This week in celebricide, everything old, dystopic and metaphorical is new, banal and real.
From the LA Times:
Michael Jackson died of 'acute propofol intoxication,' coroner says
August 28, 2009
The Los Angeles County coroner's office officially ruled the death of Michael Jackson a homicide and said he died of "acute propofol intoxication."
According to a statement from the coroner: The "manner of death has been ruled homicide. Cause of death was established as acute propofol intoxication. Other conditions contributing to death: benzodiazepine. The drugs propofol and Lorazepam were found to be the primary drugs responsible for Mr. Jackson’s death. Other drugs detected were midazolam, diazepam, lidocaine, and ephedrine. The final coroner’s report includes a complete toxicology report will that remain on security hold at the request of the Los Angeles police department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office"

According to an affidavit unsealed in Houston last week, Murray told police that Jackson spent his last hours pleading for a dose of a powerful anesthetic.
Murray said he resisted -- fearful that the pop star had developed a dangerous addiction to propofol. Instead, Murray administered the sedatives Valium, lorazepam and midazolam -- five times over six hours. But none put Jackson to sleep and he continued to demand his "milk," the word the doctor said the pop star used for propofol.
...
Jackson had specifically asked concert promoter AEG Live to hire Murray as his $150,000-a-month physician to travel with him to London, where he was scheduled to perform 50 concerts.
Can you stand up?

I spent half an hour playing a bunch of those Pink Floyd clips. Killed off a lot of brain cells with those gentlemen, back in the day.
I can't say I'm very surprised about Michael Jackson. No small amount of irony that he went out pretty much like Elvis. I guess monumental talent can be accompanied by monumental excess.
Selah.
Oops. First comment was me.
