LOS ANGELES - Michael Jackson’s doctor told investigators he administered the powerful anesthetic(麻醉剂) propofol to the late pop star, said a law enforcement official with knowledge of the investigation into the singer’s death. Authorities are working under the theory that a dose of the drug is what killed Jackson, the official said.
The official, who requested anonymity(匿名) because the probe is ongoing, told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Dr. Conrad Murray said he gave Jackson propofol the day he died. The official said Murray told investigators he had administered the drug several times previously to help Jackson sleep.
