|
Multiple law enforcement sources tell us the toxicology report in the Michael Jackson case shows Jackson had a lethal amount of the anesthetic Propofol in his system — but that wasn’t the only drug.
We’re told the toxicology findings show there was also alprazolam — also known as Xanax — in Jackson’s system. Xanax is used to treat anxiety.

Michael Jackson Autopsy Report: Toxicology Results Shows “Lethal Amount” of Propofol ”lethal amount” of Propofol in his system. Toxicology reports are indicating results of both Propofol and alprazolam — commonly known by its brand name, Xanax — in Michael Jackson’s system. It is not known how many more or if there were any more drugs in the pop singer’s system and, at least for the present, officials have decided to remain mum on the subject. CNN and various news agencies had reported as long as two weeks ago that the toxicology results were expected and the Coroner’s Office’s final autopsy report was imminent.
A “lethal amount” of Propofol — also known as Diprivan — in Michael Jackson’s system could prove problematic for Dr. Conrad Murray. These findings were the possible source of increased police and legal interest in Conrad Murray and his medical records in the last couple weeks. Murray saw his medical offices and storage facilities in both Houston, Texas, and Las Vegas, Nevada, searched. It is unclear what was taken, but it is known that medical records were seized and certain information was taken from computers.
Sealed search warrants were later revealed to be carried out to facilitate in a possible manslaughter investigation.
Dr. Conrad Murray was the last person to see Michael Jackson alive. An interview with the LAPD precipitated a second search of the Jackson residence after the singer’s death. Propofol, a powerful and dangerous sedative that requires constant monitoring during its administration, and other substances were found at the time. Later testimony from several sources indicated that Michael Jackson had inquired about and may have used Propofol for quite some time.
It is believed that much of the Los Angeles County investigation has centered on Dr. Conrad Murray and his connection with Michael Jackson’s Propofol use. Dr. Conrad Murray’s attorneys continue to release statements that their client is cooperating fully with authorities.
