Though he was preparing for a multi-million dollar blockbuster performance, the late Michael Jackson spent his last hours in squalor. In his new tell-all, 83 Minutes: The Doctor, The Damage, And The Shocking Death Of Michael Jackson, authors Matt Richards and Mark Langthorne describe the sad scene where the drug-addled star took his very last breaths.
Jackson, just 50 years old, was preparing for his string of comeback U.K. performances in June 2009. But after hours, he retreated to the “squalid lifestyle of a drug addict.” “Tables were strewn with medical paraphernalia such as vials of drugs, syringes and tubes,” Richards and Langthorne wrote of the star’s bedroom in his Holmby Hills mansion. “Plastic bags, scattered on tops of chairs and tabletops, contained latex gloves, creams and saline bags.”
The singer — who was famously accused of child molestation first in 1993 and again ten years later — had white plates with photos of babies and young children on his bedroom dresser, police pictures prove.
In a puzzling move, he had at least 11 oxygen tanks near an electric fan.
“On the bed rested a porcelain doll with curly golden hair, dressed in a beige romper-suit with images of animals adorning its chest,” the authors said.
“Various tubes of pills and tablets” were discovered on shelves.
The room was covered in gold detailing, yet contained mountains of medications.
Jackson, who depended on powerful anesthetic Propofol to sleep, didn’t try to hide his addiction in his private space, which he only shared with personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray.
The bedroom “smelled terribly,” as he refused to allow cleaners inside, Richards and Langthorne alleged.
Sadly, Jackson’s three young children were permitted to go inside the drug-strewn room, the authors claimed.
