Those close to Jackson indicate that Michael was taking a cocktail of prescription pain killers dating back to several months ago. The drugs are implicated to causing breathing and cardiac arrest and it is unknown until the toxicology reports are revealed exactly how much and how many drugs Jackson was taking before his death.
In a similar case of Nicole Smith, Elvis Presley and other entertainers who died suddenly of an overdose of drugs -Jackson even had a doctor present when he died.
Michael Jackson’s manager Frank DiLeo was with him also at the time of his apparent heart attack stated: “the family has been trying for months and months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. The people who have surrounded him have been enabling Him”.
It seems that Jackson’s sudden death is attributed to the abuse of prescription medications especially the drug Demerol used for pain relief.

The pain Jackson was trying to relieve was his broken leg when he fell from the stage and a broken vertebra in his back for which he was suspected of taking Demerol.
TMZ reports Michael was given a heavy dose of morphine before his death and his personal physician is no where to be found. Police want to interview the doctor and law enforcement report the doctor’s BMW was towed from the Jackson home last night. Also that Joe Jackson wanted to put Michael into a drug rehab program and family members felt he was not up to performing the 50 sold out concerts upcoming in July in London which have all been cancelled.

Jackson would have benefited from intervention help. It is a shame that his family chose not to help him get the help that he so obviously needed.
