned Jackson loose on the streets since he posed no serious threat to anyone but himself.

He obviously didn't want to kill him. He was his meal ticket as the other person said. He was just incompetent and unethical. And you don't have a universal license by the way. Most doctors are only licensed in the state they practice in. But that is all over for him.

Michael Jackson was a junkie. Junkies sometimes die. Perhaps the hero worship from the fans screwed him up. Perhaps not, as I will never know what it was to "be" him. If he didn't like his life he could have changed it years ago - his fate was in his hands alone.

He and his physician showed extremely poor judgment and the result was death. Any person with any sense at all could foresee this as the inevitable outcome. The doctor will get his license taken away and will go to jail.

I'm not a fan of Michael Jackson but it's unfortunate that another human being died before their time. Fame and riches does not create happiness.

I agree with 'Kiz'. Everything she said is what i wanted to say. There's way too many ignorant people that don't want to look at the real facts because it doesn't interest them but yet, they think it's alright for them to make a snap judgment about Michael from what the lying scum media say. He was an amazing man, he gave ridiculous amounts to charity, he saved peoples lives and he cared so much about the world. One of the greats and no amount of sensationalism, can take that away from him. I hope he's happy and resting. Love you Mj. :) x

I miss him too. He was not only super talented but very sweet as well. Sheryl Crow said we will never see anyone else of his musical caliber in our lifetime and , I believe, she was right.

debra, you are really a dirty person with a derty mind, go to hell.

NightRider or what ever your dirty name is, you are really a junky!!!!!!!!!!

All it would have taken was for the doctor to say No, No No.MJ would have been in a rehab centre somewhere and not in his coffin.But how could that be when the doctor is a money hungry leech!

most of think michael jacksons doctor killed him because he gave him all of that medicine to tae and he probablyhad him over dose on purpose so all believe that mj doctor killed him. where i too belive the same.....

OMG KIZ. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH. you don't know how refreshed and deeply touched I am. I felt like I was drowning, suffocating in a world of blind mindless sheep who won't listen. They looked at me as if I belonged in a mental institution, while I felt like I was already in one, talking to retards...
thank you.
FUCK THE TABLOIDS. RIP MICHAEL. miss you so much.

The doctor should have ATLEAST supervised him at all times, but he left the room, therefore its all his fault. He's a murderer.

You're right... You're no medical expert.

He was an addict

"I'm no medical expert, BUT..." I love it. A way to totally say whatever the heck you want about anything medical but without the accountability. Thank you so much for your insight into "potentially lethal brew"s and how just saying "no" is the best medicine. You're right, Michael's doctor should have known better. He should have consulted with you before making any medical decisions.

I don't think the doctor did anything wrong. Does anyone have his number. I have some neighboors to take care of.

Is the doctor related to Dr. Kevorkian? that may explain everything.

happy b-day michael

Once again, the media have thrown up another red herring regarding Michael Jackson and like a great multitiude of sheep, we're all in danger of buying into it. The events that led to the death of Michael Jackson were set in motion long before Murray ever signed off on his first dubious prescription. For over 20 years, Michael's spirit had been gradually eroded and wilfully attacked by a hostile media and a careerist District Attorney. The unprecedented hostilty of the media and the willingness of the new online tabloid sites to publish anything for any amounts of money, led to a pile-up of unsubstantiated vicious stories that amounted to nothing once investigated. The hunting of Michael Jackson became a national sport, one that anyone with an eye on ratings could indulge in. This is what brought Michael to the precipiece of needing oblivion every night. What are we? Who are we, that we can do this to a beautiful, transcendent, talented, gentle human being who quite clearly couldn't take it in the end.
Michael, you are Immortal and in time, I know the truth will unfold. For me, and millions of others, we are already there - we love you Michael.

We always will..

I am an anesthesiologist,and I have used propofol in my practice for twenty years. Propofol 25milligrams is a very low dose,and will not kill anyone. However, generic propofol contains sodium bisulfite. Anaphylactic (severe allergic) reactions to this preparation, leading to death, are documented in the literature.

