According to the 2009 autopsy report (pdf), “the cause of death is acute propofol intoxication,” which caused the singer to stop breathing. In addition to propofol (a hypnotic drug used for general anesthesia, sedation and in veterinary medicine as a surgical drug for sedation for surg4ery, the examiner also found traces of lorazepam (a benzodiazepine drug used to treat anxiety and insomnia); midazolam (another benzodiazepine, indicated for insomnia and medical sedation); lidocaine (a local anesthetic often included with propofol to relieve injection pain); diazepam (a benzodiazepine to treat anxiety, insomnia and alcohol withdrawal); and nordiazepam (a benzodiazepine-derived sedative, often used to treat anxiety) in Jackson’s bloodstream. If the disease vitiligo was desired to be taken, it probably would have been. He had enough tranquilizers and pain medication in him to drop a horse most of the time.
