As Joan Rivers’ prognosis grows more dire each day, RadarOnline.com has learned that medical investigators are growing ever closer to uncovering the real reason the healthy 81-year-old was sent spiraling into a coma after a standard medical procedure. And according to insiders, they believe the culprit could be a fatal dose of Propofol — the same drug that killed Michael Jackson after he was administered a lethal dose.

Some people love Profofol, swear by it because its a quick recovery compared to other sedations(Trust me Ive been sedated more times than most it takes about an hour to get over it and even then I would need a wheelchair) but with Profofol, you have to know what amount to give..and the person has to be watched, constantly, any change of blood pressure, or breathing rate has to be constantly looked at. They make you sign a waver for ANY kind of procedure that involves sedation so they can’t be liable..but if they gave her a fatal dose, they can be sued.

It would have been better had she never been sedated in the first place
