Stars, family honor Michael Jackson at funeral
(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-09-05 10:28 Officials have said a cocktail of medications, including the powerful anesthetic propofol and sedative lorazepam were the primary causes of Jackson's death. While several doctors who treated Jackson have been investigated, police have focused on his personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who was at his bedside when he suffered a heart attack in a rented Los Angeles mansion. Murray was hired by concert promoter AEG Live in the weeks before Jackson's death to watch over him as he rehearsed for a series of comeback concerts in London, scheduled to start in July. Those concerts were to have helped the singer pay off debts and shore up his finances. Jackson will be in stellar company at Forest Lawn, a stately 290-acre (117-hectare) property that is the final resting place of such Hollywood icons as Walt Disney, Humphrey Bogart, Errol Flynn, Nat "King" Cole and Jimmy Stewart. The cemetery will reopen to the public on Friday, with private security for Jackson's crypt, said a spokesman for the Glendale Police Department. The city went to unusual lengths to make sure the funeral went off without a hitch. Police helicopters with infrared technology started buzzing the cemetery on Wednesday night to make sure no one slipped in. Police dogs, plainclothes officers and private security guards also patrolled the area.