There are many "facts" and "truths" to a lot of the back and forth here...the bottom line is this: As a doctor you take an oath. Could it be true that Michael Jackson was begging and demanding Dr. Murray to administer more drugs to help sedate him? Absolutely - that could be and probably is true. However, Michael Jackson is not a doctor. He was an addict and all an addict knows is that they want MORE. They don't care what the cost is. They are not able to think rationally. While the repeated requests may have been daunting, Dr. Murray had a responsibility - not just to Michael Jackson but an ethical responsibility to his calling as a doctor. The drug he was administering historically was a drug only to be administered by an anesthesiologist. If Dr. Murray was a responsible physician he would have refused to administer the drug in the first place. At the very least it is definitely criminal negligence. However, if you look at the facts a little closer, on the basis that Dr. Murray was administering the drug to Michael - and Michael was not administering the drug to himself, this is definitely manslaughter.
Just a quick comment to "Debra" who equated Dr. Murray to a "seedy dope dealer" and inferred that if Michael Jackson were not rich and famous then Dr. Murray (a.k.a. the seedy dope dealer) would not be considered a suspect in his death.
What you have to understand is that Dr. Murray was not a "seedy dope dealer". He was a doctor who took an oath. It's like comparing apples to oranges...other than the fact that they are both fruit, there's no comparison. If anyone would like to see more info on the powerful drug Propofol - including the dangers of the drug and how it should be administered, you can check out the following link:
http://www.sedationfacts.org/sedation-administration/non-anesthesiologist-administered-propofol

This is about a patient under the care of his personal doctor. The doctor FAILED to look after his patient and gave hin a fatal dose of medication and then, by his own admission, left the room. The doctor is 100% guilty and MUST face charges. The doctor was reckless, negligent, incompetent and complacent.

After reading the limited coroner's report and biographical info about MJ, as well as this article, I don't think we have all the information yet.

What I DO know is that MJ had a serious drug addiction. Several articles talk about the multitude of needle marks all over his body, including between his toes. That's the mark of someone with serious drug issues.

Of course we're talking about MJ. He would never go to rehab because at his level of addiction (30,000 pounds sterling per month) he didn't see himself as having a drug problem.

I am not saying that his attending physician isn't culpable. It's obvious that he was dosing MJ with a cocktail that would eventually kill. I just don't believe he did it intentionally. Why kill your paycheck? So he IS going to go to jail. BUT every other doctor that contributed to MJ's addiction to prescription meds should be tried as well. They are just as guilty as MJ's personal doctor.

That being said, drug addicts are highly manipulative. They'll threaten, cry, fake it...whatever it takes to get their fix. So MJ is just as responsible for his own condition as the people who enabled him. And PLEASE don't tell me he was the victim here. He put himself in the position he was in by demanding the drugs in the first place.

As for the people who are claiming some sort of conspiracy; grow a brain. Think these things through. No one conspired to murder MJ. It was just a horrible event brought on by everybody on Planet Jackson and their inability to say one simple word to MJ. "No.".

I thought Michael was going to be cryogenically frozen? So why on earth are they burying him? Is it not better to let him 'rest in peace' this way?

Can we please bury Michael Jackson already? How long has it been?

Yeah, it's not rocket science, all those different types of drugs were bound to be lethal. And clearly something is not right here, I don't blame the family for alleging fowl play. And the sadness is I guess we will never know... though I hope justice can be done, because Michael's children deserve that at least.

hey the only person who really knows what happened and the truth is michael hiself. i feel and sense there is a lot more to this than just murry... but i dont believe for a moment that michael would do anything to hurt his children and mom by risking dying or do it to himself. the media does nothing but lie and we all know murrey is a lier to the max. i believe when the issue of all them drugs all over his house came out it was his staff not michael. they blame michael cause that is the easy way at the same time not one staff person had one good thing to say about him. i love michael and everything about him but with all the storys etc there is no telling of the truth. for ever story told even if it is a lie there is money involved and ppls get paid.. i only have one question... are they sure with out a dought that it was michael that died... one third of all the pics on internet are his double or imperssonator. 24 percent believe michael is still alive and it is perhaps due to the fact the truth has never been told about michael.. and everyone including the media want to make money off michael. i read alot in here. your all so devoted to michael but also devoted to truth... i commend you for being here to support what you believe is the truth.

Boy Sandy,

You sure have a nasty mouth. No need to cuss like that.

Kiz.. You have it right. My sentiments exactly & I've been wondering how no-one has been mentioning that nothing that Murray says is adding up... This is a Conspiracy but guess what, we'll never get the absolute truth. MJ will always be tortured/tainted by the media/LAPD/SONy etc. We miss him terribly but he is now free from the hurt & pain. Lets just give our support to his Kids & his Mom who are really feeling the pain right now. PEACE MICHAEL..

