“that’s what caused his death”

TMZ has a story now that essentially confirms the Suns report this morning, that Michael Jackson died yesterday after a overdose of the pain killer demerol.

“A close member of Michael Jackson’s family has told us Jackson received a daily injection of a synthetic narcotic similar to morphine — Demerol — and yesterday he received a shot at 11:30 AM.  Family members are saying the dosage was “too much” and that’s what caused his death.”

Police would love to ask the doctor who administered the shot about all this, but he has apparently beat it (zing!):

…law enforcement is looking for a doctor who lived at Michael Jackson’s home — and the doctor is nowhere to be found … sources tell us a BMW belonging to the doctor was towed from Jackson’s home last night … the doctor gave Jackson an injection before he died.

That dude better run and keep running, because cops make a frowny face when you stab someone with a barrel full of drugs and then they die.
