Death of Michael Jackson

Micheal Jackson was pronounced dead on June 29, 2009 from Propofol and Benzodiazepine intoxication at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. On August 28th the Los Angeles County Coronor ruled his death a homicide. Micheal Jackson's personal physician, Conrad Murray was convicted on involuntary manslaughter in 2011. He was released two years into his four year sentence for good behavior.

Circumstances
Conrad Murray had administered propofol and two types of Benzodaizepine anti-anxiety medications to Micheal Jackson after a rehearsal at the Staples Center took longer then expected- trailing on to midnight. Jackson retired to bed thus medicated. The  next morning Conrad found Jackson not breathing and with a dim pulse. Conrad began administering CPR but stoped 10 minutes in to make a 9-1-1 call stated he was unable to do so earlier due to the lack of a landline phone and not knowing the address stated he couldn't use his cell to contact emergency services. Upon finding a phone he first called security but got no answer. He then yelled for help catching the attention of a chef who called security as requested- by the time security arrived 30 minutes or more had passed.

According to statements made by those in attendence as Murry performed CPR on Jackson his method was none standard- rather then moving MJ on to a hard service he performed CPR while Jackson was still in bed. Conducting chest compressions with one hand while his other hand braced Jackson's back. By the time paramedics arrived jackson was in full cardiac arrest and not breathing. They preformed proper CPR for 42 minutes at the house before transporting him to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
