Jackson May Have Died Of Overdose

Now comes word via TMZ that Michael Jackson's family thinks he died from a Demerol overdose. Apparently he got daily injections and had one at 11:30am, just before he went into cardiac arrest.

Jackson had a history of prescription drug abuse and once was admitted to Betty Ford Clinic for treatment. If this story turns out to be true, it is a very sad one indeed.

Jackson was poised for a farewell tour in London where he already had 50 sold out performances scheduled.

UPDATE: Via TMZ:

We've learned law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson's home -- and the doctor is nowhere to be found.

Law enforcement sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson's home last night.

UPDATE: 911 Tape Released

Just listened to the recording of the 911 tape from Michael Jackson's house to the police. They mentioned that he was not breathing and they could not revive him using CPR, prior to the EMTs arriving. Also, no mention of Jackson's name or his doctor's was made during the call.

Word comes from other sources that his doctor went to the hospital with him and personally administered CPR at the hospital to no avail. One has to wonder if he was not already dead and the doctor was putting on a show for authorities? The fact that the doctor has gone missing and his car was impounded by police seeking evidence is telling.
