I knew this was coming. From the AP:

“Dr. Conrad Murray, a Las Vegas cardiologist who became Jackson’s personal physician weeks before his death, is the target of a manslaughter investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department. According to a search warrant affidavit unsealed Monday in Houston, Murray told investigators he administered a 25 mg dose of propofol around 10:40 a.m. after spending the night injecting Jackson with two sedatives in an unsuccessful attempt to get him to sleep.”

One of the two sedatives was Ativan, which apparently did not work.

Propofol is to blame, according to various press accounts, for Michael’s death.

While it’s not clear to me why MJ couldn’t sleep, it is simply stunning to me that an MD would do this to him.
