Whitney Houston, Usher, Lionel Richie, Wyclef, and others are all set to remake Michael Jackson’s “Will You Be There” as a tribute to him. The proceeds from the song will be split 50/50 between The Larry King Cardiac Foundation (Larry’s wife Shawn is co-spearheading this project with Jermaine Jackson) and an unspecified charity close to MJ. Nice.
According to the LA Times, Michael Jackson’s physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, left him alone in a bedroom after starting an infusion of a potent sedative so he could go make phone calls.
Leaked details from Jackson’s autopsy report shows that Dr. Murray gave Jackson an IV infusion of Diprivan (Propofol) a short acting drug used in hospitals to induce anesthesia on patients undergoing inpatient and outpatient procedures.
The troubled doc, who has been identified in court records as a suspect in Jackson’s death, returned to the bedroom to find the 50-year-old Jackson unresponsive and not breathing. Jackson was later pronounced dead at UCLA Medical Center after suffering respiratory and cardiac arrest.
Murray, 51, told police he felt comfortable giving Jackson Diprivan and leaving him alone to make calls on his cell phone because Jackson had previously taken the drug as a sleep aid for a decade with no problems. Murray told police he spoke with his family members and office staff in Houston while Jackson slept in another room.
Police sources had earlier said Murray fell asleep in another room in the rented 10-bedroom mansion after giving Jackson the drug.
This news contradicts online reports that Murray delayed calling paramedics for 30 minutes because he couldn’t find a working phone inside Jackson’s rented Bel Air mansion on the morning of June 25.
A source close to the investigation into Jackson’s untimely death told the LA Times that there was a “limited amount” of Diprivan in Jackson’s system. And that the presence of other prescription drugs in his system along with such a limited amount of the sedative could complicate prosecution of Dr. Murray.
Almost 2 months after his death, the King of Pop Michael Jackson has finally been laid to rest at the Forest Lawn Cemetery in California. There have been so many autopsy and burial issues and the family has finally taken the final step.
Also, a Los Angeles Superior Court Judge just approved an arrangement between Michael Jackson’s estate, AEG Live and Columbia Pictures for a movie based on Michael’s last days.
According to the report, the movie will contain rehearsal footage from Jackson’s concert preparations for his London concerts, as well as videos from the “This Is It” shows filmed just before his death. R.I.P.
