Killing Michael Jackson is a 2019 documentary film directed and produced by Sam Eastall, focusing on the death of singer Michael Jackson.[2] The documentary features Orlando Martinez, Dan Myers and Scott Smith – three detectives who were involved in the initial investigation of Jackson's death.[3][4]
Synopsis
On June 25, 2009, American singer Michael Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication at his home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills.[5] His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said he found Jackson in his room, not breathing and with a weak pulse, and administered CPR on Jackson to no avail.[6]
On August 28, 2009, the Los Angeles County Coroner ruled that Jackson's death was a homicide.[7] Shortly before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered propofol and two anti-anxiety benzodiazepines, lorazepam and midazolam, in his home.[8] Law enforcement officials charged Murray with involuntary manslaughter on November 7, 2011[9] and he served two years of his four-year prison sentence, with early release for good behavior.[10]
The documentary debuted in North America on September 7, 2020, on Bounce TV.
