Michael Jackson took propofol nightly, says star’s ‘doctor’
July 23rd, 2009
Michael Jackson fell victim to his own doctors, according to a physician who claims to be his true doctor.
In an exclusive interview with the Sun newspaper, Steven Hoefflin, 79, a plastic surgeon and confidant to Jackson, said he had viewed documents concerning the drugs Jackson had taken.
Moving to confirm propofol was among them, he said: “He was incredibly desperate to get to sleep. I believe the physician Dr Conrad Murray was hired by Michael with the sole purpose of giving him propofol at bedtime. Michael referred to that drug by the name ‘Milk’ as it looks milky.
“I have been told this by the family and, if you know anything about the drug – which should NOT be administered by anyone other than a trained anaesthesiologist and in a clinical setting – this is insane and dangerous.”
Hoefflin said witnesses during the investigation, to which he has been privy, have claimed they saw propofol being administered intraveneously by Murray every night at Jackson’s rented home in Holmby Hills.
