Murray`s defense to claim MJ killed himself

Los Angeles: Michael Jackson is to be blamed for giving himself a fatal drug overdose, according to reports.

Lawyers for Dr Conrad Murray, accused of causing the singer’s death, are reportedly saying that it was the 50-year-old singer who accidentally gave himself the fatal overdose, reports the New York Daily News. According to celebrity site TMZ.com, Dr Murray is saying that Jackson reached for a small vial of Propofol after waking up alone while he was out of the room. Murray admits that he gave Jackson 25 mg of Propofol - about an eighth of a bottle. And Murray`s legal defense will reportedly argue that in the two minutes Murray left the singer`s room to use the bathroom, Jackson woke up and, in frustration at not being asleep, administered himself more Propofol, causing an overdose. As part of a criminal investigation, prosecutors have charged Murray with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Jackson, 50, who had been rehearsing for a series of concerts in London before his death.
