LOS ANGELES (ABC 4 News) - Two months ago, it was a bulletin: the death of Michael Jackson. Now, a leaked search warrant lists a cause of death and another source claims the coroner is ruling his death a homicide.After months of speculation, unsealed court documents might begin to tell the story of Jackson's death. A leaked search warrant reveals a timeline showing the fatal combination of drugs Jackson was allegedly given in the final hours of his life.
Jackson's personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, had been treating the pop star for insomnia for the past six weeks before his death.
Murray had been using the powerful anesthetic Propofol, used to sedate patients before surgery. He says he was concerned his patient was forming an addiction to Propofol, and he was trying to wean Jackson off the drug by using a long list of other drugs instead, to help Jackson sleep.
Here's the fatal timeline of the night of his death:
At 1:30am, Murray gave Jackson the sedative Valium. It didn't work.
At 2:00am, Murray gave Jackson another sedative called Lorazempam...it too, didn't work.
At 3:00 am, the Doctor tried the sedative Midazolam...and still, he couldn't sleep.
According to the warrant, he continued, to administer additional sedatives at 5am and 7:30am, all failing to work.
Then, after quote "repeated demands from Jackson", at 10:40am, Dr.Murray gave Jackson a diluted batch of Propofol...intravenously.
After a few minutes of monitoring Jackson's pulse and oxygen levels, Dr. Murray says he stepped out of the room and when he returned two minutes later, he found Jackson stopped breathing.
Frantically, Doctor Murray says he tried to revive Jackson by performing CPR and giving him drugs to reverse the effects of Propofol. He called for help, but it was too late, Michael Jackson was already dead.
Today's court documents reveal that the police questioned what Dr.Murray says he did after giving Jackson the final sedative. That's because Murray's cell phone records show three separate calls, one as long as 47 minutes, at around the time Murray says he was trying to revive Jackson.
According to those same court documents, Dr. Murray did not tell investigators about the phone calls.
These findings could mean that Dr. Conrad Murray would face criminal charges. No charges have yet been filed against Dr. Murray.
