Conrad Murray Tells His Story, Part Two: Michael Jackson’s Addictions [VIDEO EXCLUSIVE]

Michael Jackson‘s former physician Conrad Murray delves into the details of Jackson’s many addictions – one of which may have killed him – in part 2 of his exclusive video interview with uInterview.com.

While Jackson’s dependence on pain medications and powerful anesthetics is relatively well known, less known was Jackson’s fixation on women who were worryingly thin. As a part of Jackson’s inner circle, Murray got a window into the pop legend’s peculiar tastes.

“As guys, as we read through certain magazines that he enjoyed looking at, we would sometimes compare the various models and we would take a pic and try to say well, ‘I can guess which one you like versus which one he would like.’ He also always ended up with the thinnest girl, but eventually we figured out in discussion that he liked very very anorexic women,” Murray told uInterview. He added, “If you showed him a woman that looked like a bone, but was a great looking gal, then he would ask for her to be half the size of that bone to be even better. We laughed about that a lot.”

On an ordinary day, Jackson struggled with insomnia and would, according to Murray, often treat that with over-the-counter pills. But, when he was preparing for a tour or in the middle of it, his insomnia worsened. To treat it, he sought the help of physicians who were able to prescribe him powerful drugs. When Jackson died, a Propofol overdose was listed as the cause of death. Murray thinks the truth is more complicated.

“Michael Jackson was using Propofol for decades. But, many doctors that worked with him were anesthesiologists and if you look back at the history and look back at other things you will probably find that that is the case,” Murray explained. “One of the things that I learned, not just Propofol, because Propofol is not addictive, it’s not a dependent agent, it’s not a street drug, it has no value, nobody would pay for that.”

“The drug that he had was an opioid, similar to what took the life of Prince. I think Prince was using Fentanyl and another substance, but Michael Jackson was injected 51 times in the last 60 days of his life by Dr. Arnold Klein with Demerol,” Murray went on.

To put Jackson’s dependence on Demerol in perspective, Murray said that a patient with a broken bone who enters the emergency room would be given about 50 mg; Michael Jackson was apparently receiving up to 975 mg a day – in addition to other drugs. Murray claims that he wasn’t the one providing the Demerol for Jackson. That was, according to Murray, all Dr. Klein. But Murray admits that he did know that Jackson had a cache of Propofol from a source the singer wouldn’t reveal.

“He showed me his stash at home, in his bedroom this white sporting bag; the zippers could not even close with bottles,” Murray said. “I asked him, ‘Where you get all that stuff?’ and then jokingly Michael said, ‘If I told you Conrad I would have to kill you.’ But, he was well stocked with Propofol.”

In the end, Murray believes that Jackson had been suffering from a Demerol withdrawal in the days leading up to his death. In an act of desperation, Murray thinks that Jackson reached for the Propofol and unintentionally administered more of the drug than his body, having lost some of its resistance, could tolerate.

“Once he was cut off the substance was no longer in his body and the metabolizer was also gone. So, Michael Jackson was in acute full blown withdrawal unbeknownst to me. What he needed was Demerol and I think the withdrawal stage made him a desperate man and he may have misjudged the risk that he would have taken in my absence and that is what I believe caused his demise,” Murray told uInterview.
