Doc Claims MJ OD'd By Topping Up Own Drip!!
By James Desborough, 30/08/2009
GROGGY Michael Jackson killed HIMSELF by MISTAKE by taking an overdose of anaesthetic, his medic Dr Conrad Murray will claim.
Dr Murray's legal team will argue that a frail and sleepdeprived Jacko administered himself a KILLER dose of his "milk" - knock-out drug Propofol.
Murder suspect Murray, 56, admitted he hooked the Thriller star up to a drip with the anaesthetic, which is normally used for hospital patients undergoing medical procedures.
Murray claims he set the drip to administer just 25 milligrams of Propofol into the star's bloodstream so he could sleep.
But he will argue that Jackson RE-SET the machine to increase the dosage, and that eventually led to cardiac arrest.
But medical experts last night questioned Murry's line of defence.
They say 25mgs of Propofol would not have been enough to send Jacko to sleep for a few minutes, let alone knock him out.
Dr Kathleen London, a US family practice physician, said: "Murray says he only gave 25mgs of Propofol. I don't believe that. In order to induce sleep, 40mgs is needed."
On Friday, it was confirmed that Jackson died of acute Propofol intoxication mixed with a cocktail of other sedatives.
