Michael Jackson died in June 2009 due to acute propofol intoxication could be a murder on purpose.
Michael Jackson was all ready and set to launch a concert tour called This Is It for which he was rehearsing diligently. Unfortunately, he passed away on June 25th 2009 at the age of 50 before it could begin.
He had moved to LA to work on his new concert tour but one thing his ex bodyguard Bill Whitfield noticed in him and that’s heartbreaking.

Bill Whitfield, Michael Jackson's ex bodyguard who was with him since 2006, told The SUN that throughout his time with the singer, he had observed him closely, as well as his surroundings and interactions with his children and other individuals.
He explained further, he could see how hurt he was by those horrendous fake allegations and public trials. Michael Jackson was accused of child sexual abuse, molestation, kidnapping and was booked on November 20th 2003 for the same.
So to understand further, not only these public trials interfered in his career but also his peace of mind. We can say that he was mentally exhausted, depressed, and deeply hurt by such serious allegations.
Bill told in the interview at The Sun: "He was sad a lot. Things were different, he had just come off facing a couple of trials.”
Michael Jackson’s name was finally cleared in 2013, after 4 years of his passing away.
Remembering Jackson, Bill Whitfield, said to The Sun, "Jackson never intended to harm a child. That was not the man I knew.”
Bill also said, "It wasn't his character, you had to be around him to know him and I was there. So no, that wasn't him. And so it just still surprises me when I hear things like that.”
His ex-bodyguard Whitfield said "took its toll on the star -especially after the publicly played out trial."
Jackson may have passed away on an overdose of acute propofol intoxication but sometimes it takes more than that. What Bill Whitfeld meant to say was that he was depressed and mentally harassed, "So I know those accusations were hurtful for him, I can tell that changed him."
Bill respects Michael so much that he misses the time he was with him. Sadly, before the concert could kickstart, he passed away three weeks prior at his residency.
Although, his death right before the concert could start is suspicious. He was diligently rehearsing for his upcoming album This Is It and was excited about the launch of the concert.
Nobody had seen this coming. Initially the reason for his death was declared as cardiac arrest which later on ruled as homicide and his personal physician Conrad Murray was charged with manslaughter in 2011. He was giving Michael Jackson an unpredictable and potentially fatal anesthetic to treat insomnia.
Whitfield insisted that it was not an accident that the “king of pop” died all of a sudden, he also suggests this incident as murdered on purpose. To the question, “Do I believe that someone erred? He responded, “Indeed."
Bill ended the interview saying, "very good friend" - and saw Jackson in some of his most vulnerable moments.”
