A British newspaper revealed the cause of shock behind the death of "The King of Pop" Michael Jackson.

The police who investigated the death of American pop star Michael Jackson discovered that his body contained large doses of a drug sufficient to kill a rhinoceros, the Sun newspaper reported Friday night.

The lawsuit came from police officers summoned to Michael's Palace in Los Angeles, where he died to make a documentary film about his death, and revealed that they were shocked by the large doses of the drug in his body, "propofol", a drug analgesic strong Too.

Dr. Conrad Murray, the American pop star's doctor, gave him lethal doses of the drug and added propofol to the salt solution so that no one would reveal it, the paper quoted Steve Schaefer, an anesthesiologist at Stanford University, as saying.

Michael Jackson was completely drugged and bedridden and could not breathe on his own during Dr. Murray's care.

Jackson died on June 25, 2009, of acute poisoning by Akkari, propofol and benzodiazepines, in his home in Holmy Hills, Los Angeles.
