Anaesthetic and skin-whitening cream found in Jackson house

Large quantities of general anaesthetic and dozens of tubes of skin-whitening cream were found in Michael Jackson’s home after his death, unsealed search warrants revealed today.

Investigators went to Jackson’s rented mansion on June 29 after a lengthy interview with his personal physician, Conrad Murray, who told them he had placed a medical bag in a cupboard.

Detectives found 11 containers of the powerful anaesthetic propofol, some of them empty, as well as a range of sedatives and various medical items including a box of blood pressure cuffs, according to the warrants.

Jackson’s death on June 25 at the age of 50 was ruled a homicide caused by an overdose of propofol and other sedatives.

Murray has pleaded not guilty to involuntary manslaughter.