I think what everyone is missing is that first and foremost drug addiction is a serious illness and should be treated as such. Yes Michael asked, begged and manipulated to get drugs, but that is typical behavior of all addicts. Dr Murray was one of many doctors who did not excercise professional judgement, ethics and dicipline. Being starstruck shouldn't hinder your ability to make sound decisions for the betterment of your patient. The right thing should have been..... if ANY of his doctors felt that Michael's celebrity would hinder their ability to properly care for Michael as their patient, they should have released Michael as their patient. Its very sad because Michael was surrounded by major enablers, no one was willing to stand up to him for his own good and now this Talented, Giving,Tortured person is dead. And only one lone Doctor will carry the heat.

Bashir, Arvizo, Sneddon and AEG are the people you should be looking at.

He Faked His Death

Bravo ravensfan--you broke it all down to the most concise and logical truth. It was a perfect storm, and the doctor was trying to right the ship--wrong though his actions might have been. What a Catch-22 situation for everyone--Michael especially. The doctor must have known the liability though--but then they probably ALL do--but dollar signs cloud their judgment and decision making capacities...and the innocent--and guilty--suffer.

ALL THIS MEDIA BS IS TREATING MICHAEL JACKSON AS IF HE WAS NOT A HUMAN BEING,,,FOR GOD SAKE TAKE A WEEK AND WALK IN HIS SHOES HE COULD NOT HAVE A NORMAL LIFE AND THE LIFE HE CHOSE WAS HIS CHOICE SO BUTT OUT,,,,,HE DONE SO MUCH GOOD FOR THE WORLD AND WE FORGET THAT OR WANT TO FORGET,,,HE HAS 3 BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN AND THEY DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BS THAT HAS BEEN WROTE ABOUT THERE FATHER BIO OR NOT HE IS THERE FATHER,,,,,I WONT BUY A TABLOID OR MAGAZINE THAT HAS MICHAEL JACKSON NOT PORTRAYED AS WHAT HE WAS AND THAT IS THE KING OF POP AND A TRUE HUMANITIORIAN,,,RIP MJ

BOTTOM LINE... DR. CONRAD MADE THE MISTAKE OF GIVING SOMEONE(MICHAEL JACKSON) DRUGS THAT KILLED HIM.. DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF MJ WAS A JUNKIE??? THATS NOT REALLY THE ISSUES HERE ..HES GONE (I WISH HE WASNT)THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE DR GAVE SOMEONE TOO MANY DRUGS THAT HE WAS NOT TO HAVE GIVEN UNLESS HE WAS IN A HOSPITAL.. COCKTIALS OF DRUGS THAT WAS IN HIS SYSTEM AND IF THE DR HAD NOT GIVEN IT TO HIM ..HE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY... DOESNT MATTER IF YOUR A ROCK STAR OR A SCHOOL TEACHER WRONG IS WRONG... AND THE LINES WERE CROSSED AND NOT ONLY DID MJ AND HIS FAMILY GOT HURT THE WORLD GOT HURT.. LETS FACE IT WRONG IS WRONG AND NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO BRING MJ BACK BUT BECAUSE HE WAS SICK IN SOME WAY(JUNKIE OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT... CANT SLEEP..THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE DR IS GUILTY OF KILLING HIM... WHEN YOUR SICK AND YOU HAVE TO TURN TO YOUR DR FOR HELP THE DR IS TO SAVE A LIFE NOT TAKE IT.. WHERE WAS THIS MANS OATH??? TO PROTECT AND SAVE A LIFE... HE JUST THREW ONE OUT THE DOOR... HE WILL BE FOUND GUILTY.... BUT IT WONT BRING MJ BACK AND HIS CHILDREN HAVE TO FACE THE WORLD WITH OUT A DAD... ASK YOURSELF THIS WOULD MJ WANT EVERYONE TO FIGHT OR WOULD HE SAY JUST VENT WHAT YOU WANT TO AND THAN LET THE OTHERES HAVE A SAY AND THAN SHAKE HANDS... AND UNDERSTAND EVERONE HAS A VOICE... HE WAS A PEACE-FUL KINDA MAN.. BROKEN IN THE END BECAUSE THE PEOPLE DIDNT BELIEVE IN HIM AND OTHERS TRIED TO HURT HIM... BUT HE STILL WANTED TO THE WORLD TO HAVE PEACE.. RESPECT HIM AND TRY TO GIVE BACK TO HIM IN A WAY THAT HONNERS HIM... LET EVERYONE SPEAK OUT AND FORM THE OWN OPIONS AND THAN LET IT GO... KARMA HAS A WAY OF BITING PEOPLE BACK... BUT GIVE MJ WHAT HE WANTED MOST PEACE WITHIN PEOPLE... YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFRENCE...RESPEECT HIM AND SHOW HIM YOU CAN BE THAT PERSON... GOODLUCK ALL .. DONT FIGHT ABOUT THIS JUST LET IT GO... SAY WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY THAN LET IT GO... HONNER THE MAN YOU ALL LOVED.

