Michael Jackson's death was caused by Tylenol

RecordOBS-0848
CategoryHealth/Vaccines
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryA fringe theory that Michael Jackson's death was caused by an overdose of Tylenol (acetaminophen), rather than propofol. This was a media speculation that sought a common culprit.
OriginShortly after Jackson's death in 2009, when media outlets investigated possible drug side effects.
Claimed
  • Tylenol, a common drug, was responsible for Jackson's death.
  • The stronger varieties of Tylenol containing codeine have serious side effects that could be fatal.
Evidence / consensusThe official autopsy determined the cause of death was acute propofol intoxication. Tylenol was not a factor in Jackson's death.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
A media-driven scapegoat theory. Tylenol is ubiquitous, making it a convenient suspect, but toxicology doesn't lie.
