(CNN) -- Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran (pron. Sat-ya-vagina-swag-ran) (LA Coroner)  Jackson Tried to Count Drugs Because He Coudn't Sleep; Dr. 'Con' the Homicidal Concierge Doc, Who We Now Know, Speaks Like a Munchkin, Had To Relieve Himself; And in the Converse Circumstance to Elvis, Michael Jackson Died While HE was on the Commode - CNN.

Dr. Conrad Murray told police he gave Jackson propofol within hours of the singer's death, an affidavit says.

 Jackson propofol within hours of the singer's death

Maybe it was
anxiety over his upcoming comeback concert series in London, England.
Perhaps his body was trying to process too many different medications.


The reason may never be known, but a sworn affidavit makes clear that
the King of Pop couldn't get rest the night before he died on June 25.


The affidavit, from Detective Orlando Martinez of the Los Angeles
Police Department, outlines probable cause for search warrants on the
offices of doctors who are thought to have treated Jackson.

Yet it also opens a window into

Jackson Tried to Count Drugs Because He Coudn't Sleep


final hours, revealing information about the singer's treatment and the
drugs given him by Dr. Conrad Murray, his personal physician, before
his death. Video Watch a panel discuss Jackson's death Michael Jackson Died While HE was on the Commode, and Dr. 'Con' the Homicidal Concierge Doc, Who We Now Know, Speaks Like a Munchkin»


Based on interviews, visits to Jackson's home as well as records and
documents gathered during the investigation, the affidavit provides the
following account of Jackson's last days:

In May, Jackson hired
Murray, a cardiologist. The singer was spending long days rehearsing
for concerts that he saw as crucial to reviving his career.






For six weeks, Murray told police that he treated Jackson for insomnia.
He said he had been giving the singer an intravenous drip with 50
milligrams of propofol, diluted with lidocaine, every night to help him
sleep.

Jackson was already familiar with propofol, a powerful
anesthetic, Murray said. The singer even called it his "milk" because
of its milky appearance, he said.

With the concerts approaching,
Jackson started to need these drugs every night, Murray said -- and the
doctor said he worried that Jackson was becoming addicted to propofol.
He wanted to wean Jackson off the drug.

Three days before
Jackson's death -- on June 22 -- Murray gave the singer a combination
of drugs that he hoped gradually would move the singer off propofol.


That mixture involved propofol, the anti-anxiety drug lorazepam (known
by its brand name, Ativan) and midazolam (known as Versed) (SEE MY UPCOMING EXPOSE ON MICHAEL'S RIDICULOUS ZOMBIFICATION INTAKE, AND A REPRINT OF MY HUUUGE POST ON VERSED.)

It
succeeded in helping Jackson to sleep for that night and the next,
Murray said.

But by the night of June 24, Jackson again apparently was unable to sleep.
At 1:30 a.m. on June 25, Murray decided to forgo the propofol in favor
of 10 milligrams of Valium. Half an hour later, with Jackson still
awake in bed, Murray injected the singer with two milligrams of
lorazepam.

It still wasn't working.

At 3 a.m., Murray
gave the singer two milligrams of midazolam, pushed slowly into his IV.
And two hours later, with Jackson still awake, Murray administered
another two milligrams of lorazepam through Jackson's IV.

The drugs did nothing to help Jackson sleep.

At 7:30 a.m., Murray gave the singer another two milligrams of midazolam in his IV.


By that point, Murray wasn't even leaving Jackson's room anymore, let
alone his bedside. The doctor told police he sat next to the singer in
his bedroom, monitoring Jackson's pulse and oxygen levels.

More than three hours later, despite a night of medication and doctor's care, Jackson remained awake.


Jackson was repeatedly asking -- even demanding -- that Murray give him more propofol to help him sleep, the doctor told police. So Murray
finally administered 25 milligrams of propofol diluted with lidocaine
via Jackson's IV drip.

The singer now had his "milk," and it
worked. After a restless night, Jackson was finally able to close his
eyes and go to sleep.

Murray told police he watched Jackson
sleep for about 10 minutes before going to the bathroom.

It had been a
long night for both of them.

Michael Jackson Died While HE was on the Commode»

The trip to the bathroom took less
than two minutes, Murray told police. But when he came back, he said,
he saw Jackson wasn't breathing.

He started cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but it didn't work.

Jackson was rushed to the hospital and pronounced dead later that afternoon.

According to court documents released Monday, Dr. Lakshmanan Sathyavagiswaran (pron. Sat-ya-vagina-swag-ran), the chief medical examiner-coroner for Los Angeles Count concluded Jackson Died While Dr. Murray was on the Commodeyof an overdose of propofol.


(pron: Sat-ya-vagina-swag-ran) reached that preliminary conclusion after reviewing
toxicology results carried out on Jackson's blood, according to a
search warrant and affidavit unsealed in Houston, Texas.

