His death was caused by acute intoxication of propofol, a prescription anesthetic he had been taking as a sleep aid during preparations for his concerts. 

Former cardiologist Conrad Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson a fatal dose of the drug.

He served two years in jail and his conviction was upheld in 2014.
