Jacko Doc May Have Dozed During IV Drip

Cops think Murray awoke to find singer already dead

Share

(Newser) – Conrad Murray told police he gave Michael Jackson a powerful IV drip hours before he died, but authorities suspect the doctor dozed off only to awaken and find the singer already dead of heart failure, reports TMZ. Experts consider it “reckless” to administer Propofol without using an EKG to keep tabs on a patient; no such device was found in the house.

So the doc dozed for "just a moment;" and the self-destructive idol dozed "permanently!" (Sigh!) Reply

Yeah, the idol with the medical degree should have known better than all the medical professionals around him. After all, he didn't need any medical people to tell him drug names and give him access, now did he?

We shouldn't be blaming the doc, M.J. got himself hooked on the hard stuff but wasn't man enough to inject himself. A junkie who can't shoot up needs to find another occupation. Reply
