Not that it’s a big surprise, but LAPD think that Dr. Conrad Murray is trying to cover up the amount of Propofol he administered to Michael Jackson.
Murray told authorities that he administered 2.5ml of the drug shortly before Jackson died, but according to anesthesiologist Dr. John Dombrowski, that amount isn’t even enough to put someone to sleep.
An empty 20ml bottle of Propofol was found in Jackson’s bedroom, but several bottles were found in a secret compartment in his closet, including an empty 100ml bottle with a tear in the rubber stopper.
And that tear is a BIG deal!
There are two ways of administering the drug: sticking a syringe in the rubber stopper to withdraw a small amount or by using a spike, which can tear the rubber stop. Using the spike connects the entire bottle of Propofol to the IV tube, which needs an infusion pump to regulate the dosage.
Guess what?! No infusion pump was found in the house!
If Murray attached the 100ml bottle to the tube and all the contents entered Michael’s system, it would be 40 times more Propofol than he told the police that he administered.
Plus, why was there an empty bottle in a hidden compartment?!
Mayjah sketch, as usual.
