Toxicologist: Propofol found throughout Jackson's body
Description
Michael Jackson had traces of the powerful anesthetic propofol throughout his body, according to a Los Angeles County toxicologist who testified on the eighth day of the Conrad Murray trial on Thursday (October 06).
Dan Anderson, a toxicologist for Los Angeles County, told jurors that Jackson's heart blood, urine and liver all tested positive for propofol. He also tested positive for lidocaine - another anesthetic.
Prosecutors are seeking to prove that Murray acted irresponsibly by administering propofol, and failed to monitor him properly.
Defense attorneys claim that after Murray gave Jackson propofol, the pop star took another, fatal, dose of the drug when Murray was out of the room.
Murray, who has pleaded not guilty, faces up to four years in prison if convicted.
