Details of Michael Jackson's final days at Holmby Hills mansion
Michael Jackson lived in a luxurious mansion in Los Angeles before his death, where the details of his final days and his sudden passing in 2009 were witnessed. In December 2008, global pop star Michael Jackson moved into a luxury mansion in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles, where he rented the property for $100,000 a month, according to the New York Post. The palace, designed in the style of French castles, served as the artist's private residence during his preparations for his highly anticipated "This Is It" tour in London. The property, located at 100 North Carolwood Drive, includes 7 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, along with a movie theater, a wine cellar, a gym, and extensive gardens that provide a high level of privacy. The palace was designed by architect Richard Landry and built by developer Mohamed Hadid in 2002. On June 25, 2009, Jackson suffered a cardiac arrest inside the mansion, before being taken to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at the age of 50. According to the Los Angeles County coroner's report, the cause of death was acute propofol poisoning, a powerful anesthetic he was using to treat insomnia. Jackson’s personal physician, Conrad Monray, admitted to giving him the drug, explaining that he was trying to help him sleep. In 2011, he was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to four years in prison, of which he served about two. According to a report by ABC11, more than 500 items of Jackson's belongings inside the mansion were later sold through Julien's Auctions, fetching nearly $1 million. Among the most notable items on display were a mirror bearing a handwritten message that sold for $25,750, and a kitchen board on which his children had written "I love Daddy" that sold for $5,000. In 2012, the mansion was sold for $18.1 million to investment banker Stephen Mayer, after having been on the market for several years.
