“I did everything to try to help him,”; Murray told Cooper from behind bars. “I did the best I can.”;
The coroner ruled that Jackson died from a lethal combination of sedatives and the surgical anesthetic propofol. Murray faced scrutiny for ordering propofol to Jackson’s home, as the drug is traditionally administered in a hospital setting.
Murray, who is currently serving four years in jail, went to claim that he “never knew [Jackson] was an addict.”;

“I am extremely sorry that Michael has passed,”; lamented Murray, who considers himself to have been close friends with Jackson. “It’s a tremendous loss for me. It’s a burden I will carry for an indefinite period of time.”;
According to CNN, Murray is expected to be released in late October.
