michael jackson's death(zhen yuan)


Hi, I am Zhen Yuan . Today, I am going to talk about Michael Jackson .
Based on my research on Michael Jackson’s death. The possible reasons for his death were either drug overdose or full cardiac arrest.

For cardiac arrest , it was said that when the paramedic arrived at his house ,the doctor had to do CPR and said that he was in deep coma when he reached the hospital.



For drugs overdose , it was a drug called painkiller Demerol same drug that is rumored to have been given to Michael Jackson in the moments before he “collapsed and stopped breathing,” according to a report in the British newspaper The Sun

“Demerol has a tremendous amount of side effects,” Dr. Patrick Annello, an anesthesiologist and pain management specialist at St. Francis Hospital on Long Island told FOXNews.com. “It can cause rapid heart rate, arrhythmias — and given in high enough doses — it can cause respiratory depression or shallow breathing.”

"After taking the Demerol, he started to experience slow, shallow breathing,” the source told the newspaper. “His breathing gradually got slower and slower until it stopped.”






What is Demerol?

Demerol is a narcotic analgesic with effects similar to morphine. It’s prescribed for relief of moderate to severe pain, and is sometimes used prior to- or during a surgical procedure to enhance the effects of the anesthesia which also have a side effect
