Update-Michael Jackson believed to have died
from a powerful drug administered to him by his personal
physician, Dr. Conrad Murray. CNN reports that a
source close to the Jackson family with knowledge of
the ongoing investigation confirmed this to them
today Monday July 27, 2009.

Again Jackson’s
doctor gave him the drug that police believe killed him.

Jun 29, 2009

Jackson had been rehearsing for 50 London concerts aimed at
restoring his crown as the King of Pop. He died Thursday at age
50 after what his family said appeared to be cardiac arrest.

A 911 call from Jackson’s rented home reported that Michael’s personal
doctor was trying to revive him without success. The unidentified
911 caller says “He’s pumping his chest,” “but he’s not responding
to anything.”
Asked by the dispatcher whether anyone saw what happened,
the caller answers: “No, just the doctor, sir. The doctor has been
the only one there.”

Michael’s death is still under investigation. There are at
least four possibilities for his death.

1. Suicide-Raymone Bain represented the King of Pop for six years,
says “unequivocally Michael Jackson did not commit suicide.”
She also claims he owes her millions in unpaid business earnings.
Many who knew Michael Say he did not commit suicide.

2. Natural Death-Cardiac arrest.
AEG Live president and chief executive, Randy Phillips, said earlier Friday
that it was Michael Jackson who insisted that Murray, a cardiologist
who was with the entertainer when he collapsed Thursday,
be put on the tour payroll. Murray was reported to be financially troubled.
911 caller stated that “He’s pumping his chest,” “but he’s not responding
to anything.”
The father of Michael Jackson says he does not believe stress over the
intense series of concerts the King of Pop planned for his comeback
led to his death.

3. Drug Overdose-Jackson’s seek second autopsy to determine the
cause of death.
Rev. Jesse Jackson revealed that Michael Jackson’s family wanted a
second, private autopsy of the pop superstar because of unanswered
questions about how he died.
“It’s abnormal,” Jesse Jackson said from Chicago after visiting
the Jackson family. “We don’t know what happened. Was he injected
and with what? All reasonable doubt should be addressed.”
The Los Angeles Times reported on its Web site Saturday
evening, the second autopsy was completed Saturday at the
family’s request. .
Dr. Michael Baden, a medical examiner said
A private autopsy can allow the family to get some information
about a death almost immediately, including signs of heart,
brain or lung disease or fresh needle punctures.
“Usually if it looks normal with the naked eye, it looks normal
under the microscope,” said Baden, who recently performed a second
autopsy on actor David Carradine. Dr Baden was also interviewed on
Fox news.

Los Angeles County medical examiners completed their autopsy
Friday and said Jackson had taken prescription medication.
The people close to Jackson have said since his death that
they were concerned about his use of painkillers.
Micael Jackson was said to be taking Demorol, Dilaudid,
and Vicodin.

Dr. Michael Baden said that Narcan was not found.
What is Narcan? Narcan or Naloxone is a special narcotic drug
that reverses the effects of other narcotic medicines. Naloxone may
also be used to treat narcotic drug overdose.
If Michael was given an overdose of pain killers Narcan
was not used to counter act it.
Michael also had medical prescriptions from
several different doctors. He was said to be taking
pain killers, anti depressants, and heartburn medication.

The slowing of the heart rate and the breathing
seem to indicate Michael was reacting to the narcotics.

Dr. Conrad Murray found the singer not breathing in bed
when he entered the singer’s estate last week.
However, Jackson did have a slight pulse when Dr. Murray
discovered him Thursday, according to the law firm
representing the doctor.
Attorney Edward Chernoff is representing
Dr Murray. Also The law firm said reports that
Murray injected Jackson with powerful painkillers,
such as Demerol or Oxycontin, were false.

4. Homicide-Hard to believe? Michael contracted to
do 50 concerts. It was said he thought that it would
only be 10. Michael was reportedly frail but had
passed a physical in Feb. Producers had reportedly
insured Michael for the concerts.
It was reported that 5 concerts were already canceled
because Michael was not ready.
Millions could be lost if Michael were unable to
perform.
An autopsy performed by a county medical examiner
was inconclusive, although officials said there
were no indications of external trauma or foul play.
The Los Angeles County coroner’s office has said
more tests are needed before a cause of death can
be determined. That could take four to six weeks.

Michael was Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 2001 (as a solo artist).
He was also Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997
(as a member of the Jackson 5).
