Michael Jackson ‘drug intervention’ claims
Michael Jackson’s personal physician staged a drug intervention a week before he died, according to the singer’s father.
The ‘King of Pop’ died of acute Propofol intoxication by intravenous injection of another last year, and Dr. Conrad Murray has been charged with his involuntary manslaughter but insists he is innocent. Propofol is usually used to put surgery patients to sleep in hospital, and Michael reportedly took it as he was having trouble sleeping.
Michael’s father Joe Jackson filed a wrongful death lawsuit at a Los Angeles court on June 25 this year, the first anniversary of Michael’s death. He accused Murray of professional negligence, withholding information about Propofol and giving substandard care. A minimum of $75,000 damages are being sought. The suit also named Acres Home Heart & Vascular Associates Inc. and GCA Holdings LLC as defendants.
Joe has now re-filed the papers, and has alleged Murray and concert promoters AEG staged an intervention shortly before the star’s death. At the time of his passing, Michael was preparing for a series of comeback shows to be staged in London. There had been queries about whether he would be physically fit enough for the performances.
According to the court papers, Murray and AEG reps arrived at Michael’s home on North Carolwood Drive, Los Angeles, on June 18 2009 and said they were there for a “drug intervention”.
“The suit claims during the meeting AEG demanded Michael ‘stop seeing Dr. Arnold Klein and stop taking the drugs Klein gave to him’. They wanted Michael to ‘take only the medications being given to him by Conrad Murray’,” according to website TMZ. Klein was Michael’s dermatologist.
It is alleged AEG feared Michael wasn’t going to all his rehearsals because of medication he was taking from other doctors. The meeting was supposed to encourage Michael to only take items prescribed by Murray so he could get more sleep.
According to the papers, Michael seemed “drugged and disoriented” in the days before his death, and was also growing increasingly weak.A court is set to decide whether there is enough evidence for Murray to stand trial in January.
