Did Michael Jackson OD On Demerol?

June 26th, 2009, 3:46 PM EDT

Michael Jackson’s doctor is talking to authorities. Dr. Conrad Murray, a Houston-based physician, was living at Jackson’s home and reportedly was with him at the time he went into cardiac arrest.


TMZ is highlighting that a shot of Demerol may have caused Jackson’s death and that he received the morphine-like drug at 11:30AM Thursday. Family patriarch Joe Jackson wanted to put his son into rehab for drug addiction, says TMZ.


Family members say they felt he was unable to perform for his upcoming concerts because of his drug use.

 

Members of the upcoming tour tell TMZ Jackson was generally lethargic and very late for rehearsals.

 

There are reports Jackson OD’d yesterday on Demerol, a drug similar to morphine.

 

Here is the 911 call from Jackson’s home.

  1. We are going to be shocked when the autopsy results are made public. It’s sad. I read an article where Lisa Marie said that Michael feared he would die like her father.

  2. We’ve lost a legend, that much is clear.

  3. Dr. Hannity @ Fox News has indicated drugs caused his death.

    Seems Doc Hannity just can’t wait to throw some extra dirt over his grave.

    The good doctor H. needs to drop his phony concerned bedside manor expression and at the same time doing his best to torpedo the guy.

    INAISLE8,

    Wait…isn’t that was Alan was pushing by this article?

    Slow it down a bit speedy…soak it in…and realize Hannity did what Alan did…mention that drugs MAY have been the cause of death…

    Sheesh

  4. When Hannity says, it’s a great tragedy, because of “this” (drugs) it need not have happened.

    This is not a “maybe” according to Hannity it’s a fact.
    Sorry Tex, your man Hannity comes across as a white male conservative racist.

    You know Tex some people in the music business do die from medical problems other than drugs.
    I guess Doctor Hannity does not know that.

    Sheesh

    Just for a second…put aside your elementary and partisan thought process and think about it for a minute.

    Hannity did not say drugs were the cause of death…as there’s not official autopsy report indicating what the cause of death was…right?

    You’re just inferring that Hannity is pushing a drug-related cause of death.

    And, let’s talk about this statement, junior:
    a white male conservative racist.

    See, I could be just like you and infer that you mean that all white male conservatives are racist…but then I’d have to have a cookie snack, kool-aid and take a nap afterwards. Please, do your credibility a favor and have the intellectual honesty to understand that not all white male conservatives are racists…just like not all black male liberals are racists.

    Now, if you’d like to identify what leads you to believe that hannity is a racist then we can talk about it and I can squash any “proof” that you think you have.

    I think you need to watch the last 2 minutes of the interview he had with Jesse Jackson on 6/27.
    The spin starts there.

    Well Tex I believe I’m about as credible as you are.

    Why don’t you mosey over to foxattacks.com and see some of your Fox News boys in action. Let them speak for themselves.

    That’s pretty interesting considering it’s not June 27th, yet…wanna try again?

    Unfortunately, for you anyway, I prefer to comment with verifiable facts, and not on personal opinion. My credibility is fine.

    I don’t need to “mosey” on over to foxattacks.com to know there are people out there who’s motivation is hate and discontent…I get enough of that from you libs here at Alan.com.

    Oh, wait…the blue light is on for Aisle Common Sense…why don’t you take a peek at what’s being offered?

    You seem to lumping all us libs into one hate and discontent group. hmmmmmm… Who’s doing the inferring now? I guess you are just like me. Want some cookies?

    Oh, thank you for the pointing out my error. I will correct my typo to 6/26, happy now?

    I have an opinion you state facts. An exchange of thoughts.
    Isn’t that why were both here?

    JaredfromTexas Reply:

    uh-uh, my friend…again, you’re inferring something that isn’t there.

    I said I get enough hate and discontent from the libs on this site…that, in NO WAY, implied ALL libs are like the libs on this site.

    Use your head!

    Sure, you can use opinion as basis for your arguments…but personal opinion pales in comparison to verifiable facts…wouldn’t you say? Otherwise, you’re just like ERICG and ROCKY…

    I can’t seem to find a transcript of the interview with Jesse jackson…perhaps you can post a link to it here? NOT the video as I’m not able to watch it…just the transcript.

    I guess we can pick this implication nit to death.
    He said she said, whatever.

    “Sure, you can use opinion as basis for your arguments…but personal opinion pales in comparison to verifiable facts…”

    Why don’t you save that for Bully O’Reilly…. oops, another typo… Billy O’Reilly @ Fox News. Might do him and a few others over there at FN some good to state a few facts for a change. It might even help clean up his opinionated Talking Point nonsense.
    He sure l@@ks pale to me.

    Never heard of a Hannity transcript. Maybe someone on this board could help us with your request.

  5. Apparently, his personal physician has already hi-jacked himself to Argentina. Just saying!!!

  6. doctor hannity… foxattacks.com lmao

    i’m waiting 4 the toxicology report. see u in 8 weeks.

  7. Have to say that I have suspected drugs all along.
