Did A Demerol Overdose Kill Michael Jackson?

Michael Jackson reportedly died of cardiac arrest after an injection of the powerful painkiller Demerol. “Shortly after taking the Demerol he started to experience slow shallow breathing,” a source told The Sun. “His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped. His staff started mouth-to-mouth and an ambulance was called which got there in eight minutes, but paramedics found he was in full respiratory arrest, no breathing and no pulse. They started full CPR and rushed him to hospital. When he arrived they started resuscitation, giving him heart shocks and inserted a breathing tube and other supportive measures to try and save his life. He never regained consciousness. The family was told that he had passed.”

    These symptoms are typical of an opioid overdose such as Meperidine (demerol). However if we take into account that he was probably quite tolerant to these drugs as he had been abusing them for some years, the dose required to kill him would have been quite high. It is possible to say that he was deliberating administered a very high dose and is thus murder. Furthermore, there is a well known antidote to these opioids which ould have been administered by the ambulance staff. Why they didn’t do this is suspicious.
