Where Did Michael Jackson Die? Complete Guide to the Location, Estate, and Final Resting Place
By Alexander Ross
Jackson returned to 100 North Carolwood Drive around 1:00 a.m. after completing a rigorous midnight rehearsal at the Staples Center. Over the next nine hours, Dr. Murray administered repeated doses of valium, lorazepam, and midazolam to induce sleep. At approximately 10:40 a.m., Murray administered a 25-milligram dose of the surgical anesthetic propofol diluted with lidocaine, leaving the singer's side shortly thereafter.
When Murray returned, Jackson was non-responsive and had stopped breathing. Because Murray did not have basic medical monitoring equipment, pulse oximeters, or a precision infusion pump in the bedroom, vital minutes were lost attempting manual chest compressions on a soft mattress instead of a hard floor.
