Michael Jackson 'was killed by shot of Demerol administered by aide' claims personal doctor

Michael Jackson died after one of his aides gave him a shot of the painkiller Demerol, his personal doctor said.

• Dr Conrad Murray told police that he, himself, was asleep when Jackson was given the fatal dose.
• When the doctor woke up, the singer was dead, and he frantically tried to revive him, Dr Murray claims.
• It is believed that Dr Murray told police that earlier that day he had given Jackson a shot  of surgical anaesthetic Propofol – also known as Diprivan – but that he had woken up when the effects wore off and demanded more medication.
• The unwitting aide gave him the shot of Demerol which then triggered a massive heart attack.
• Jackson is thought to have first taken Demerol to control the pain of burns to his scalp he suffered filming a Pepsi advert. 
• Propofol – which should only be given in a hospital environment – can be delivered by an intravenous drip to release a steady supply.
• There should always be equipment available to monitor the electrical impulses of the patient’s heart and the level of oxygen in their blood supply when they take the drug.
• An ECG would trigger an alarm if the patient flatlined, while a pulse oximeter would sound if oxygen supplies changed.
• Neither device was found by detectives when they searched Jackson’s rented Holmby Hills mansion following his death.
• Dr Murray’s lawyer Ed Chernoff has always maintained that his client denies giving Jacko anything that killed him.
