The possibility that Jackson was taking medication oxycotin and demorol that could have contributed to his death at age 50 weighed heavily Friday on people close to the star.
In 2005, after he was cleared on charges of child molestation, Jackson spent a week at a center run by Dr. Deepak Chopra, a physician who focuses on spirituality and the mind-body connection.
During that week, Jackson asked Chopra for a prescription for a narcotic, .
“I said, ‘What the heck do you want a narcotic prescription for?’, Chopra said. “And it suddenly dawned on me that he was probably taking these and that he had probably a number of doctors who were giving him these prescriptions, so I confronted him with that. At first, he denied it. Then, he said he was in a lot of pain.”
Chopra said he told Jackson that there were plenty of other ways to handle his pain, but that the arguments were not persuasive.
He blamed Jackson’s death on drug abuse, though he offered no direct evidence.
“When you have enough drugs in your system, your heart goes into an arrhythmia and your respiration stops,” he said. “I think the drugs killed him.”
Brian Oxman, a former lawyer for the Jackson family who was in the emergency room Thursday, also expressed concern about medications the pop star was taking.