I sympathise with the Jackson Family, but i strongly believe its a bid syndicate that killed jackson, and this has alot to do with THIS IS IT.... he wanted to deliver a message that a very strong force did not want it know, incase all his followers will folllow his ..THIS IS IT MESSAGE... guys, whoever did this is somewhere safe just watching us all whasping..... we will for ever missed MJ... i already know his THIS IS IT MESSAGE.... rest in peace MJ...

I wonder if Michael even knew what drugs he is been given. Propofol is supposed to be short acting drug . Anyone can say now whatever we will probably never know the exact truth if Michael asked for all these drugs or not. One thing i cant get over is that an ambulance has not been called for a massive 81min since Michael passed away, i say thats intentional murder.

How do we know that Michael asked for that drug? Nobody was there except his doctor who can say now whatever he wants. Not calling an ambulance for 81min after Michael passed away even then ambulance was called by a bodyguard , i say that is intentional murder. As someone mentioned here before i think this is much deeper in a sense that someone for sure wanted to take Michael down. I mean lets be honest people , Michael was genious and the greatest singer, dancer , performer and everything else there is. Everyone knows that there is Michael Jackson and then everybody else in the music world. All those false allegations about child abuse it was all part of bringing him down and when they couldnt with that now they found other way. Who knows what is the truth about all these drugs , certainly media never said anything nice and truthful about Michael why should we believe them now? I dont.

As time goes on this looks more and more like a murder to me as well. Why did he do it? I don't know, and I don't think we have enough information right now, but we will know eventually.

Michael paid the ultimate price for any part of this that could have been his fault, now the doctor needs to pay and stop pushing his part off on the victim.

I believe the doctor should be charged with murder, for justice to be served. He should also be stripped of his medical license being permanently revoked worldwide.

When the 911 call was received, and published, it was very clear that the Doctor was negligence. I am not in the medicine profession in any shape or form, and even I know you administer CPR on a hard, flat surface, not on a soft bed.

On top of all the drugs he admitted he administered for a few weeks, especially in the last 24 hours, he now is getting ready to claim that Michael Jackson adjusted his own general anesthetic drip after 10 minutes and accidentally killed himself.

He has admitted that he administered the intravenous general anesthetic via a trip. He then sat with him for 10 minutes, and had to go to the bathroom. He was away for 2 minutes, and when he came back Michael had stopped breathing.

My questions are:

1. He couldn’t use the bathroom before administering a drug which needs to be used while the patients oxygen levels and breathing need monitoring constantly?

2. What sort of cardiologist doesn’t know how to administer CPR?

3. What sort of a doctor would give anyone that many sedatives, and top it with a general anesthetic?

4. How did Michael adjust his own dosage. I have had a few surgeries. You are out cold about 10 second after the anesthesia is administered. They have to remove the anesthetic drip before you come around. What, Michael woke up after 10 minutes of this drug and adjusted his own drip? That is impossible to do. This claim is the action of a desperate man who is trying to shift the blame away from himself to the victim.

Does any of this even make sense to any insane person, let alone a sane one, let alone a so-called doctor?

I am a nurse however any one with any common since would know that you don't take or give someone that much medication in that little of a time span. Dr. Murry needs to not only lose his medical liscense but also his freedom. If anyone gave their child, spouse or friend 1/2 the amount of meds he gave Michael and they died we would be in jail. Common sence is what needs to be used here. Forget the fact that Michael Jackson is the King of Pop. Take MJ out of the picture all together if he did not know that this would kill someone he does not need to be practicing medication.

