JACKSON 'LIVING LIKE A DRUG ADDICT'

MICHAEL JACKSON was living like a drug addict when he died, according to a longterm friend of the singer.
The King of Pop passed away last month (Jun09) after suffering a cardiac arrest, amid rumours he was dabbling with dangerous medications.
Police searching his home following the tragedy confiscated several bags of drugs, including the powerful narcotic Demerol.
Terry Harvey, who was a close friend of the famous family, admits the Thriller hitmaker was dependent on drugs before his death - and had been since the infamous 1984 Pepsi commercial in which Jackson's hair accidentally caught fire.
Jackson was taking a powerful cocktail of drugs, including Propofol, Vistaril, anxiety drug Xanax, and anti-depressant Prozac in the weeks leading up to his death, according to Harvey.
He tells Britain's News of the World, "Michael had a long-term drug habit. He was no different to a drug addict living in a crack house. What he wanted was served up to him. He didn't go to the stores to get his fix, it was brought to him.
"He started in 1984 after he got burned filming that Pepsi advert. But in recent years it spiralled out of control and he was even self-injecting.
"By the end he knew how to administer these drugs himself as he had so much medical knowledge. Now he's dead everyone is washing their hands of it. I don't believe that Michael injected himself in the neck though.
"The jury is out on everyone in his inner circle. I believe some of them actually got him drugs. These people should be thrown into jail."
