Court records unsealed this week add an intriguing clue to the mystery of why
Michael Jackson used propofol, the powerful anesthetic that the coroner says killed him.
We reported yesterday on a
report in the May 2007 issue of Anesthesiology News that many revealed many propofol addicts were not only insomniacs like Jacko, but victims of childhood sex abuse, looking to block out the painful memories. The report raised the questiom of whether Michael Jackson turned to propofol to escape memories of his own molestation and abuse.
According to court records, Dr. Conrad Murray, who may be charged for giving Jacko his lethal dose, says he feared the star was addicted to the stuff. Jacko, he told police, spent his final hours pleading to be shot up with propofol.
Murray said that Jackson referred to propofol as "milk."
