Michael Jackson Drug Addiction, Singer Implanted With Drug To Kill Opiate High?
Michael Jackson got a medical implant in 2003 and it is believed to have still been in his body when he died in 2009, according to The Sun.
The implant, which was used against AEG in a court battle between Jackson’s family and the concert promoter, was intended to kill any high Jackson might have gotten from the substances he was taking. Called Narcan (also known as Naloxone), the implant is a drug that blocks the brain’s pleasure receptors, and it was used as a result of Jackson’s addiction to opiates.
AEG claimed that the King of Pop had a history of hiding what drugs he had taken from his doctors, according to court documents.
The company said Jackson’s one-time doctor, Beverly Hills anesthetist David Fournier, “believed Jackson had deceived him by not telling him about a ‘Narcan implant’ Jackson had inserted before a surgical procedure Fournier was helping with.”
The Jackson family is suing AEG for $40 billion, claiming the concert promoter pushed Jackson past his limits while preparing for a planned set of concerts in England. They also believe the company negligently hired Dr. Conrad Murray, who was later convicted for involuntary manslaughter in the Thriller singer’s death.
