Michael Jackson deathbed: Chilling scene of star's final moments - mirror.co.ukMichael Jackson deathbed: Chilling scene of star's final moments
By Victoria Ward and Ryan Parry 3/08/2009
A picture has been published showing the bedroom where medics battled to save Michael Jackson.
The photo, which appeared in a Sunday tabloid at the weekend, was taken the day after the singer's death and shows the scene exactly as 999 crews found it when they were called to his home last month.
Jacko was pronounced dead two hours later and the second-floor room - thought to have been used by his personal doctor Conrad Murray - was immediately sealed as police launched an investigation. Nothing was removed.
In a powerful snapshot of his final moments, medical kit used to try to revive him lies discarded.
On the rug at the foot of the bed is a used Ambush-bag - a hand-held device used to resuscitate patients by forcing air through a mask and into the lungs.
More medical equipment is stored away on a wheeled trolley in the corner of the room including alcohol prepaid-lion pads, used to clean the skin before injections are given, a roll of surgical tape and a box of latex gloves.
On the bedside table is Wacko's glasses case, a half-finished bottle of orange and some Fiji mineral water.
A string of prayer beads, commonly worn by Jackson, is on the bed.
And what looks like an incontinence pad lies on the mattress where the cover has been thrown back and some blue ribbon believed to have been used as a tourniquet. Medics would have tied it tightly around Wacko's arm to find a vein to inject drugs.
An unopened tube of toothpaste is also on the bed and a doll can be seen poking out from the duvet.
Oxygen tanks are understood to be just out of sight.
It is believed the King of Pop suffered from chronic insomnia and used the strong unaesthetic Proposal to help him sleep, which is always given with oxygen.
But other equipment deemed vital in administering Propofol was absent from the 50-year-old's bedroom - kit that reports suggest could have saved his life.
