Two questions about Michael

[Nonoka]

Hey everyone,

I'm really racking my brain with 2 things I'm wondering. I know that my questions are unfitting, but I really would be very grateful to get an answer as it would release me very much.

First, I've got one question about Michael's death:
Did Michael feel something was wrong with him in his very last minutes of his life or did he suffocate while he was asleep already so he didn't notice anything? After all that information we got during that trial, someone might know.

And second:
I know it's actually not permitted to call Mike an 'addict' here ...But I really can't get the question out of my head: After reading about Michael's sleeping issues and his desire to get medication via IV...I'm really wondering - Was Michael, just a tiny litte bit, an addict? Or am I understanding the whole thing wrong? Can someone explain shortly?

I know these questions are very unfitting and upsetting, but I'm really falling into despair because of them...They won't let me be, I can't get them out of my head as long as they're not answered

I'm sorry for that, but I really would like to know...

I try to answer the second question with my limited knowledge about medication:

I don't think that this indicates being an addict or not. This year I had very high fever which I couldn't cure with oral medication so I went to a hospital to get IV medication. This worked much better and faster. Some medication work better via IV than orally.

 

[HIStory]

I take medicine for high blood pressure. I take it every day. Am I an addict because I take medicine every day?

Michael did not use Propofol because it was fun for him or because he was addicted to it. He used it because he could not sleep. He did have an underlying health problem that needed to be treated. He tried several other medicine and they didn't work. Of course, Propofol should not have been the answer, ideally he should have looked for a sleep specialist who would have treated his problem in a complex way. But he used Propofol to treat a real, existing problem he had, not because he was addicted to it.

Demerol and other painkillers did not cause his death and weren't found in his system at the time of his death.

Based on the evidense and Dr Shafer's testimony. I believe Michael passed peacefully in his sleep.
He never woke up. I choose to believe that scenario it brings me peace of mind

Here is my opinion to answer your question
Michael was desperate for sleep. His choice of medication for that purpose may have been unconventional but I dont think that shows he was a addict. The definition of an addict is not a person who uses IV's Many people use IV for various medical reasons. Michael wasnt tying to abuse drugs for recreational purposes or to get high. He wanted something / someone to help him sleep.
