Michael Jackson, dead while still alive: used opiates and drug cocktails
Michael Jackson's doctor denied that he used morphine, but the tests show that Demerol was administered, an opiate, while his relatives considered him a "living dead."
According to thesun.co.uk, Jackson was ingesting a "cocktail" of eight drugs, including three pain relievers with strong effects.
The website offers a list of the medicines that the singer apparently took some time before his death:
Demerol, the singer was injected three times a day with this drug, whose effects are similar to those of morphine.
Dilaudid, a strong narcotic against pain.
Vicodin, another pain medicine that can be addictive if taken in higher doses than recommended.
Soma, a muscle relaxant that he took twice a day in doses of 2 mg.
Xanax, a sedative that Michael also ingested twice a day in doses of 0.5mg.
Zoloft, an antidepressant that Jackson ingested in doses of 100mg.
Paxil, another antidepressant used to treat anxiety and obsessive behavior. The singer was taking 20 mg pills.
Prilosec, a medicine for heartburn.
The singer's health aggravated the fact of consuming all those medications, because in recent times his weight had been reduced dramatically.
Jackson's babysitter reveals addictions and cult connections
Grace Rwaramba, who worked for Michael Jackson for 17 years and babysat his three children, reveals today in an interview the singer's addiction to drugs and his growing contact with the heterodox Islamic sect Nation of Islam.
In statements published by "The Sunday Times", Rwaramba, of Rwandan origin, explains that she often had to "pump" the artist's stomach after having consumed a cocktail of drugs.
The 42-year-old assistant returned from London to the United States on Saturday, where she hopes to reunite with Jackson's three children and she is to be questioned by authorities as a witness in connection with the death of the "king of pop" last Thursday.
The nanny makes a sad description of the singer in his last months, in which she apparently led a nomadic life, from hotel to hotel, without being aware exactly of his financial situation and ingesting chemical compounds.
"I had to pump his stomach many times. He always mixed so much," Rwaramba stated.
"There was a period when he was so bad that I didn't let the children see him ... he always ate little and mixed too much," she adds.
The babysitter, who began working for the artist as a secretary, explains that she once called the singer's mother and one of the singer's sisters, Katherine and Janet, to persuade her to quit drug addiction.
But, according to the newspaper, Jackson considered it a betrayal and fired her from her, which she apparently did on several occasions, most recently in December, although the Rwandan continued to visit the children, 12-year-old Prince Michael Jr. ; Paris, 11, and Prince Michael II (nicknamed Blanket), 7.
When she went to see them last April, she herself had to buy "Happy Birthday" balloons for Paris from her money, the Sunday said.
On another occasion, Jackson sent her to Florence (Italy) with a million dollars to buy antiques, but since they had no fixed address, they had to store them in a warehouse.
About his 50 concerts scheduled for this summer in London, Rwaramba points out that the singer was not aware of the commitments he was making.
"Fifty performances! I told him: 'But what are you doing?', And he replied: 'I have only signed for ten'. He did not know what he was signing. He never knew," says the assistant.
Rwaramba comments that Jackson was increasingly under the influence of the Chicago-based religious-political group Nation of Islam, a split from traditional Islam targeting the black population that has controversial beliefs, such as that this race is superior.
According to the babysitter, the sect led Jackson to believe that the rent for his mansion in Los Angeles cost $ 100,000 a month, but she is convinced that the price was raised and was up to four times higher than other similar residences in the area. .
According to information published by the newspaper, the group provided her with bodyguards and allegedly intimidated auction houses that had tried to sell her objects.