The coroner's office would not comment on the statements in the affidavit.
But Ed Chernoff, Murray's attorney, took issue with some of the
information included in the court documents.

"Much of what was in the search warrant affidavit is factual. However, unfortunately, much is police theory," Chernoff said, specifically referring to media reports the coroner would rule Jackson's death a homicide.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said it has not yet seen a
police report on the case, and no criminal charges have been filed

The King's Legend - Untimely Deaths, Elvis Presley : People.com

Onstage, he was a powerhouse—every woman's dream. Off, he was like a little child who needed more care than anyone I ever met.

When Elvis leaps into the spotlight and, at the end, into the by-rote grinds that still sent his following into frenzy, Linda Thompson could watch from backstage and know she was where all those screaming, trembling women wished they were—in his bed. (now that's a fucking sentence) Presley had a former wife, Priscilla (who gave him a daughter), and a strong mother-presence, but of all the women who were current in his life, Linda was preeminent, having shared the tempestuous five-year passage between his separation and their own tentative break just months before his sudden death. When they found him in his bathroom (with a book beside him relating the supposed discovery of Christ's skeleton), it was Linda whom his daughter, Lisa, called before anyone else. "Linda, my daddy is dead," she said. "No he's not, baby," Linda heard herself saying. "God, please don't let it be."

Born, as Elvis was, to the God-and-country South, Linda, 25, helped decorate and became a fixture herself in Graceland, the serendipitously overtaken Memphis mansion that housed the hillbilly Howard Hughes. There she got to know not only the superstar but also the terrified human within: a man she called "Button" and who called her "Precious." He played rumbustious (NEW WORD I NEVER HEARD BEFORE, OF THE DAY.) bumper cars in golf carts on the lawn. Gun-happy, he shot out bedroom TV sets in fits of fury, but he could laugh out loud at Peter Sellers and Monty Python or sob at the songs that moved him. He abhorred the hard rock he helped make possible and blue jeans ("field clothes," the Mississippi-born poorboy called them) and loved his long-dead mother more than anything in his life.

Linda was a 20-year-old beauty queen (she got as far as Miss Tennessee in the Miss U.S.A. contest) when a friend brought her to the Memphis theater Presley had rented for an evening's screening with friends. "When the movie started he came and sat next to me and started getting a little friendly—you know, the old yawn and stretch of the arm behind the seat," she recalls. After he explained his marital status (six months' separation), that sanctified their overnight connection. "We were together almost 24 hours a day," she remembers. "He was a super-romantic—he showers you with gifts and loving little gestures and pet names. He was very manly, very powerful, and he would put you in your place if you needed it. But he was every woman's dream in every way." Women always asked her what his kiss was really like. Her answer: "Real good."

There was also the avalanche of gifts: Cadillac, jewels, even houses for her and her parents nearby. Until last December Linda rarely used hers, acclimating instead to the scrambled routine of life in the mansion, which began after dark. "I saw him mostly in his pajamas," she recalls. "We would show films in the downstairs projection room and watch TV a lot. We had friends in to discuss spiritual things—Elvis belonged to a Self-Realization church. We read the Bible to each other and wrestled with each other and sang together [he on harmony]. We were little children with each other. We literally talked like babies, and that's how we thought of each other, like babies."

He felt no embarrassment for his riches—"If God didn't want me to have these things," he told her, "I wouldn't have them"—but on occasion a feeling of isolation descended on him like a dense cloud. "He loved so deeply," she says, "but he could reverse that and become very angry, and that's where all the rumors about a violent temper came in. He had high blood pressure, you know, so I would just say, 'Button, go take your medicine.' He'd say, 'You're right,' and soon it would be over." Periodic bouts of intense loneliness were the reason why he surrounded himself with the Memphis mafia, she figures—and why he saw other women, while insisting she be faithful. "He needed that, the interaction of sitting down and talking and getting feedback," she remembers. "He needed and wanted more love than anyone I've ever met. I lived with that as long as I could."

Still, she says, the dark syndicated portrait of Elvis as a pill-popping, pistol-packing womanizer (which is painted by three former bodyguards in a new book) is "horribly over exaggerated." "Elvis never even drank or smoked," she says. While admitting he took sleeping pills and amphetamines on occasion, his personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos of Memphis, says flatly that Elvis "was not abusing drugs." The strength of his fundamentalist mother's hold on him would not seem to have allowed it. "She had always told him to marry a brown-eyed woman—they were more loyal. Maybe, because I was a Southern girl, I reminded him of his mother," says the brown-eyed Linda.

