POPSJackson's Doctor Gave Drug Officials Believe Killed Him A doctor would administer it when Jackson went to sleep, then stop the IV drip when the singer wanted to wake up. Propofol is powerful sedative drug. Once hooked on it, it is practically impossible to return back. To make the doctor a scapegoat for somebody's wreaked life is bizarre twist of common sense, although not seldom sign of despair. The official also provided a glimpse into how the pop star was living in the weeks before he died, describing the room in which Jackson slept in his rented Beverly Hills mansion as outfitted with oxygen tanks and an IV drip. The temperature upstairs was stiflingly hot when authorities arrived at the singer's house after his death. Gas fireplaces and the heating system were on high because Jackson always complained of feeling cold, the official said.
