Benzodiazepine Effect: Factor on Michael Jackson's Death

Posted: 28 Aug 2009 03:25 PM PDT

The main cause of Michael Jackson's death is "acute propofol intoxication" plus the benzodiazepine effect as a contributing factor, according to the medical report. The police are now eyeing manslaughter charges against MJ's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, for administering the drug to Jackson.

Benzodiazepine is a psychoactive drug that have varying sedative, hypnotic (sleep-inducing), anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), anticonvulsant, muscle relaxant and amnesic properties.
Per the report, after an examination of the body and thorough toxicology tests, the L.A. medical examiner found that the primary drugs that killed Jackson were the highly publicized sedative along with lorazepam, which is a benzodiazepine, a class of drugs similar to tranquilizers.

Other medications detected included midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine and ephedrine.

Dr. Jayson Hymes, Medical Director of Conservative Care Specialists Medical Group, said the coroner's cause of death report revealed Jackson died of a combination of substances, propofol being the last one that inevitably did him in.
