Research Notes on Michael Jackson and Cherilyn Lee
Michael Jackson met Cherilyn Lee in January of 2009 through an acquaintance who suggested her medical services for his children.1 Lee is a licensed registered nurse and nurse practitioner who specializes in nutritional counseling in the State of California. She is fifty-six years old and attended Los Angeles Southwest College and Charles Drew University of Medicine and Sciences.2 Lee states Jackson often complained of insomnia and requested her assistance with the powerful sedative propofol. She constantly warned him of the potential side effects of propofol and that it may induce death.3 Jackson passed away on June 25, 2009.
Fast Facts:
