Investigators have found an extremely dangerous drug at the late Michael Jackson's home.

The medicine, named Propofol, is used to put patients under anaesthesia before surgery. It is known to burn, and the drug Lidocaine (which was found near Jackson's body when he died) is used to reduce patients' pain. It's so strong and dangerous if misused that a source explains: "There is no conceivable way this drug can be properly prescribed for home use."

A major potential side effect is cardiac arrest, which of course Jackson died from. The risk of such an outcome is significantly increased if taken in combination with narcotic painkillers.

Meanwhile, a nurse has revealed that Jackson begged her for Diprivan (a brand name for Propofol), which she says she refused him. She thinks he got the drug elsewhere though.

This drug is so dangerous - if some dodgy doctor or shady drug dealer has given it to Jacko, it's likely they'll be prosecuted for manslaughter. How could anyone be so bloody stupid?!?!!!