For me it is not about how much drugs that has been injected on MJ, but why Dr Murray have to spent 88 minutes before he finally called 911? And why soon after MJ's death he had to hide? I mean, MJ have childrens and family, they're grieving maybe for the rest of their life, and the man who saw MJ in his last moment ran away and instead of apologized for family's loss, he hire a lawyer and upload his own "truth will prevail" statement on you tube.. Why?

I've been thinking about this tragedy since it happened.

We in the public are not getting all the information. There are so many holes in this story, still, I don't believe it's possible for an accurate overview of anything to take place yet. We may never know.

Long before Dr. Murray was even hired, how did Michael Jackson honestly pass a physical exam for AEG Entertainment? If he had all those needles marks on his arms, was addicted to such large doses of opiates and benzoids, and at such a low weight, are you telling me the thugs and greedy CEO's of AEG Entertainment didn't know Michael was compromised?

I believe Michael Jackson when he claimed those entertainment thugs slipped in another 30 concerts. I'd be f---king flipped out and unable to sleep too if my career and reputation were riding on those concerts. Have some mercy folks.

There are many, many people responsible for Michael Jackson's death, the first being Michael Jackson. I'd add the press tenfold, his family, his mother for God's sake. She asked for money from him too.

I have tremendous compassion and empathy for Michael Jackson. Can anyone imagine how difficult it would have been for him to get help? He could have found it all right, but with the media always looking for another tasteless, merciless story, they would have raked him over the coals, AGAIN. He didn't have another raking involving scandel in him.

I'm also a former opiate addict. I was clean for fifteen years from alcohol and drugs. Over time I ruined my knees and hurt my back. It started innocently enough then evolved into a horrible addiction. It happens. It takes strength, courage and support when you make the decision to get clean. Get real. Did MJ have any of those healthy support systems in his life? No. Everyone used him, including his sycophant family members.

Bottom line: MJ needed to make the decision to get clean himself. He didn't have it in him. That also happens. That is the real world. Some of us die from our addiction. We aren't all carved out of the same cookie cutter.

He's at peace now. A peace long overdue and deserved for such a talented, kind, compassionate and open- hearted man.

I am completely disgusted by the actions of the doctor. Aren't doctors supposed to care about their patient..obviously not enough to want to help me get better. I think he should be stripped of all his titles and prestige that he has, he took Michael from the world and sitting in prison does not provide suffice punishment for his actions. Those actions may or maybe have been deliberate but God, where was his conscience and ethics in all this. I was actually looking forward to see Michael perform the moon walk at age 100 and now that's all taken away. I know we all have to go at some point but the manner in which he was taken makes it so much harder to accept. He was a good man who never deserved the harshness hurled upon him, so I remember Michael as the humanitarian that he was, his love for people and their welfare is todate commendable and truly rare, the world will constantly mourn his passing for years to come. May God be with his family and kids.

doctor is simply drug dealer. To give so many medications one after another is a crime, criminal negligence or murder, whaterver you call it, but mixing these medications is just stupid, it is obvious that this combination of drugs could be almost 100% lethal, it is totally unacceptable to blame it on Mr. Jackson. If your child would want to jump of the balcony ,would you let it be, even if a child would deman to "fly" off the height? Doctor brought the drugs, doctor got the money, he is a drug dealer and criminal, who did not think twice stuffing suffering person with lethal mixture.

I think AIG itself is behind Michael Jackson's death. The man was worth nothing, he owed them millions of dollars and wanted to back out of the 50 concerts. That was their last chance to get some of their money back and Michael couldn't perform the concert so brilliantly they realized that he was worth more to them dead than alive. They hired this doctor to kill him so they could get their money. Notice how the minute he died his songs started selling like crazy on itunes, his cds and many deals and merchandise. AIG killed Michael Jackson but of course they will never be proven because the doctor and his family might be killed as well if he should ever implicate AIG.

The only problem with your theory is that the doctor was hired at Micaheal's request. he's the one who insisted on Conrad being hired on by the company. The doctor will be prosecuted. As for the compnay at the moment no eveidence of any kind exists to make your accusations other than your own imagination.

Mimi: Go get some help, obviously you are in denial about MJ.....I feel sorry for you.

