The murder suspicions surrounding the death of the "king of pop" Michael Jackson have resurfaced.
On the 17th episode of KBS2's Celebrity Soldier's Secret, the program focused on the mysteries surrounding his final moments and death under the theme "Why did the king of pop stop breathing? The story of Michael Jackson."
That day, the program disclosed the results of Michael Jackson's autopsy. The cause was revealed to be acute propofol intoxication, but it was also reported that it was recorded as "homicide (HOMICIDE, murder)," which shocked viewers. In particular, traces of drug administration were found in 13 places across his body, and evidence emerged that multiple drugs were used together in addition to propofol.
Specialist Lee Nak-jun noted, "Propofol is not a sleeping pill but an anesthetic," and said, "Repeated administration in an environment without medical monitoring is itself very dangerous." In fact, Michael Jackson appeared to be sleeping because of drugs, but it was reported that his body was not actually resting properly.
Above all, the circumstances at the time of death fueled suspicion. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, claimed that Jackson stopped breathing during the brief two minutes he left the room, but questions grew after it was revealed that the 911 call was made only 1 hour and 30 minutes after cardiac arrest.
Le Chanwon said, "I don't think only one person was involved in this. There will be accomplices," and Michael Jackson's daughter Paris Jackson also said, "My father was murdered," lending weight to the possibility of homicide.
Meanwhile, Michael Jackson died at his home in Los Angeles, U.S., in 2009 at the age of 50. Afterwards, his personal physician Conrad Murray was tried on charges of involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to four years in prison.
Celebrity Soldier's Secret is a program that examines the lives and deaths of celebrities in history from a medical perspective and airs every Tuesday at 8:30 p.m.
