Diana Ross Remembers Michael Jackson

Описание: Michael Jackson's death took place on June 25, 2009 in Los Angeles, at 2.26pm American time at UCLA Medical Center, where Jackson was transported by ambulance after he lost consciousness in the home on 100 North Carolwood Drive in Hombly Hills, exclusive Los Angeles hillside neighborhood. Michael Jackson had been in the city since December 2008 to take part in the This Is It rehearsals, the series of what should have been his last farewell concerts organized by AEG Live and which were to take place in London at the O2 Arena in the following July. The tests he attended took place at the Staples Center, so Jackson stayed in the Hombly Hills house made available by AEG Live, for a monthly rent of $ 100,000.

Jackson, who had been suffering from chronic insomnia for years, at 10:40 am on June 25th, after yet another sleepless night and taking some sedatives, was put under anesthesia with a powerful drug by Conrad Murray, a personal doctor hired by AEG Live because it took care of the singer during the rehearsals and the planned tour. However, about ten minutes later, Jackson had a respiratory crisis and, after some futile attempts at resuscitation by the doctor, rescue was called and Jackson was rushed to the hospital, where he arrived already in a coma; after another 42 minutes of attempts to revive him by medical personnel, Michael Jackson was pronounced dead. Following the autopsy performed on his body, the toxicological results indicated that the cause of his death was attributable to an acute intoxication with Propofol, a powerful anesthetic, in conjunction with the action of some benzodiazepines.