But during his last year, life in the mansion began to chafe. "He had the same people around all the time," Linda found. "There was no interaction with outside people, the hours were totally reversed—up all night, asleep in the daytime—and I didn't get to see my friends and family. I did that for five years, thinking 'he'll change,' but he never did. He had lived that way for 25 years. Neither of us wanted to part, but it was time." That was December, and she played in Hee Haw and a bit in Starstruck & Hutch.

Then he was gone, and gone in a way that plagues her. "He was dead for three hours before anybody found him," she says. "People should have been checking on him. He was never five minutes out of my sight. He needed that smothering affection. Where was everybody when he needed them?" Like other Presley intimates—including his dad, doctor and road manager—Linda doubts he was about to marry Ginger Alden, who was there when he died, and she says the notion is nonsense that he foresaw his death at 42 (the same age his mother died in 1958). Just a few months ago, Linda remembers telling him, "Button, you need to take better care of yourself. You know, you're not immortal." "Ah, don't worry about me," Elvis replied. "I'm going to live a long time. There's a lot for me to do yet."

just found the dr. nick nichopoulos that's exactly like dr. conrad murray and also this photo of elvis' crypt before interment....oooooooohhhh

CATALOGUE NOTE



As a metaphor for female sexuality, for the human life cycle, and as a symbol of growth and beauty, flowers have played an important role for numerous artists over the course of art history. From his earliest inflatable works to his more recent large-scale outdoor sculptures such as Puppy (1992) and Balloon Flower (1997), floral motifs have been a recurring subject for Jeff Koons. They are scattered about the base of Michael Jackson and Bubbles (1988), and a number of his other Banality sculptures, and they figure prominently in a number of works that Jeff Koons grouped together with the fateful title Made in Heaven.

In 1989 a New York City billboard on Broadway was unveiled as Jeff Koons’ contribution to the Whitney Museum’s Image World exhibition. The large image is one that seems to advertise a film entitled "Made In Heaven," starring the famous young artist and the famous Italian porn star Ciccolina. The artist is naked, the porn star is dressed in lacy white underwear. They lie together on a large bronze rock-like form, a commercially illustrated wind mural swoops into the composition all around them. The image is part Harlequin Romance Novel cover and pure post-modern irony at its best. It recalls many canonized images stored in our collective pop-culture memory bank; yet, it is strikingly different and it appears in a different context from those things to which it refers. The poster teases. It reveals very little about the meaning or content of the mysterious project it serves to illustrate and promote, Made in Heaven, and it ultimately leaves its viewer with more questions than answers.

Two years later, in 1991, Jeff Koons’ Made in Heaven exhibition opened simultaneously in New York and Cologne, and the expectations were incredibly high for the seemingly unstoppable artist. His previous show, Banality, had been his most critically and commercially successful one to date, and it had been three years since Koons had exhibited in a commercial gallery. The billboard, along with a sampling of works from the Made in Heaven series shown at the Venice Biennale in 1990, had left people wanting more, and now, finally, Koons gave his audience, as always, that which they most desired. In his most daring and self-implicating move yet, Koons delivered his most controversial body of work.

Made in Heaven presented an ambitious and highly varied number of new works in two and three dimensions. Starring Koons and La Ciccolina (the couple were now married) as promised in the billboard, large photographically produced paintings and life-size sculptures showed the stars engaged in various sexual positions. A number of sculptural works in wood, marble and glass rounded out the show balancing blatant sexual content with demure suggestiveness. The show and the body of work itself marked a turning point for Koons: a shift towards the personal and autobiographical, a full embrace of spectacle, and a natural historical adjustment from the eighties into the nineties.

One work from the series, Mound of Flowers is an organic liquid bouquet of glass petals and leaves. It comfortably situates itself, as to be expected from Koons, on the border between high and low, a tribute at once to kitsch and to Baroque and Rococo decorative motif. It borrows from the typical kitsch vernacular of ornamental glass, but heightens and stretches the form to unprecedented levels. In reference to the work, Koons explains, ``I am trying to capture the individual’s desire in the object, and to fix his or her aspirations in the surface, in a condition of immortality.’’ (Exh. Cat., Paris, Galerie Jean de Noirmont, Jeff Koons, 1997, n.p.)

Koons’ words touch on themes of desire, surface and immortality, themes that can be seen in all of his work that leads up to this point. They are themes that figure prevalently in Mound of Flowers. Koons immaculately infuses this work with desire, using the work’s surface, and contrasting ideas about beauty and the grotesque, as his raw material. Mound of Flowers performs for its audience like any great spectacle: it evokes both positive and negative reactions that ultimately add up to a very engaging event. Its surface glistens and shines, appearing to be wet and begging to be touched. Each flower is open, asking to be gazed upon, ultimately suggestive of sexual entry. Simultaneous to its functioning as a mound of seduction, the work operates within another realm of desire: the grotesque. Its surface is so shiny that light itself reflects off of it, its brilliant colors are jarringly saturated.
