Michael Jacksons cardiac arrest may have been the result of using Demerol, a powerful synthetic narcotic drug. Reportedly Michael received an injection of the painkiller before his breathing slowed and he suffered cardiac arrest.
Michael was receiving pain treatment, related to performance injuries, by using Demerol, a narcotic drug similar to morphine that carries a high potential for abuse. According to Brian Oxman, a Jackson family lawyer and spokesman, Michael Jackson had been struggling with pain. Oxman told CNN, “I can only tell you that this is not something which has been unexpected.”
He went on to say, “This family has been trying for months and months to take care of Michael Jackson. The people who have surrounded him have been enabling him: if you think that the case of Anna Nicole Smith was an abuse, it is nothing to what we have seen taking place in Michael Jackson’s life.” Oxman says he warned about the risks of Michael Jacksons use of medications. Demerol is a narcotic that requires close monitoring for side effects, and in particular respiratory depression.
Demerol, especially if mixed with other pain killers or sedatives causes central nervous system depression, and can increase the chances of cardiac and respiratory arrest. Reportedly Michael collapsed after receiving the narcotic injection.
Autopsy results, including toxicology screens will tell us if Michael Jackson is another victim of drug abuse from Demerol or other narcotics or sedatives. Until autopsy and toxicology reports are completed, speculation undoubtedly will ensue as to whether Demerol caused Michael Jacksons cardiac arrest and death.

Smooth Criminal
Further information: Smooth Criminal
Jackson plays a benevolent gangster who uses his powers, as a crime fighter, to protect the children of an unnamed big city. The film opens with a framing sequence depicting a scene linked to events occurring near the end of the film, in which a group of children (including Sean Lennon) watch as Jackson exits a music store and is attacked by mobsters with machine guns. The film then backtracks to a scene of Jackson playing in a field with those children and their dog. The dog runs away, but in their search for it, Jackson and the children uncover the lair of Mr. Big, Frankie Lideo (Joe Pesci, as a parody of Michael Jackson’s manager, Frank DiLeo), a drug-dealing mobster with an army of henchmen, who wants to get the entire populace of Earth addicted to drugs, starting with the children.
Mr. Big discovers Jackson and the children, but they escape; Jackson tells the children to meet him at Club 30’s, which turns out to be a haunted nightclub abandoned since the 1930s. The story goes back to the mobsters attack on Jackson, and here it is revealed that Jackson is actually a magical gangster, who draws his power from shooting stars. As one passes by the club, Jackson transforms into a sportscar and mows down several of Mr. Big’s henchmen. The story picks up on the children at Club 30’s, and at first the children are afraid, but when Jackson appears the scary atmosphere of the club transforms and the children find themselves back in the 1930s. The club is now filled with zoot suiters and swing dancers. Jackson participates in a dance-off with the other club members, which serves as the music video for “Smooth Criminal”.
The version of the song used in this segment is different from the album version — there are several new lyrics and the song is much longer, including symphonic material by Bruce Broughton. The extra lyrics are to make the story of the song clearer. The more commonly seen music video form is a four-minute collage of clips from the movie.
At the climax of the song, Mr. Big lays siege to the club and kidnaps one of the children, Katie. Jackson follows them back to Big’s lair and ends up surrounded by his henchmen. Mr. Big appears and mentally tortures Jackson by threatening to inject Katie with highly addictive narcotics. While Katie manages to wriggle free, Mr. Big decides he’s had enough and orders his men to kill Katie before finishing off Jackson, but not before a shooting star flies by. Jackson transforms into a giant robot and kills all of Mr. Big’s soldiers. After Jackson turns into a giant spaceship, Mr. Big gets into a large hillside mounted energy cannon, firing on the spaceship into a nearby ravine. The children are his next target, but the spaceship returns from the ravine just in time to fire a beam in the cannon with Mr. Big inside.
The sports car into which Jackson morphs in this segment is the 1970 prototype Lancia Stratos 0. The automobile now resides in the private show room of the Bertone stile center at Caprie (in Susa Valley)
