Ep. 71 - Michael Jackson (Part 1/2)
Manage episode 425274257 series 3513574
Fifteen years ago this week, on June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died of an overdose of the anesthetic propofol, and blame was cast at Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of giving him the lethal dose. But Michael Jackson's death was decades in the making, stemming from an horrific on-stage accident that sparked a prescription drug addiction, which was then fed by physicians trying to curry favor with their famous client, and exacerbated by all of those who were more interested in getting him back on stage to make money than in saving his life.
Hosts: Jason Beckerman & Derek Kaufman
