Did Michael Jackson die from Diprivan (aka Propofol) and what is Diprivan? Michael Jackson’s used Diprivan, says Cherilyn Lee.

The stunning Diprivan (which is also called Propofol) revelations come from Jackson’s nurse / nutritionist who just concluded both an interview with Campbell Brown on CNN and AP online moments ago.

DIPRIVAN® (propofol) is defined by RxList as the following:

“Injectable Emulsion is a sterile, nonpyrogenic emulsion containing 10 mg/mL of propofol suitable for intravenous administration. “

Drugs.com says of it the following:

“Diprivan is used to start or maintain anesthesia during certain surgeries, tests, or procedures. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Diprivan is a general anesthetic.”

Diprivan is reportedly given only intravenous (IV). Following the interview, Sanjay Gupta told CNN this is a drug used in ICU and he was not familiar with someone taking it outside a hospital.

The AP report as covered by Rolling Stone claimed the following:

“An overdose of a sedative like Diprivan can cause a person to stop breathing, leading to a buildup of carbon dioxide in the body that ultimately leads to erratic heartbeat and cardiac arrest, an anesthesiologist tells the AP.”

Lee says that in her time of servicing Jackson from January to March 2009 she never saw a doctor present and did not know who his doctor was. When she found out Jackson was taking Diprivan weeks ago, she told Michael Jackson to stop, she did not know what doctor was giving to him, she did not see a doctor present giving it to him, and he would not tell her which doctor prescribed it.

Lee told Jackson “look this medication is not safe”. Jackson did not follow her advice.

Brown asked Lee if she knew which doctor was giving it to him. Cherilyn Lee said she did not and did not see a doctor attending to Jackson during this time.

As reported to you last Thursday, Jackson stopped breathing prior to his death suddenly shortly after noon PST.

But just days before Jackson’s death, Lee got a phone call while out of town from a person. She said she did not want to say who it was but did know the person’s identity. Cherilyn Lee was told of Jackson’s symptoms.

1. One side of his body cold
2. One side of his body hot

Lee told the person to take Jackson to the hospital. She says she assumed “somebody had given him something that hit the central nervous system.”

“He was in trouble Sunday and he was crying out.”

By Thursday Jackson passed. A second autopsy on Jackson’s body is said to be complete. Details will be released shortly.

MAP! Here is a map and address of Neverland Ranch. Michael Jackson Neverland Ranch ranch is north of Santa Barbara, Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez, and south of Santa Maria.

The home is closest to the 101 Freeway.

Earlier today LALATE broke to you that Michael Jackson’s body will be transported from Los Angeles to Neverland Ranch on Thursday at 10 AM PST. A public memorial will then be held at Neverland Ranch on Friday.

Neverland Ranch is located at
5225 Figueroa Mountain Rd
Los Olivos, CA 93441

In the early part of this decade, Forbes estimated Neverland was worth at least $120 million. At the time, the ranch was in top condition. But in later years, the property deteriorated. In February 2008, Financial Title Company reported a $24 million mortgage on the property was not getting paid by Jackson and would prompt the mortgager to schedule a public auction March 2008. That sale was then halted on news Fortress Investment would become involved. It’s unclear what became of Fortress but then a May 2008 sale was back on the calendar.

That sale was stopped by an 11th hour deal between Jackson and Tom Barrack’s Colony Capital. Colony Capital picked up the note, $24.5 million, and Jackson told press in May:

“I am pleased with recent developments involving Neverland Ranch and I am in discussions with Colony and Tom Barrack with regard to the Ranch and other matters that would allow me to focus on the future.”

By November, Jackson sold an unknown property interest in the estate for $35 million. Jackson’s remaining percentage in the property is unknown.

Over the weekend, LALATE broke to you initial proposals to turn Neverland Ranch into a Graceland like museum. As of Tuesday 10 am PST is it unclear if Michael Jackson will be buried at Neverland. But initial proposals last weekend suggested that as the hope, with a return of Neverland ranch contents previously slated for a Beverly Hills auction, and a restoration of the extensive acres and grounds at the Ranch.
