But neither request was apparently in place when Jackson died last June 25 after Conrad Murray administered a mixture of sedatives, including the anesthetic propofol, in an attempt to get the chronic insomniac to sleep. Propofol is extremely powerful and is usually administered only in medical settings with emergency equipment on hand. Patients are normally constantly monitored. Murray was alone when he gave the drugs to Jackson. After he realized the sedated star was not breathing, he performed CPR but was unable to revive him. He performed CPR on the singer while he was in bed instead of moving him to the floor, an action that was criticized after Jackson's death. The doctor has pleaded not guilty to an involuntary manslaughter charge in Jackson's death. His proposed contract with AEG, which included a monthly fee of $150,000, was not finalized before the singer's death. Murray never received payment for his services.