I love Michael as much as anybody out there, but it seems that even if Dr. Murray had said no, Michael would have found a way to get what he wanted. I'm not saying the doctor had no responsibility, but it was Mike's life - he ultimately was answerable to what he was putting in his body.

There are many people (including some investigators) who believe Angel's theory about AIG's involvement. Any cardiologist would know the combination of drugs given to Michael before he died would kill him. Dr. Murray's finances were such that AIG could have easily seduced him with a much larger payoff than his monthly salary. AIG has the only clear motivation in this case. And some find it odd that one of the first calls Dr. Murray made, before the ambulance arrived, was to the head of AIG. I know it sounds crazy now, but additional evidence will surface that shows AIG's involvement.

Michael's addiction goes way back to when his scalp was severely burned while making the Pepsi ad. Sadly that addiction was not helped by the outrageous claims made against him over the years. These would have only fed his humiliation and anxiety. Can you imagine the intense pressure he was under? It would break a lot of strong people I know. I am not making excuses for him, just trying to understand a life mixed with talent and tragedy.
As for the doctor - well he had a 'duty of care' which he neglected for whatever reason so he should be accountable for his actions.
As for MJ fans, we have lost one of most talented people we will ever see in our lifetime. RIP Michael.

R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON
GOD BLESS THE JACKSONS FAMILY AND NOT FORGETTING HIS THREE WONDERFUL CHILDRENS....

I believe his doctor was extremely negliegent and did not do what was in MJ's best interest. He admitted he gave the Propofol and then walked out of the room to make phone calls. It was indeed a sad end to a sad life. He was not happily even with all the money he had. I feel he loved children so much because he longed for a childhood he never had. I blame his father mostly, but his mom too for taking advantage of their sons genuine talent. I also blame the media as well as all of us fans. We bought the magazines that purchased the photos taken by the greedy paparazzi. People, including his fans, wouldn't let him have any privacy. What kind of life can one have if they have to live behind masks and within walls. Just look what happened to Britney Spears. Thank God she is still alive and doing better, at least for now. We are ALL responsible for the destruction of the King of Pop. May he now rest in peace forever.

Does it really matter at this point?. Finger pointing and accusations does not change the outcome. MJ is dead. Who's fault is it? MJ and his doctors. A unique situation where money can buy you what you want from anyone and no one will tell you no. Very sad.

It was over 90 degrees in Dr. Murray's room, not Michael's room. Why was Michael in his room? It is hard to determine the time of death with excessive heat. Time of death is determined by body temperature. I believe Dr. Murray killed Michael, 1st degree. The media said AEG had not paid Dr. Murray as Michael's personal physician.
Dr. Murray started having financial problems 6 months after treating one of Michael's children.
What probably killed Michael was lack of oxygen while getting the IV drip. All you have to do is turn off the oxygen will propofol is still dripping into your system.
Michael was worth more dead than alive just like Elvis plus his interest in the Beatles catalog can now be stolen from his family trust with creditors screaming for a sale. Michael's death is about big money in the billions.
They had been working on Michael for years. First, strong,addictive painkillers when his hair caught on fire. Who introduced him to propofol for insomnia? It is a known fact that Michael was into health. He even fasted and was a semi-vegetarian.
Then, the character assassination with the child molestation charges. He had over 50 law suits against him every year. When you don't answer a law suit, you lose by default. However, the lawyers clean up either way. This is how they drained Michael of his money until he had to sell half of the Beatles catalog.

Stop saying that MJ's doctor only did it because MJ asked, that is bull, he could have made MJ not take it. If that keeps being said, doctor will use it as a defense strategy. He should be charged with negligence, reckless conduct and manslaughter and sentence to prison for the rest of his life or be sentence to death, but I don't think CA has the death penalty. He not only killed a person he killed MJ, a father, friend brother son and our king. The doc should have already been charged and put in jail, so that MJ's prison fans could take care of him But the doc will probably get away with it. He lost his doctors license before and was still able to be a doctor those people that let that happen should also be charged. Past problems with the doc was unnessary rx's prescription and look khe did it again and killed someone, how many other people has he brought to death, we won't hear about them because they are not famous, why isn't someone also looking into that to hold against him in charging with MJ's murder. Let's hope our law enforcers do this one right.

MJ you will now live forever in our hearts, minds and souls. Linda

Murder ? Come on people - get real !! No one wanted him dead - that is just nuts !!

