Jackson doc gave him death drug: Source

LOS ANGELES: Michael Jackson's personal doctor gave him a powerful anesthetic through an intravenous drip to help him sleep, and authorities believe the drug caused the pop singer's death, a law enforcement official told the Associated Press.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Jackson regularly received the anesthetic propofol and relied on it like an alarm clock.

A doctor would administer the drug when Jackson went to sleep, then would stop the IV drip when the singer needed to wake up.
