Investigators have discovered the powerful drug Propofol, most commonly used as a general anaesthetic, at Michael Jackson’s Los Angeles home, sources have revealed to celebrity website TMZ.com.

Coincidentally, Propofol – also known as Diprivan – is the same drug that Jackson himself petitioned his former nurse Cherilyn Lee for whilst she was under his employ. A member of the Jackson entourage also contacted Lee four days before the King of Pop’s shock death, asking for the drug once more.

The drug is described as an “extremely dangerous and potent” substance that is only available to medical personnel.

“There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use,” the source said.

So, how did Jackson get his hands on a drug meant for hospital use only? That’s the million dollar question the investigators looking into his death would like answered.
