Michael Jackson Cause Of Death – The autopsy on Michael Jackson was inconclusive, but L.A. police say Jackson was “heavily addicted” to Oxycontin and received an injection of Demerol an hour before he died.
The Michael Jackson cause of death has been contentious since the troubled pop singer’s sudden cardiac arrest at age 50 after Dr. Conrad Murray injected Jackson with the powerful painkiller Demerol.
Jackson is the latest in a long line of celebrities whose drug addiction was enabled by pill-pushing physicians. Anna Nicole Smith’s death last year shows the peril of unlimited access to pharmaceuticals by the rich and famous.
Dr. Conrad Murray is a Las Vegas-based cardiologist who was Michael Jackson’s personal physician.
Murray was present when Jackson was found in cardiac arrest and performed CPR until the EMT crews arrived, but Jackson’s heart was stopped permanently by the abundance of powerful painkillers in his system.
Dr. Murray then disappeared from the scene, not bothering to discuss what happened to Jackson after the Demerol shot was given with either the police or Jackson’s family.
Dr. Murray has hired an attorney and will be interviewed by the LAPD this weekend.
Michael Jackson has been abusing prescription painkillers since his scalp was severely burned while filming a Pepsi commercial.
Jackson later fell off a stage while performing, breaking his leg and badly injuring his back, which fueled his addiction to Oxycontin and led to his seeking even more powerful painkillers.
And that’s the latest on the Michael Jackson cause of death.

I won’t believe any rumors until one of the family members actually states it. Don’t believe the tabloids or rumors, look how well that turned out for him. Let the man rest in peace already, it’a about damn time. RIP Michael Jackson, we love you.
