Lethal levels of powerful anaesthetic propofol killed pop star Michael Jackson, according to the preliminary findings of coroner which were unsealed in a court in Houston.

The released documents, including search warrants and affidavits filed by the police in July to search the Houston office and storage unit of Dr Conrad Murray, Jackson's personal physician, reveal that Murray accepted administering propofol to the pop star to treat his insomnia.

Murray told detectives that he had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night for six weeks but tried to wean Jackson off the drugs by lowering the dosage to 25 milligrams after he realised that the pop star was addicted to it.

Murray said he was not the first doctor to administer the dangerous sedative to the 50-year-old 'King of Pop' as he was already addicted to it.

Murray also claims in the documents that Jackson was also consuming prescriptions given by other doctors and when asked about it the pop star declined to provide the information.
