P. 168: On this particular night, Jackson told Murray he was tired and fatigued, and complained that he was being treated like a machine, before following his normal routine – leaving Murray and having a shower before returning to the bedroom where Dr Murray would apply a dermatological cream to Jackson’s body, primarily his back, after which the singer would put on his pyjamas. This was a nightly ritual for Murray and Jackson and would involve Benoquin, a treatment cream Jackson had been using for decades.

As soon as Murray had applied the dermatological cream to Jackson’s body, as well as fitting a condom catheter, the singer was desperate to get to sleep. Only an hour or so before, however, Jackson had been on stage, driving himself through rehearsals. Consequently, even at this time of the morning, the singer was still buzzing from the natural highs of performing and was unable to sleep. The fact that Jackson was still drinking Red Bull, that his bedroom was fully lit and that he insisted on playing loud music as he tried to sleep might have been a factor in him not being able to drift off easily, but, according to Murray, Jackson was adamant he needed these distractions in his bedroom to help him sleep.

Initially, Dr Murray attempted to talk with Jackson, to try to calm him down a little, but this had no effect on the singer who remained awake and restless. According to his police interview, Dr Conrad Murray then placed an intravenous drip into Jackson’s leg, just below the knee. This IV technique is the most common form of IV medication and is known as the Peripheral Cannula method. This method ensures the IV is injected into the veins peripherally in either arms or legs. The injected cannula contains an injection port that is separate from the regular tubing through which injections can also be administered alongside the saline. By now it was around 2am.

P. 175: The condom catheter was necessary, according to Dr Murray, as Jackson was incontinent, but it is more likely that Murray used both an incontinence pad placed beneath Jackson on the bed and a condom catheter mainly because the singer was apparently under anaesthetic every night and unable to control his urination rather than medically incontinent.
