Jackson Doc Stonewalls on Dangerous Surgery Drug

Share

(Newser) – The doctor with Michael Jackson the night he died is stonewalling questions about whether he provided the singer with the dangerous anesthesia Propofol, reports TMZ. The attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray has denied that the physician gave Jackson OxyContin or Demerol. But as for the Porpofol found in Jackson's home, a drug Los Angeles police seem particularly concerned about, "I have no statement on whether the doctor prescribed or administered Propofol," said his lawyer.

The attorney for Dr. Conrad Murray has denied that the physician provided Oxycontin or Demerol to Michael Jackson the day he died, but refuses to make a similar statement concerning Propofol.

My opinion in reference to what part Dr. Murray played in the death of MJ...is the same as yours....CF....but the main player was MJ....Its sad that hes gone....but he was educated like we all are about drugs...so really no ones to blame but MJ himself. Reply
