Michael Jackson had levels of drugs in his body consistent with someone undergoing major surgery on the day he died in 2009, a coroner’s expert said Monday.
Daniel Anderson, a Los Angeles County coroner’s office criminalist, testified that tests of Michael’s blood, urine and internal organs showed he had the anti-anxiety drugs Valium and lorazepam, the short-term anesthetic midazolam and lidocaine, a numbing cream that paramedics sometimes use in resuscitation efforts, as well as diazepam, nordiazepam, and lorazepam in his system. He did not have alcohol or marijuana in his system. But the propofol was of most concern, he said.
The level was “consistent with major surgery anesthesia,” said Anderson, noting that a level of 3.2 milligrammes per millilitre of blood was found in Michael Jackson’s body.
When Michael Koskoff, a lawyer representing the Jackson Family, asked Anderson: ”After you heard from investigators that Propofol was found in the home, what did you think?’, he replied:
“Propofol collected as evidence, it’s highly unusual. It raises a red flag in my eyes as a toxicologist…It’s very problematic if it’s found outside the hospital setting.”
