EDITED:

According to TMZ.com, Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s, executing a search warrant, found a virtual pharmacy set up inside Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch back in 2003.

What the sheriff found were heavy duty narcotic painkillers and sedatives, hypodermic needles, IV supplies and oxygen tanks, among other items.

Among the drugs found were several intravenous IV bags containing a milky white fluid. Although the potent sedative Propofol is a milky white emulsion, Propofol is packaged in vials. The milky white fluid could also be Lipids, a source of nutritional calories which is administered via IV. That would explain Jackson’s scarecrow appearance and the fact that no food was found in his stomach during autopsy.

Among the items seized were:

  • A vial of Versed — a powerful sedative
  • Several IV bags containing “a milky white fluid, located in a small cardboard box on top of the bathtub.”
  • A vial of Promethazine — an antihistamine with strong sedative effects
  • A bottle of Alprazolam (generic for Xanax, a powerful anti-anxiety drug)
  • A bottle of Percocet — a painkiller
  • A syringe
  • A vial with Demerol in it
  • Numerous loose pills outside bottles
  • A bottle of Prednisone — a steroid
  • Ery-tab — an antibiotic
  • Prescriptions for Xanax that had been filled
  • A prescription for Alprazolam
  • Oxygen tanks
  • IV stands

    • Interestingly, no IV infusion pump was listed among the items seized from the house. An IV pump would be necessary to administer both Diprivan and Lipids safely.
