Michael Jackson's Death Ruled a Homicide: Second Doctor Under Investigation

Michael Jackson's death was ruled a homicide by the coroner who did the autopsy on the late singer.

And instead of answering questions, the autopsy has lead to more questions. How could things have gotten so far? He should have been in the hospital if he was in that kind of pain and unable to sleep.

The police now have an hour-by-hour accounting of what happened to Jackson. According to the records, Jackson was given the following drugs in this sequence:

1:30 a.m. — 10 milligram tablet of Valium, a sedative.
2 a.m. — 2 milligrams of the sedative lorazepam (brand name Ativan) given intravenously.
3 a.m. — 2 milligrams of the sedative midazolam (brand name Versed) given intravenously.
5 a.m. — 2 milligrams of lorazepam given intravenously.
7:30 a.m. — 2 milligrams of midazolam given intravenously.
10:40 a.m. — 25 milligrams of propofol (brand name Diprivan) given intravenously and diluted with lidocaine (brand name Xylocaine).
10:50 a.m. — Doctor leaves Jackson’s room; returns minutes later to find Jackson not breathing. Begins CPR and gives 0.2 milligrams of flumazenil (brand name Anexate), used to reverse sedatives.

Did the doctor not realize what was going to happen? Those sedatives remain resident in the body, and with the propofol, the effect of the other seditives were amplified, according to medical authorities familiar with the drug.

Jackson should have been in the hospital getting proper treatment from doctors who were not on the King of Pop's payroll, and would have cleaned him out and gotten him on a proper treatment plan.

I can't see how the doctor involved won't get charged with a crime. He sure was negligent.

Neverland Gets Foreclosed: Michael Jackson Needs $24 Million to Keep the Now-Abandoned Ranch

I wonder what kind of interest rate Michael Jackson is paying on his $300 million loan. Whatever it is, it's overwhelmed his ability to pay it back. His Neverland Ranch has gone into foreclosure and is scheduled to be auctioned on the steps of the county courthouse on March 19th.

$300 million is no small amount of change. According to the International Monetary Fund via Wikipedia, it's more than the GDP of eight nations:



Flag of the Solomon Islands Solomon Islands 286 million

Flag of Dominica Dominica 279 million

Flag of Tonga Tonga 244 million

Flag of the Federated States of Micronesia Micronesia 232 million

Flag of Palau Palau 145 million

Flag of the Marshall Islands Marshall Islands 144 million

Flag of São Tomé and Príncipe São Tomé and Príncipe 99 million

Flag of Kiribati Kiribati 76.4 million

In any case, the title company that Jackson owes money to wants $24,525,906.61 by March 19th, or they'll auction Neverland Ranch.

How did he get himself into this mess?
