On June 25, 2009, Michael Jackson died of acute propofol and benzodiazepine intoxication after suffering cardiac arrest at his home on North Carolwood Drive in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. His personal physician, Conrad Murray, said he had found Jackson in his room, not breathing and with a barely detectable pulse, and that he administered CPR on Jackson's bed to no avail. After a call was placed to 9-1-1 at 12:21 p.m., Jackson was treated by paramedics at the scene and was later pronounced dead at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.On the eve of Jackson's 51st birthday, the Los Angeles County Coroner concluded that his death was a homicide.Shortly before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered propofol and three anti-anxiety benzodiazepines, lorazepam, and midazolam, in his home.His personal physician was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter and has served a two-year sentence in prison.
Jackson's death triggered an outpouring of grief around the world, creating unprecedented surges of Internet traffic and causing sales of his music and that of the Jackson 5 to increase dramatically.Jackson had intended to perform a series of concerts entitled This Is It to over one million people at London's O2 Arena between July 13, 2009 and March 6, 2010.A public memorial service for Jackson was held on July 7, 2009 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where he had rehearsed for the London concerts the night before his death.

The coroner is keeping the complete toxicology report private, as requested by the police and district attorney.On October 1, the BBC reported that the autopsy report revealed that Jackson was "very healthy" for his age and that his heart was strong. The document stated that Jackson's most significant health problem was his chronically inflamed lungs, but this did not contribute to his death. His other major organs were normal and he had no atherosclerosis except for some slight plaque accumulation in his leg arteries.The autopsy stated that he weighed 136 pounds (62 kg) with a height of 5'9" (175 cm), which equates to a BMI of 20.1.Fox News said that this confirmed rumors that Jackson was emaciated,while the Associated Press stated that his weight was in the acceptable range.The autopsy also revealed that Jackson's arms were covered with punctures and his face and neck were scarred.He was balding and had worn a wig for the last decade of his life.
