With only three weeks remaining until opening night of the “This Is It” tour, which was to be Jackson’s last tour ever, sold out arenas awaited. Conrad Murray, MJ’s personal physician gave him something to help with sleep. The combination was lethal propofol, lorazepam, and midazolam, the cause of death was a propofol overdose.
