Los Angeles, August 28: Marijuana and empty drug bottles were discovered by the police at Michael Jackson’s home shortly after his death, according to the unsealed search warrants.
The family members of the pop star notified the cops about the existence of marijuana.
Two bags of marijuana, a bottle of temazepam (used to treat sleeplessness), empty bottles of the sedatives lorzaepam and diazepam were discovered during the search. They also found four other empty pill bottles with no indication as to what may have been in them, People magazine reported.
“On the day of Jackson’s death, as investigators were at the house, family members of the decedent notified Los Angeles County Coroner’s Assistant Chief Ed Winter that they had located a quantity of tar heroin in (Jackson’s) bedroom on the second floor of the residence. Winter notified LAPD detectives of the found evidence,” the warrants said.
Investigators believe that Jackson died because he “received injection of an unknown medication, prior to his death,” the warrants say.
It has already been revealed that “lethal level” of anaesthetic propofol caused Jackson’s death.
Jackson’s personal doctor Conrad Murray is at the centre of Jackson’s death investigation after he admitted to giving propofol to the singer in a bid to treat his insomnia.