As for the amount of meds ! Ever hear if tolerance ? It is clear this was a issue fir MJ
yes it is true if a person ever took that much meds - and they didn't usually take them - they would be dead but tolerance is differant

When I had cancer - I was on oxycodone and I started off on 20 mg and after a while I was up to 80 mgs at once in am and pmwith a 40 mg break thru dose between - therefore I was on a total of 240 mgs day !! This could kill anyone including ne if I just took it without building up

As for Valium again not a high dose at all and versed was not tgat large

Maybe if he upped these to begin with he would have been more successful
I recall when I had my surgery - the anastec. Had to up the usual drugs 4 times just due to my reg meds

Now most of these are shirt acting meds so therefore the versed would be out if his system and as for the profafol - I am told the standard dose for induction us at least 40 mgs and then they need to continuously admin it in a iv drug to keep him under so I don't get why he hot 25 mgs
that would nock him out for 5-10 max
I have a feeling he gave him alot more then what they r saying - ESP to ve a lethal dose !!

There is no excuse why this guy would give this drug why didn't he just hire a anastec
Md like he did in Germany ? That would have been ok - since they would endure they have all the equipment to monitor him
it is clear even when using it right the mds needs. Equipment to sustain pts on a normal day .

i think this so called Docter used m.J as a meal ticket, he was facing bankrupcy forcloser on his house in vegas he saw michael as a way out,theres no if and's or but's about it!! and i pose the quiston as many have 'WHY' wasent he on the phn with 911 WHY did he call prince in the room why dident he move michael from the bed to the floor? hello any dr knows u have to have the pationt on solid ground to do c.p.r! i mean where did dr.murray get his dr.'s degree? docter for dummies? weather or not it was intent or negligence he needs to be punished,the judge in this case needs to let privet docters for the stars ext. know that they are NOT above the law. people are DIEING here. who's next befor someone finally relizes that we have a seriouse addiction problem right here in the U.S. lets go back a year ok,Anna nichol smith same thing happened to her,i mean american docters need to wake up.just the way this "docter" handled the situation makes me sick! i dont care facts are facts he was neglagent he gave michael medican that is to be used for pationts who are having surgerys that reqire you to be totally undear AND add that to the fact that he KNEW michael was an addict AND YET he STILL administered the drug? he hesitated to call 911 so he could clean up his mess! he gave M.J the drug knowing all of this and left him in that room alone all the while knowing that michael could go into a coma,stop breathing or worse die,and that is what happend michael is gone. it is soo clear to me that this so called docter is at fault here. my prayers are with michaels children i know how much they loved him and he them,i cant emagine the pain those children are going through. god bless you michael R.I.P always remembered & never forgotten

Michael Jackson was a man child. He was a perfectionist
caused by a over bearing father fom child hood.
I don't think Michael ever realy grew up in some ways whch can be good and not so good.
Neverland helped heal his child hood pain by enjoying the laughter it brought all childen who came. He lived his childhood through their laughter.

Michael family s not responsobile nor is the doctor" and not Michael.
DRUGS ARE LIKE DEMONS THAT DEVOUR ALL THAT GET IN THEIR EVIL WAY! THE DRUG BECOMES YOUR BEST FRIEND AND YOUR WORST ENEMY.
I LOVE MICHAEL AND FEEL HE LIVED LONGER THAN ELVIS DID BY 8 YEARS. HE OUT LIVED JUDY GARLAND BY 2 YEARS AND MARIYNN MONROE BY 14 YEARS.
THE CELEBRITY LIFE HAS A GLAMORUS SIDE AND A DARK SIDE.
IT MAKES ME WONDER HOW EXCITED HE REALLY WAS TO DO THE.]'THIS IS IT CONCERT." WAS IT A FEAR OF FAILING THAT CAUSED HIS TERRIBLE INSOMMIA?
DID HIS GENIUS GIFT TAKE HIM AWAY BECAUSE HE JUST WAS UNABLE TO LIVE WITH HIS OWN STARDOM?
MANY QUESTIONS THAT MAY NEVER BE ANSWERED EVEN IF HE WAS ALIVE TO TALK!
WHY, BECAUSE MAYBE HE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE THE ANSWER WHY?
REST IN PEACE AND MAY YOU FIND ENTERNAL PEACE IN HEAVEN WITH GOD BY YOUR BEDSIDE.
