Jackson doctor bought propofol in Vegas
Murray, Jackson's personal physician, allegedly bought the anesthesia from a Las Vegas pharmacy a month before the singer's June 25 death and had it shipped to Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Times cited court records unsealed Friday as saying.
Investigators in the case say the lot numbers on bottles found in Jackson's rented mansion matched those on a receipt found in Murray's Las Vegas office.
The 50-year-old entertainer's death was ruled a homicide after lethal levels of propofol and sedatives were found in his system.
Murray told police he administered the anesthesia to Jackson shortly before his death to help him sleep. The doctor also said the recording artist was addicted to the drug and he had been trying to help Jackson kick the habit.
No criminal charges have been filed in connection with Jackson's death.

I would really like to know how he became addicted to that particular drug to begin with, someone had to give it to him the first time, so who was it. People always talk about how the person who is the addict being responsible for their addiction, but noone ever looks to the doctors who write the script for them. They tell the patient that they need help to get off the drug while writing them a presciption. They give mixed messages because on the one hand they are telling you that this isn't any good for you and might kill you one day, while handing you a new perscription, if that isn't contradictory then I don't know what is. Why do the doctors still give out scripts to someone if they know the person is addicted to the drugs? Why would they do that, I just don't get it. Why not admit the person to a rehab center or somewhere to help them get better and stop giving them new scripts. I think the doctors should be held accountalble for their part in the addicts decline and sometimes unfortuneate death. the
