Death of Michael Jackson
· On June 25, 2009, less than three weeks before his concert residency was due to begin in London, with all concerts sold out, Jackson died from cardiac arrest, caused by a propofol and benzodiazepine overdose.
· Conrad Murray, his personal physician, had given Jackson various medications to help him sleep. Jackson's death was caused by the propofol overdose.
· News of his death spread quickly online, causing websites to slow down and crash from user overload, and it put unprecedented strain on many services and websites including Google, AOL Instant Messenger, Twitter and Wikipedia. Overall, web traffic rose by between 11% and 20%.
· Conrad Murray was charged with involuntary manslaughter, was found guilty and sentenced to four years in prison, but was released after one year and eleven months.
