Michael Jackson died aged 50 on June 25, 2009<\/h2>\n

Warning: This article contains discussion of drug addiction which some readers may find distressing.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s been nearly fifteen years since Michael Jackson passed away – and his final words continue to be haunting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The King of\u00a0Pop<\/a>\u00a0dominated the charts for decades and made headlines for both his record-breaking career and controversial personal life.<\/p>\n

But on June 25, 2009, he made the news for a very different reason – when he died at the age of 50.<\/p>\n

When the\u00a0paramedics<\/a>\u00a0were first called to the\u00a0Los Angeles<\/a>\u00a0mansion that\u00a0Jackson<\/a>\u00a0was renting, it appeared to be a standard case of cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

But what came out in the subsequent years revealed that the case was anything but standard.<\/p>\n

For years, the singer had seemingly been dependant on a whole host of painkillers.<\/p>\n

His dependency reportedly started in the 1980s, when his scalp was burnt in a fire while filming a Pepsi commercial.<\/p>\n

This led to him taking a substantial amount of painkillers to deal with the pain.<\/p>\n

Despite going to rehab in 1993, Jackson would struggle with his addictions for the rest of his life.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles County coroner later concluded that Jackson died from ‘acute propofol intoxication’.<\/p>\n

Propofol is an anaesthetic usually used in hospitals when patients are put under for surgeries.<\/p>\n

Jackson had been using the drug to induce himself to sleep as he had insomnia.<\/p>\n

Given that he had a comeback tour on the way, he wanted to get his rest – and opted for the drug.<\/p>\n

It was supplied to him by Dr Conrad Murray, who was later. sentenced to four years in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter.<\/p>\n

It was during his trial that Murray revealed what Jackson’s final words were – repeated requests for ‘milk’.<\/p>\n

This might make no sense out of context, but propofol has been called the ‘milk of amnesia’.<\/p>\n

Murray also recorded some of Jackson’s final pleas on his phone, in which the father-of-three can be heard saying: “Just make me sleep; it doesn\u2019t matter what happens.”<\/p>\n

When Murray submitted to his employer’s request, it would be the last time Jackson took propofol.<\/p>\n

It’s said that minutes later, he realized the singer was no longer breathing and sounded the alarm.<\/p>\n

Murray served around two years at a Los Angeles County jail and was released in October 2013.<\/p>\n

His medical licenses in California, Nevada, and Texas were suspended after he was convicted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
