Michael Jackson reportedly begged doctors to be “put under” for several days after becoming addicted to a powerful sedative, it has been claimed.
The 50-year-old legend passed away suddenly in LA on June 25, and former plastic surgery nurse Kathryn Buschelle has now claimed the star would spend up to three days lying “like a living corpse”.
Kathryn, 41, is the long-term partner of one of Jackson’s plastic surgeons and she said that the star became addicted to Diprivan after taking it to ease the pain of laser facial peels he repeatedly had to lighten his skin.
She said: “Michael’s obsession with his appearance led to more and more skin treatments and his subsequent addiction to Diprivan led to even more. It was an insane cycle.
“He was burning his skin off and then being knocked out like a zombie. It reads like a horror movie. Towards the end of the 90s, he was a dead man walking, that’s how zoned-out he was.”
Kathryn added that the King of Pop wanted the drug so badly he would ask for cosmetic procedures even when they weren’t necessary.
She said: “The drug began to be the sole purpose he would come to the clinic. He would stay a few days, sometimes spending as long as 72 hours under. Michael mummified himself.
“He’d just lie like a living corpse.”
I have loved Michael and his music since I was child.
When he had HIStory tour in Munich, I wanted so much to go there and see him but I was just too young to go there on my own.
I am very gratefull to Michael for showing me how English is nice language, it is not my mother´s language but thanks to Michael I learned it and did some State exams from English.
Michael showed me answers to questions repeating in my mind such as Can we help to the world, animals, children and rainforests?
He was thinking about it much longer before I did and showed me the way how we can help.
His music went with me and my best friends through all my childhood and far.
I always knew Michael is innocent and sweet helping person.
So emphatic that many people are not even understand the level of love he felt to children and animals.
I feel very sorry for his lovely children as I also lost my father verry suddenly with no expectation so I know the pain.
I hope Katherine, Janet and the other will raise them good.
No Joseph please, we everybody know how he treated Michael.
If do not, just google and watch LIVING WITH MICHAEL JACKSON, where Michael speaks about ut.
If doctor Murray really killed him, he must be punished.
If Michael had any health problems than as his doctor he should have done anything possible to cure him and not to make him addict on drug, while imagine Michael still could have been here tears are coming to my eyes.
Thank you Michael for everything you gave me.
I will always love you.
