The announcement indicates that the King of Pop died of  "acute Propofol intoxication," and "other conditions contributing to death: Benzodiazepine effect." A Benzodiazepine is a sedative-hypnotic.

"The drugs Propofol and Lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson's death. Other drugs detected were: Midazolam, Diazepam, Lidocaine and Ephedrine," the announcement goes on to state.

Jackson passed away on June 25 at age 50 after he was found unresponsive in his bedroom.

  • Poor Michael. But I agree with most people out there. The doctor only wanted money from him, and I guess Michael gave it to him because he bought the drugs. Still, it's heart wrenching to think that the King Of Pop is really gone.
    XOXO MICHAEL!...
