Manipulated?

According to sources, pop legend Michael Jackson feared someone would kill him not long before he died.

The 50 year-old was reportedly terrified someone would kill him for his money or the music publishing rights he owned, including his own work and over 200 Beatles songs in their back catalogue.

Brian Oxman, the Jackson family lawyer said: “He feared somebody would want to kill him. He was even concerned people would kill him to somehow try to take control of the Beatles back catalogue.”

Oxman also claims that family members believed Michael was being kept in a drugged state so people could easily manipulate him.

A Stomach Full Of Drugs

He said: “He appeared to be taking a variety of strong narcotics and many of these drugs were obtained in the names of his staff and associated.

“While the people around him insist they were acting in his best interest, the drugs were used to control and manipulate Michael – and the drugs eventually killed him.

“His family has asked Los Angeles police to investigate. A team has already started probing his finances”

An autopsy on the star didn’t state the cause of his death, but ruled out foul play. However, a leaked report of the autopsy reveals the contents of his stomach was purely drugs.

These drugs include pain killers, anti-anxiety tablets, anti-depressants and various muscle relaxants including Xanax, Paxil, Demerol and Zoloft.

Following this, Jackson’s family demanded a private autopsy which yielded no more conclusive information.

However, the family has a right to be worried after a search of Jacksons home revealed the drug Propofol which is used on surgery patient as a sedative that is given via an intravenous drip and can only be gained by people in the medical profession and never proscribed for home use.

The LA County Coroner’s officials have not officially confirmed finding this drug, but officials did enter Michaels house around noon and left with two plastic bags after looking for “controlled substance and paraphernalia – in particular needles”.

Killer Cocktail?

It has been claimed that Propofol mixed with other painkillers can cause a cardiac arrest. On top of this, the number of different medications he was taking at the time of his death, even without Propofol, could have also caused a cardiac arrest.

The registered nurse and nutritionist that worked with Michael in order to get in shape for his London comeback shows claims the star was an insomniac that often sought help by asking her to proscribe Diprivan – the brand name for Propofol.

“He wasn’t looking to get high or feel good and sedated from drugs. This was a person who was not on drugs. This was a person who was seeking help, desperately, to get some sleep, to get some rest.”

The LAPD are also looking to talk to Michael’s dermatologist Arnold Klein and Dr, Conrad Murray, his personal physical regarding the drugs as part of their investigation.
