Michael Jackson was so distraught over persistent insomnia in recent months that he pleaded for a powerful sedative despite warnings it could be harmful, says a nutritionist who was working with the singer as he prepared his comeback bid. [2]

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Michael Jackson was so distraught over persistent insomnia in recent months that he pleaded for a powerful sedative despite warnings it could be harmful, says a nutritionist who was working with the singer as he prepared his comeback bid. [3]

But a frantic phone call she received from Jackson four days before his death made her fear that he somehow obtained Diprivan or another drug to induce sleep, Lee said. [1]

It has also been implicated in drug abuse, with people using it to “chill out” or to commit suicide, Zacny said. [3]

Comedian Dick Gregory, who knows Lee and her work, said he believes Jackson’s insomnia had its roots in the pop star’s 2005 trial on child molestation charges. [...] She attended Los Angeles Southwest College and the Charles Drew University of Medicine and Sciences in Los Angeles.

“I said, ‘Michael, the only problem with you taking this medication’ _ and I had a chill in my body and tears in my eyes three months ago _ ‘the only problem is you’re going to take it and you’re not going to wake up,” she recalled. [3]

“I said, ‘Michael, the only problem with you taking this medication’ - and I had a chill in my body and tears in my eyes three months ago - ‘the only problem is you’re going to take it and you’re not going to wake up,” she recalled. [2]

Jackson’s health had deteriorated so much that his parents called Gregory, a natural foods proponent, for help. [4]

Following Jackson’s death, allegations emerged that the 50-year-old King of Pop had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants. [3]

According to Lee, Jackson said it had been given to him before but he didn’t want to discuss the circumstances or identify the doctor involved. [2]

An overdose that stops breathing can result in a buildup of carbon dioxide, causing the heart to beat erratically and leading to cardiac arrest, said Dr. John Dombrowski, a member of the board of directors of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. [4]
