Did the world truly know what happened in Michael Jackson's final hours? The official cause of death, ruled a homicide, only scratches the surface of a complex web of prescription drugs, a desperate search for sleep, and a doctor who may have been in over his head.
The King of Pop's sudden passing on June 25, 2009, sent shockwaves across the globe, leaving millions in mourning and sparking a flurry of investigations into the circumstances surrounding his demise. While the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office ultimately determined that Michael Jackson's death was a homicide, caused by "acute propofol intoxication" in combination with sedatives, the story behind that finding is far more intricate and unsettling.
